Kala suggested him to build a vehicle.
I wanted to have the same system as the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG, which has a bullet resistant body and chassis, but we are able to do so. here
Veeva is not the first bulletproof design in the market.
The reason why Veeva has built such a bullet car is because we have a very good technology and a very advanced design,” Kala told me in a phone interview. [links]
Kala told us that the first Veeva was built in 2009. [links]
I have known Kala Panday for a long time, but I was not expecting him to be the one to be doing all the work. [links]
Each Bullet Proof Tyre can cost starting at Rs. 1.5 Lakh / Tire INR
Bullet Proof Glass - A Bulletproof glass is generally combination of Polycarbonate and Leaded Glass which is 2 inch to 3 inch thick and is considered to stop shot from Rifle. Side Window Glass and Windshield in Front and Rear are Modified with this Special Glass here
Suspension Modification - Been the Weight of the car is increased Substantially - the Suspension is completely overhauled with New Shockers, Lower Arm, Link Rod, Steering Joints etc - so that the additional weight can easily be accommodated.
Bulletproof Steel Body - Generally the Body (including doors, Bumpers, Fenders) of the car is initially removed and a layers of Armour Plate (combination of Bullet Proof Steel from 5mm to 6mm thick with Kevlar) is used to cover the entire Structure and doors. Then the Door Panels, Bumpers, Fenders are added back on to this. It does not change in the Body Design of the car. Only - the Body is now Protected with additional layers to absorb in gun attack.

For someone who has many enemies or is a VIP, a bulletproof car or armored car is the ultimate in car safety. The question is, how does someone get a bulletproof car? Are bulletproof cars illegal? Here are the facts.
According to Armormax, a leading armored vehicle manufacturer and retailer, it is not illegal for civilians to own a bulletproof car or an armored car. Depending on state and local laws, it might even be legal to have additional countermeasures on a bulletproof car owned by a civilian. more
Accident prevention is great as it is the most likely emergency that can happen while driving. But how would those safety systems help if a small army of armed individuals attacked you? We can’t think of any standard safety equipment that would help in a live-fire situation.
Then the armoring begins. The armor, which in most cases is high-hardness ballistic steel, is applied like a jigsaw puzzle all over the car, including underneath. There's a small overlap with each piece, as gaps are not good in any armored car. "Think of it as a cocoon," says Ron Leffler, project manager at Alpine Armoring. "If you were to shoot the car from any angle, it would not get through." That includes the firewall, the tailgate and even the battery being armored. The factory glass is replaced with custom glass anywhere from 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.6 centimeters) thick.
There are different levels of armoring, depending on the type of ballistic the customer wants to stop. Lighter armor doesn't add as much weight, but it only stops handguns. The heaviest armor really weighs a vehicle down, but it can also stop a sniper rifle. more
First, you have to have a suitable vehicle to armor. Most armored cars are built to customer specifications, so a company like Alpine Armoring will buy from a dealership or a fleet service. The vehicle will be brought to the shop and stripped of absolutely everything -- seats, carpet, headliner, door panels -- everything.
