This is India’s only Chevy Silverado which has been detailed in a video. I’ve documented numerous cases where individuals have imported a multitude of luxury vehicles from different corners of the globe into India. The Carnet permit facilitates the importation of cars into India without causing a financial strain. It serves as an excellent method to explore the country in a distinctive vehicle for a specific period. However, the owner of this Silverado has registered it in India. Hence, he can keep it here permanently. Now, let’s delve into the specifics of this recent case.

This video comes from Yash9w on YouTube. The host brings us a thorough walkaround tour of this monster truck. It is one of the most prominent pickup trucks on the planet. As per the information by the owner in this video, he imported it from Dubai to Mumbai. Hence, the registration plate reads MH. He even modified it and took the steering wheel from the left side to the right side in Mumbai. It also has valid insurance. Therefore, unlike the cars imported through Carnet, this one is a permanently Indian-registered car. But to achieve all this, the owner had to shell out a jaw-dropping Rs 3 Crore.

Author’s Note
Importing cars into India is becoming increasingly popular these days. As a result, we get to witness some internationally popular models on our roads. While most of them use the cost-efficient Carnet route, some just outright pay the import duties in full and register it here. Needless to mention, there could be challenges with regard to servicing and spare parts. But if you have the money to import them as well, it should be fine. That is exactly what the owner of this Silverado does.
