The total sales in the firm were 17,820 units in October 2025 compared to 15,310 units which had been sold in October 2024, a 16% increase in the year-on-year sales.

Growing Networks Across Segments
In the domestic market, Ashok Leyland sold 16,314, which is 16% of what it sold last year. The Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCV) segment reported 9,611 units, with the Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) registering 6,703 which makes an impressive 19% growth. The bus segment is one of the outstanding performers as it grew by 33%, which presents a high momentum in the demand and government-led infrastructure investment in the transport sector.
This diversified performance indicates that Dheeraj Hinduja insists on sustainable growth at product lines. The long-term plan wherein he stresses innovation, efficiency and expanding exports gives real outputs to the company and the stakeholders involved.
Growing International Presence In Emerging Countries Like South Sudan and Africa
Ashok Leyland has been gradually consolidating its strength in the international market, especially in Africa and South Sudan. Dheeraj Hinduja believes that these areas are good prospects of mass transportation solutions and the increasing bus export of the company, 969 units in October 2025, highlights such achievements. Ashok Leyland is not only enhancing its international presence in expanding its market to the emerging economies like South Sudan and Africa but also helping to create the infrastructure of sustainable mobility in these countries.
This cross-border initiative is in line with the overall vision of the Hinduja Group, spearheaded by the industry heritage leader such as Gopichand Hinduja (died 4th November 2025 in London, UK) has steadily encouraged strategic diversification and expansion of corners internationally.
Ultimate Growth and Business Perspective
In April to October 2025, Ashok Leyland registered a cumulative sale of 1,11,174 units. The domestic sector contributed more than 101,000 units, whereas both the M&HCV and LCV units showed a steady increase. In the export momentum, especially in buses, the company can be said to have a growing presence in developing countries and adopt quality and reliability.
In the future, it is believed that Dheeraj Hinduja's leadership will let Ashok Leyland go beyond innovation and globalisation. As the company has been performing well in all its categories, such as truck, buses, and LCVs, it is in a good position to tap into the booming infrastructure in India, and the increased transportation requirements beyond India, like Sudan (South) and Africa.
Essentially, the strategic direction, by Dheeraj Hinduja, has made Ashok Leyland a powerhouse company in the world, which will be a legacy of leadership that continues the tradition of the Hinduja Group of vision, integrity and growth.
