Mukesh Ambani’s wife Nita Ambani once travelled to Sri Lanka for shopping 25000 pieces of…, items were worth Rs…

Nita Ambani undoubtedly has an exquisite taste. Every little detail in her home is a symbol of the opulent wealth of the richest Indian family. Be it rare jewel collection or special handloom saree, Mrs Ambani has an inclination towards the unique. Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, once reportedly gifted his wife a special private jet that offered travel comfort, reduced hassle, and furnished with 5-star hotel like luxury. And once, she used her private jet to fly across the country to buy something that is costlier in India.  Don’t we prefer to travel to shops where same item is presented at a cheaper rate? When it’s the Ambani, the luxury is to travel cross country to save money!

According to several reports, Nita Ambani once flew to Sri Lanka to purchase crockery! But, the word has it that it wasn’t some usual and regular piece of crockery. It was supposedly made of gold-platinum and manufactured in a 106-year-old Japanese company called Noritake.

Noritake is a popular chain from Japan that is regarded for it’s high-end luxury manufacturing of porcelain crockery that is embellished with 22-karat gold and/or platinum. Sri Lanka remains as the hub of the of the company and also serves as the export base.

While Noritake has a showroom in Mumbai, the businesswoman and philanthropist chose to fly to Sri Lanka because it is 70-80 percent cheaper than elsewhere, reported Economic Time. As per this report, Nita Ambani had an enquiry for around 25,000 piece for the shop where a 50 piece dinner set with 22 carat gold/platinum trimmings could cost $300-500 in Sri Lanka. this would amount to nearly Rs 25000 to Rs 42,0000.  Meanwhile the same set costs  $800 to $2000, or Rs. 67,000 to Rs. 1.6 lakh in India.

This is not the first time Nita Ambani had travelled for shopping. Prior to the grand wedding of her youngest son Anant Ambani with Radhika Merchant in July 2024, an excited mother travelled to Banaras to try chaat and purchase sarees as well.
