Ashok Leyland reported a 2.6% year-on-year rise in net profit to Rs 609 crore for the June quarter, with revenue from operations up 10.4% to Rs 9,634 crore. The company posted record first-quarter commercial vehicle sales of 48,763 units, led by strong light commercial vehicle demand. However, higher commodity costs squeezed EBITDA margin to 10.1% from 11.1% a year ago. Exports fell to 2,461 units due to West Asia disruptions. The company plans Rs 1,000 crore capex this year and proposed a £25 million investment in its UK-based electric mobility unit. AI is being deployed to boost productivity, not cut jobs.
