The CV OEMs are back under pressure as sales have sharply fallen in April’21 after signs of revival in the first three months of the calendar year. While for many OEMs the year-on-year April sales would appear positive, given there was hardly any sales in April 2020 due to a nationwide lockdown, most companies have seen sales decline in April 2021 as compared to March 2021.

For Ashok Leyland, sales were down by 50.51 percent month on month for Ashok Leyland, which registered sales figures of 7,961 units in April’21 compared to 15,761 in March’21. The company’s April sales included 3,803 M&HCV trucks, 180 M&HCV buses, and 3,978 LCVs.
