Ashok Leyland bags order for 300 buses from Bangladesh

NEW DELHI: Hinduja flagship firm Ashok Leyland today said it has bagged an order from Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) for supply of 300 buses.

The order is for double-decker buses which have been procured against a tender under Indian Line of Credit, the company said in a statement.

The delivery will take place within eight months from now, it added.


"Bangladesh is one of our key export markets and this order further strengthens our position," Ashok Leyland Managing Director Vinod K Dasari said.

He further said:"Exports have been a strong focus for us to de-risk from cyclicality in Indian market and to globalise our product portfolio. This is a significant win for us and builds on the strong export growth we had last year."
