What Ashok Leyland does

Hinduja Group's commercial-vehicle maker, India's second-largest producer of trucks and buses.

Sells trucks and buses largely to fleet operators and state transport undertakings, so sales rise and fall with freight activity, infrastructure building and replacement cycles of aging trucks. Spare parts and service, plus defense vehicle supply, give steadier income. The Hinduja Group is the controlling shareholder, and its Switch Mobility unit makes electric buses.

In one line: India's Paccar/Navistar.
