A source said Mr Ambani, who is reported to be the eighth richest on earth, is keen to build his foothold in the UK, attracted by its transparent regulations.
They said he had looked into buying Chelsea after owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the Government over what it said were his links to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
