India businessman got Dubai number plate

An Indian businessman has paid $9 million at auction to grab a single-digit car registration plate in Dubai, feeding a passion for "unique" number plates.

Balwinder Sahani, who owns a Dubai-based property management company, spent Dh33 million on the "D5" number plate, in an auction organised by the road authority, citing a local daily.

"I have collected 10 number plates so far and I am looking forward to having more. It's a passion. This number will go to one of my Rolls-Royces," he said.
