Demand for bulletproof vehicles soars before Assembly polls

However, as some of the states are going to polls, the demand to armour the cars has steadily increased from 55 to 75 per cent depending on the client's home state.

With Assembly elections approaching, politicians in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh are busy getting their vehicles customised. The vehicles are being made bulletproof by adding armour.

Mohali- based JCBL, which specialises in armouring vehicles for its clients, has been seeing a significant increase in the number of orders over the past few weeks.
