Ashok Leyland is stepping up its global expansion plans with a target of reaching around 25,000 export vehicles over the medium term.
The commercial vehicle maker is looking to strengthen its presence across international markets through deeper localisation, strategic partnerships and new manufacturing opportunities. ASEAN is emerging as a key focus area for the company, which aims to make the region its next major export growth hub.
Ashok Leyland’s export business has already recorded strong growth. The company exported a record 18,082 vehicles in FY26, up from 15,255 units in the previous financial year. Exports currently contribute close to 10% of the company’s revenue, with the company aiming to increase that share over time.
The company is also expanding its international footprint through partnerships and local production plans. Its global strategy includes a partnership with Indonesia’s PT Pindad and plans for an assembly facility in Saudi Arabia.
With growing demand for commercial vehicles, electric buses and defence products across emerging markets, Ashok Leyland is betting on a broader global presence to drive its next phase of growth.
