Ashok Leyland, the Indian flagship of the Hinduja Group and the country’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, conducted the ground-breaking ceremony on Tuesday to set up a new integrated commercial vehicle plant focused on green mobility in Uttar Pradesh.
The primary focus will be on the production of electric buses while also having the capability to produce other vehicles powered by existing and other emerging alternative fuels. This facility will be Ashok Leyland’s seventh vehicle plant in the country. Once operational, the plant will initially have the capacity to produce 2,500 vehicles per year. Ashok Leyland plans to expand this capacity to 5,000 vehicles annually over the next decade, anticipating the growing demand for electric and other types of vehicles in the coming years.
