Ashok Leyland has secured an order from the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) for 1,282 fully built buses. This is one of the largest orders from a state transport undertaking for a single original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and will strengthen Ashok Leyland s position in the Indian bus market.
GSRTC at present has a fleet of 7,966 buses. But GSRTC Secretary Ravi Nirmal said that they have received a number of representations demanding launch of new bus routes and increasing frequency of buses on existing routes.
