I am very keen to know who is buying in a very tight range for the last 2 days.
Looks like one of their directors picked up a million shares. Nice to see that one of the guys at the top has faith in the company.

New Delhi: Hinduja flagship company Ashok Leyland on Tuesday said it has developed hythane engines to power its buses, in association with Australia’s Eden Energy.
“The hythane engines are powered by a fuel which is a mix of CNG and hydrogen (usually 20% hydrogen by volume). We have been testing these engines at our Chennai facility,” said Ashok Leyland senior manager (alternate fuels product development) S. Yoganandam.
He said it took the company two years to develop the hythane engine, the fuel technology for which has been provided by the Australian partner, but declined to comment on the investment into the project.
The six-cylinder, 6-litre engine is compliant with Bharat Stage IV emission norms and application of these engines to buses is at an advanced stage at Ashok Leyland, he added.
“As far as commercialisation of the engine is concerned, we are ready but it all depends on the availability of fuel. Right now there are only two hythane stations in the country, which are located in Delhi,“ Yoganandam said.
Besides, a four-cylinder 4-litre engine is also being developed for hydrogen-CNG blend in a joint research and development programme with ministry of new and renewable energy and Indian Oil Corp., he added.
It is the second largest commercial vehicle company in India in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle (M&HCV) segment with a market share of 28% (2007-08). With passenger transportation options ranging from 18 seaters to 52 seaters, Ashok Leyland is a market leader in the bus segment. Eight out of ten metro state transport buses in India are from Ashok Leyland. The company claims to carry over 60 million passengers a day, more people than the entire Indian rail network.

Any thoughts on whether this might affect share price?
. However, I'm not clear on how the revenues work, I assume some sort of licensing arrangement.
In addition, the airport will build a second station next door dispensing hythane, a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas. The airport plans to use that fuel in some of its many vehicles that now run on compressed natural gas.
