Hinduja flagship firm Ashok Leyland on Friday said it had bagged an order from Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) for supply of 300 buses.
The order is for double decker buses which have been procured against a tender under Indian Line of Credit, the company said in a statement.
The delivery of the buses to BRTC would take place within eight months, the Chennai-based commercial vehicle major said in the statement.
“Bangladesh is one of our key export markets and this order further strengthens our position. Winning this order in Bangladesh is yet another testimony of our leadership in the country,” Ashok Leyland managing director Vinod K Dasari said. He further said: “Exports have been a strong focus for us to de-risk from cyclicality in Indian market and to globalise our product portfolio. This is a significant win for us and builds on the strong export growth we had last year.
Recently, Ashok Leyland’s UK subsidiary Optare PLC bagged an order for supply of 31 units of ‘electric double-decker’ buses from Transport for London.
