Ashok Leyland Q3: There might be a moderation in growth in Q4 because of the effect of the upcoming elections and the high base of last year. But the country is behaving differently and it may not be right to look at the history and project the future, the company said.
The company expects to maintain its market share in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle segments and aims to reach 35% market share in the future. Ashok Leyland has seen growth in the bus segment, with a 65% increase, twice the industry growth. The company has also improved its market share from 28.2% to 33%. Additionally, Ashok Leyland is nearing market trials for fully electric 55-tonne AVTAR Tractor Trailers and plans to expand its dealer network to reach 1,000 dealers.
