As a part of Ashok Leyland’s 75th-anniversary celebration, the company’s executive chairman Dheeraj Hinduja told ET, ‘Today we are proud to flag off the Stallion Manzil ka Safar drive in honour of our long-standing association with the Indian armed forces.’

We are fully committed to serving the Indian military forces, as evidenced by the drive from Kanyakumari to Leh, and we will keep moving forward while emulating the spirit of progress and nation-building, he added in a social media post.
