Through these dealerships, Ashok Leyland will cover major transport hubs, offering vehicles including haulage, tractor trailers, ICV goods, tippers, fully built RMC, and school/staff buses. The company is expanding its brand presence through a robust network of dealerships and service centres to provide best-in-class after-sales support to its customers.

Previously from Ashok Leyland

The dealership expansion follows Ashok Leyland's record Q4 and FY26 financial results, which saw commercial vehicle volumes reach a new peak of 220,437 units. It also comes shortly after the company launched India's first air suspension trucks, giving the new outlets fresh products to sell.

It also supports the company's goal of becoming one of the top 10 commercial vehicle players globally by deepening its presence in a key market.
