Ashok Leyland, India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, will set up an electric bus manufacturing unit in Uttar Pradesh.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed in this regard between Ashok Leyland and the Government of Uttar Pradesh in a programme organised in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday.
Welcoming Ashok Leyland to Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that it was a historic milestone for the people of the state. He said that it was surprising that Ashok Leyland had not yet had a presence in a state like UP, which had a huge population of 25 crore and was the largest demographic capital in the country. “In this sense, today is a historic day,” he added.
