Speaking on the reason for the rise in Ashok Leyland share price, Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities said, "Ashok Leyland Q1 FY21 results are quite weak and the fundamentals of the company are expected to remain weak due to the COVID-19 impact. However, this rise can be attributed to the GoI making some announcement in the Scrappage Policy in a day or two. The market is expecting that once the scrappage policy is announced, Ashok Leyland being the largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in India, will be one of the major beneficiaries of this announcement by the GoI."
