Ashok Leylanland share price today: Ashok Leyland opened on the higher side today and shot up 5.61 per cent to Rs 123.30 mark. According to stock market experts, this rise in Ashok Leyland price is due to the market speculation about strong March quarter results of the company.

They advised investors to buy Ashok Leyland shares at current levels for the target up to Rs 134 in two week time-horizon.

Speaking on the possible reason for rise in Ashok Leyland share price, Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities said, "After scrappage policy announcement, Ashok Leyland is expected to get major benefit of the new auto sales fuelled by the government policy. Apart from this, January to March quarter auto sales have been strong and that is also expected to get reflected in the quarterly results.
