Hinduja Group flagship Ashok Leyland today announced that it has won another order from Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) for 88 AC buses for a value of $6.5 million (around Rs 36.41 crore) under the Indian Line of Credit (LoC) scheme offered for the improvement of urban transportation in that country. Earlier this month, the company announced it had won an order worth $6 million (around Rs 33 crore) to supply 50 Vestibule buses to BRTC.
The new order comes as an addition to the more than 11,000 vehicles of different models exported to Bangladesh. The company's international operations in volumes has shown a robust growth with 12,852 vehicles last year, with a growth of 25%, said the company announcement.
Vinod K Dasari, managing director, Ashok Leyland, said: "This represents our commitment to partner BRTC in the process of taking urban transportation in Bangladesh to a new level and underscores our preeminent status as the leading CV player in that country. At this juncture, I would like to express my thanks to our Bangladesh dealer, Ifad Autos, of over two decades for their continued support and co-operation,"
He said that winning the order was another significant step towards achieving Ashok Leyland's vision to be globally among top 10 truck and top five bus manufacturers.
