Post Budget Reaction – Ashok Leyland

Quote attributed to Mr. Dheeraj Hinduja, Executive Chairman, Ashok Leyland: 

“Union Budget 2023-24 is aligned with the Prime Minister’s vision of building a competitive and resilient India, with inclusive growth. The budget emphasises comprehensive national infrastructure development and expands on the digitization of the economy. The road transportation sector plays an important role in national development and would have an even more impactful role, going forward, in supporting the Government’s vision. The announcement that old vehicles owned by the central government and state governments will be replaced as part of the vehicle scrapping policy presents a significant opportunity for fleet modernisation. This budget also echoes our sentiment and commitment to clean energy vehicles for a cleaner and greener future, as part of a national mission to achieve the net zero carbon emission goal.”

The budget further reinforces our nation’s ambition to make India “Atmanirbhar.” The entire budget for this year addresses a wide range of topics to support the economy, including health, education, infrastructure, and agriculture.”
