Ashok Leyland and the Haryana government have signed an agreement to build a dedicated driver training institute in the state.
Ashok Leyland, one of India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers, has entered into a partnership with the Haryana government to establish a new driver training institute. The institute will be located in Haryana and is intended to provide structured training for professional drivers, aiming to improve road safety and address the skill shortage in the commercial transport sector.
The collaboration will see Ashok Leyland contributing its expertise in vehicle operation, maintenance and safety protocols, while the state government will facilitate land, infrastructure and regulatory support. Officials said the centre will offer classroom sessions, practical driving modules and certification aligned with national standards.
The project is part of Haryana’s broader effort to modernise its transport ecosystem and boost employment in the automotive services segment. Details on the institute’s capacity, timeline and funding structure are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
