MHA upgrades Mukesh Ambani’s security cover to Z plus

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has upgraded the security cover of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani to 'Z plus' from the current Z category, sources said on Thursday. 

Earlier, Ambani was given the 'Z' category security cover. However, his security has now been increased to 'Z plus' based on a report by the IB



(Intelligence Bureau). 

   

The cost of security will be borne by Ambani, the sources said. 

The discussion had been underway to increase the security cover of the RIL chairman after the Antila explosive incident where an explosive-laden Scorpio was found parked near the private residence of Ambani.
