Ashok Leyland’s LCV division has signed an MoU with Adani Capital to enter into a strategic financing partnership for its range of Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs). This MoU will enable the two companies to offer customised financial solutions for customers in the small CV and LCV segments.

The company is seeing growing demand for its LCV range and aims to ride the surging wave of demand for last-mile deliveries in the country. In Q1 FY2023, Ashok Leyland sold a total of 14,209 LCVs, up 63% year on year.
