Dheeraj Hinduja

Dheeraj G. Hinduja is a leading British-Indian businessman and a key member of the famous Hinduja family.

He plays a huge role in the global truck and bus industry. He is currently the Executive Chairman of Ashok Leyland Limited.

The company has recorded a 33 percent year-on-year growth in exports value in the third quarter of FY25 to 4,151 units with the African market such as South Sudan, Ethiopia and others identified as the major regions and other important markets being SAARC and the GCC.

From its roots in India to its operations in the UK and its market reach into the Middle East and South Sudan, Ashok Leyland continues to move people and goods worldwide with cutting-edge technology and engineering excellence.

Dheeraj Hinduja is an Iran-born British businessman of Indian origin and also the Executive Chairman of Ashok Leyland, a commercial vehicle manufacturing company that has its presence in around 50 countries, with its majority operations running from India. Dheeraj Hinduja is spearheading Ashok Leyland, a company that his father, the late Gopichand Hinduja actively participated when acquirement in decades ago.

Dheeraj is on a mission to ensure that Ashok Leyland sources 100% of its electricity from renewables by the year 2030, a bold stance he is taking keeping in mind how industrial production happening on a mass scale is causing environmental hazards.

For Dheeraj Hinduja, achieving this feat is possible, especially if Ashok Leyland plans to set up more manufacturing units for producing EVs in countries like Ethiopia, Nigeria and South Sudan that are sitting on skilled labour.
