Commenting on the performance, Hemant Sikka, President – Farm Equipment Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said “We have sold 20121 tractors in the domestic market during February 2024. Southern and western states continue to face agri-stress due to erratic and deficient monsoon. However, the Rabi crop outlook is very good, with the wheat crop likely to be a bumper crop.”
“Harvesting has started in a few states with the government supporting early procurement of wheat crops. Continued government support through various rural schemes and enhanced institutional credit will further help boost tractor demand going forward. In the export market, we have sold 1551 tractors, a growth of 32% over last year,” he added.
