Balakrishna Spends Big for BMW’s Perfect Plate: TG09 F0001

For many, owning a dream car is a thrill. But for some, it’s the perfect vehicle number that adds that extra touch of pride—and they’re willing to pay a premium for it. Case in point: actor and Andhra Pradesh MLA, Nandamuri Balakrishna.

Balakrishna recently purchased a brand-new BMW and made sure it came with a number as special as the car itself. He participated in a vehicle number auction and successfully secured the highly coveted TG09 F0001 by shelling out ₹7.75 lakh.

The auction, held under the Khairatabad RTO, raked in a whopping ₹37.15 lakh in a single day from various fancy number bids—a significant figure for just one zone.

Interestingly, most of the high-value numbers were snapped up by companies rather than individuals, underscoring how vehicle registration numbers have become status symbols not just for personal pride, but also for business branding.

Balakrishna’s choice is a perfect example of how, for some, it's not just about driving luxury—it’s about driving it with style, luck, and a bit of personal flair.
