TIL Desk/Business/Chennai/ Chennai-headquartered automaker Ashok Leyland has announced that it will shut down its production facility for five days from Friday due to contraction in the commercial vehicle market.
On Thursday, Leyland — also the countrys third-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer — said in a statement: “As already informed, due to continuing sluggishness and contraction in the commercial vehicle market, the need has arisen to continue the corrective actions to safeguard the interest of the company.
