Total tractor sales (Domestic + Exports) during August 2022 were at 21,520 units, as against 21,360 units for the same period last year. Exports for the month stood at 1,382 units.
Commenting on the performance, Hemant Sikka, President - Farm Equipment Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said, “We have sold 20,138 tractors in the domestic market during August 2022, with a growth of 1% over last year. The monsoon has been overall positive, with 8% higher than LPA; however, the spatial distribution has been deficient in key paddy states of eastern India, thus impacting paddy sowing. We are optimistic that tractor purchases on auspicious days in the festive season will lead to a revival in demand as farmers start preparations for harvesting operations. We are preparing for strong tractor demand in the festive season. In the export market, we have sold 1,382 tractors, a growth of 1% over last year.”
