Chennai: Commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland Limited has bagged an order for 2,850 buses from seven state transport undertakings (STU) owned by the Tamil Nadu government, an official said Thursday.
Rajive Saharia, executive director, said: “While, on one hand, it goes a long way in consolidating our market leadership status in the bus segment both in India and, more particularly, in Tamil Nadu, it also reveals our readiness to address the more stringent emission norms that are expected to come into effect in October 2010.”
The order includes a requirement from Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) for 150 vehicles conforming to Bharat Stage IV emission norms and is the very first such order to be received from an STU.
