Overall sales gain 5,236 units in September
Ashok Leyland’s domestic total vehicle sales stood at 22,157 units in September 2026, compared with 17,209 units in September 2025, marking a 29% increase and a gain of 4,948 vehicles.

The September numbers therefore point to a broad-based increase led by M&HCV trucks, with LCVs also maintaining double-digit growth. The key offset was the decline in cumulative M&HCV bus volumes, which remained below the year-ago level despite the segment’s growth during September.
