India stands at the cusp of a mobility revolution. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, our nation’s transportation needs are evolving rapidly, demanding solutions that are not only efficient and reliable but also sustainable. At Ashok Leyland, we see this transformation not as a challenge, but as a tremendous opportunity to lead, innovate, and redefine the future of commercial mobility.
As the flagship company of the Hinduja Group, Ashok Leyland has always been more than just a vehicle manufacturer. We are a mobility solutions provider, deeply committed to serving the needs of millions of Indians—whether it’s through our trucks that power commerce, our buses that connect communities, or our electric vehicles that promise a cleaner tomorrow.
Investing in the Future: The Battery Ecosystem
One of our most ambitious and strategic moves in recent times has been our ₹5,000 crore investment in battery localisation. This isn’t just a financial commitment—it’s a declaration of intent. We are partnering with CALB Group, a global leader in battery technology, to develop and manufacture next-generation batteries right here in India. This initiative will not only support our own electric vehicle portfolio, including Switch Mobility, but also cater to the broader automotive and energy storage sectors.
Why batteries? Because they are the heart of the electric revolution. By localising battery production, we reduce our dependence on imports, strengthen our supply chain, and create a robust ecosystem that supports innovation, job creation, and economic growth. Our vision includes establishing a Global Centre of Excellence focused on battery materials, recycling, management systems, and advanced manufacturing processes.
Sustainability as Strategy
Sustainability is no longer a buzzword—it’s a business imperative. At Ashok Leyland, we align our goals with the Government of India’s vision for clean mobility. Our product portfolio is expanding to include electric, CNG, LNG, and hydrogen-powered vehicles. Each of these technologies plays a role in reducing emissions, improving fuel efficiency, and enhancing the overall quality of life for our citizens.
But sustainability isn’t just about products. It’s about how we operate. From green manufacturing practices to energy-efficient logistics, we are embedding sustainability into every layer of our operations. Our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives are designed to ensure that we grow responsibly, inclusively, and transparently.
Innovation with Purpose
Innovation at Ashok Leyland is not driven by trends—it’s driven by purpose. We believe in solving real-world problems with cutting-edge technology. Whether it’s our modular truck platforms that offer unmatched flexibility, or our intelligent telematics systems that empower fleet operators with actionable insights, every innovation is designed to deliver tangible value.
Our R&D teams are working tirelessly to develop vehicles that are smarter, safer, and more connected. We are investing in AI, IoT, and data analytics to create mobility solutions that are not just reactive, but predictive. The future of transportation is autonomous, electric, and intelligent—and we intend to be at the forefront of that future.
Empowering People
Behind every Ashok Leyland vehicle is a team of passionate individuals who believe in our mission. From engineers and designers to factory workers and sales professionals, our people are our greatest asset. We are committed to nurturing talent, fostering diversity, and creating a workplace culture that encourages innovation and collaboration.
We also recognise our responsibility to the communities we serve. Through our CSR initiatives, we support education, healthcare, and skill development programs across India. We believe that true progress is measured not just in profits, but in the positive impact we create.
Looking Ahead
The road ahead is exciting. With India’s infrastructure expanding, e-commerce booming, and urbanisation accelerating, the demand for commercial mobility will only grow. At Ashok Leyland, we are ready to meet that demand with solutions that are smart, sustainable, and scalable.
Our journey is far from over. In fact, it’s just beginning. As we invest in new technologies, forge global partnerships, and deepen our commitment to sustainability, we remain guided by a simple yet powerful principle: to drive India forward.
To our customers, partners, employees, and stakeholders—thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we will build a future where mobility is not just a means of transport, but a catalyst for progress.
