Ashok Leyland bags bus order from Bangladesh

India Global Business Staff

Chennai-headquartered Hinduja flagship firm Ashok Leyland today has bagged an order from Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) for a 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. Vinod K Dasari, Managing Director, Ashok Leyland, said: "Bangladesh is one of our key export markets and this order further strengthens our position.” He further said: "Exports have been a strong focus for us to de-risk from cyclicality in the 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."

In a move that renewed hope in India’s civil aviation circles, and sent waves of optimism in business circles, the Tata Group acquired beleaguered national carrier Air India for $2.4 billion last week. The transaction will be completed by December 2021.
