Ashok Leyland, one of India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, has released its sales figures for May 2025, reflecting a modest year-on-year growth in total vehicle sales. The company sold 14,534 units in the domestic market during the month, up from 13,852 units in May 2024, marking a 5% increase. Including exports, the total sales stood at 15,484 units, compared to 14,682 units in the same period last year, also indicating a 5% growth.
In the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCV) segment, domestic truck sales rose to 7,466 units in May 2025 from 6,648 units in May 2024, showing a 12% increase. The M&HCV bus category also saw a marginal rise, with 1,920 units sold compared to 1,903 units in the same month last year. The combined domestic sales of M&HCVs reached 9,386 units, a 10% increase over May 2024.
However, Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) sales in the domestic market declined slightly by 3%, totaling 5,148 units in May 2025 compared to 5,301 units in May 2024. Despite this dip, cumulative LCV sales from April to May 2025 showed a 1% increase over the same period last year, reaching 10,251 units.
Cumulative domestic M&HCV truck sales for the April-May period were nearly flat with a 1% increase, rising from 13,185 units in 2024 to 13,381 units in 2025. M&HCV bus sales for the same period fell by 14%, while total M&HCV sales dropped by 2%. Overall, domestic sales for the April-May 2025 period stood at 27,043 units, a slight 1% decline from the previous year’s 27,298 units.
On the export front, Ashok Leyland sold 2,676 M&HCV buses in May 2025, up from 2,463 in May 2024, an increase of 9%. The export-inclusive total of M&HCVs for the month reached 10,282 units, an 11% rise from 9,243 units a year ago. LCV sales, including exports, saw a 4% decrease, with 5,202 units sold compared to 5,439 in May 2024.
For the cumulative April-May 2025 period, total sales including exports were nearly unchanged at 28,905 units, compared to 28,953 units during the same period last year. The figures suggest a stable overall performance, with gains in M&HCV trucks and minor declines in buses and LCVs balancing out across the board.
