The incident occurred when two cabs rammed into the luxury car from behind one after the other. The impact led to one of the taxis overturning, while the high-end car crashed into a road divider.
The injured businessman, identified as Amit Seth, was travelling in the Mercedes car to the Mumbai Airport, reported PTI.
He was rushed to a hospital and discharged after treatment, police said, adding that further investigation is underway.

"Expressing condolences to the victims of this unfortunate accident, the BEST Undertaking is committed to providing appropriate medical assistance and support to the injured in the accident, and also conveying its condolences to the families of the deceased," according to a release issued by BEST.
