Ashok Leyland, the flagship company of the Hinduja Group and a global leader in commercial mobility solutions, has expanded its Middle East footprint with the announcement of a strategic partnership with FAMCO Qatar, part of the Al-Futtaim Group. The collaboration, unveiled at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre, marks a major step in the company’s regional growth strategy following its successful 2024 expansion into Saudi Arabia with FAMCO KSA.

The partnership brings Ashok Leyland’s complete range of commercial vehicles to Qatar, including the latest Electric Bus lineup, reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering cleaner and more sustainable mobility. With over 75 years of engineering excellence, Ashok Leyland will offer Qatari customers proven platforms such as the ‘Falcon’ and ‘Oyster’ buses—renowned for their safety, reliability, and passenger comfort—along with the ‘Boss’ and ‘Partner’ series for light and medium-duty applications. The portfolio is tailored to serve fleet operators, logistics providers, SMEs, and public transport agencies seeking operational efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Rajesh R, Head of International Operations, Ashok Leyland, said:“This is a proud moment as we bring our best-in-class commercial vehicles to Qatar in collaboration with FAMCO Qatar and the Al-Futtaim Group. Our strengthened presence in the Middle East underscores our commitment to enabling the future of mobility with reliable uptime, robust aftersales support, and sustainable innovation.”

Mr. Ramez Hamdan, Managing Director, Al-Futtaim Industrial Equipment, added:“Ashok Leyland is a brand built on trust, performance, and progress. After our success in Saudi Arabia, we are delighted to extend this impact to Qatar—a country investing in world-class infrastructure and long-term mobility transformation. With Ashok Leyland’s trusted range and the arrival of Electric Buses, FAMCO Qatar is set to support the nation’s journey toward a more connected and sustainable future.”

Backed by Al-Futtaim’s strong regional service ecosystem, the partnership promises competitive pricing, lower total cost of ownership, and reliable aftersales support—positioning it to significantly advance Qatar’s transport and logistics sector while delivering long-term value to businesses and communities.
