Ashok Leyland bags an order of 2200 buses from Sri Lankan Government

Ashok Leyland has received an order from the Government of Sri Lanka to supply 2,200 buses. This is the one of the largest purchase by the Sri Lankan Transport Board (SLTB), as the Government aims to modernise its existing fleet and significantly improve the country's public transport network.
 
Ashok Leyland will supply these buses within the next six months. "With this latest order, Ashok Leyland reinforces its position as the market leader in Sri Lanka and as an important stake holder in Sri Lankan transport," said the company in a press release.
 
Vinod Dasari, Managing Director, Ashok Leyland, said, "This is a huge order especially at a time when the domestic market is just about to bounce back. This order reaffirms our strategy to substantially enhance our sales outside India."
