Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of Ashok Leyland’s diamond jubilee celebrations on Sunday, the Chairman of the Hinduja Group, Mr S.P. Hinduja, said that the group would be looking to acquire land for the project and would need the State Government’s help. Mr Hinduja said the group aimed to make Ashok Leyland one of the five top commercial vehicle manufacturers in the world in the next 10 years. The acquisition of Czech vehicle manufacturer Avia was a move in that direction, he said. The company plans to acquire related businesses in Europe and West Asia, he added. The Governor of Tamil Nadu, Mr S.S. Barnala, presided over a function on Sunday to mark Ashok Leyland’s sixtieth anniversary.
