Ashok Leyland Annual Report 2014 15
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT
In this Annual Report, we have disclosed forward-looking information to enable investors to fully appreciate our prospects and take informed investment decisions. This report and other statement - written and oral - that we periodically make, contain forward-looking statements that set our anticipated results based on management plans and assumptions.
We have tried, where possible, to identify such statements by using words such as ‘anticipate’,
‘expect’, ‘project’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, believe, and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion of future performance.

We cannot, of course, guarantee that these forward-looking statements will be realised, although we believe we have been prudent in our assumptions. Achievement of results is subject to risks, uncertainties, and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.
Readers should bear this in mind.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Chairman’s Message

 Increase in market share of the Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCV) segment from 26.1% to 28.6% in the face of
