Leyland’s June tally up 130 percent

Ashok Leyland  reported domestic sales  at  13469 units in June, a 130 percent jump over corresponding period last year when the company recorded    5851 units in June  last year, Ashok Leyland said in a regulatory filing.

Its medium and heavy commercial vehicle segment, truck sales last month stood at  7703 units, as compared to  2259 units in the year-ago month. Likewise, its  sales of buses stood  at 696 units in June  2022 as against  105 in June  2021, reflecting the fact that schools and educational institutions are opening up. Sales of LCVs in the domestic market stood at  5070 units in June 2022  as against 3487 units in June  2021, the company said.

Ashok Leyland has been able to claw back some market share on back of new  products and variant launches. At present, its penetration in the truck segment stands at around 29 percent.
