The company has consistently aimed to increase market share in the commercial vehicle segment and explore new avenues for growth. The merger of its financial subsidiary is part of a strategic restructuring. ## What changes now With the approval of the merger scheme for Hinduja Leyland Finance with NDL Ventures, the company is streamlining its financial services arm. The strong financial performance provides a solid base for continued investment in R&D and capacity expansion. The declaration of a dividend signals confidence from the management. ## Risks to watch The company reported a one-time charge of ₹308.48 Crore (standalone) and ₹350.51 Crore (consolidated) due to new Labour Codes, impacting the bottom line.
