“Ashok Leyland has made substantial investments in the development of mobility platforms, including 4×4, 6×6, 8×8, 10×10, and 12×12 configurations, catering to diverse applications and operational needs of the Indian Armed Forces,” stated Amandeep Singh, the President of the company’s defense business.

These platforms are designed, developed, and manufactured domestically by Ashok Leyland, contributing to the reduction of imports in the defense sector.

Himanshu Singh, an analyst at Prabudhas Liladher Pvt, mentioned, “Ashok Leyland aims to expedite its defense business growth in the next three years, targeting tender wins of over Rs 3,500 crore, compared to the Rs 2,000 crore achieved in the past five years.”

The company boasts an impressive tender win rate of over 80% in land mobility tenders, and a higher proportion of defense business will assist in mitigating business cyclicality, he added.

As of 12:20 pm, shares of Ashok Leyland increased by 1.08% to Rs 173.60 apiece, outperforming the 0.36% gain in the NSE Nifty 50.

The trading volume in the day has reached 1.7 times its monthly average.

According to Bloomberg data, out of the 46 analysts tracking the company, 36 maintain a ‘buy’ rating, six recommend a ‘hold’, and four suggest a ‘sell’. The average 12-month consensus price target indicates a potential upside of 3.6%.
