Ashok Leyland has bagged two large integrated transport projects in Tanzania and Zimbabwe, together worth $79.2 million.
Besides the supply of trucks, buses, LCVs, spares and allied support services, including training and developmental consultancy, these projects will address a variety of mobility requirements in various tourism and economic development programs. Exim Bank has financed these projects under its NEIA scheme that supports project exports from India.
Mr. Vinod K. Dasari, Managing Director, Ashok Leyland, said: “We have made a conscious effort to provide thrust to our international operations, and Africa is a very important part of this strategy. It is very encouraging to see our efforts bear fruit. These projects are a continuation of the many pilots we have done across Africa to make integrated offerings, and these orders have been won in the face of stiff global competition. I am confident this is the beginning of a successful new area of enhanced co-operation between Ashok Leyland, Africa and our valued customers.”
