Ashok Leyland has always been looked upon as a manufacturer of heavy duty trucks and buses. This is set to change as the Hinduja Group flagship has started drawing plans to increase thrust in the LCV space post the end of Nissan association. The company, claim sources, is looking at introducing eight-to 10 products over the next two to three years in the light-duty space. For this the company is said to be investing to the tune of Rs. 400 crore. The new products are expected to be a mix of both, updated versions of existing products and new ground up vehicles. The first vehicle from the company is expected to reach the market in the next six months. While new vehicles will be developed in-house, as per the pact, the Dost and Partner will be built by Ashok Leyland under a licensing agreement with Nissan.
