CMV360 Says

May 2025 was a positive month for India’s tractor industry, with strong sales across major brands. Mahindra, TAFE, and John Deere led the charge, while ACE surprised with impressive growth. On the other hand, Escorts Kubota and Captain Tractors faced volume and share setbacks.

The upward trend reflects good monsoon forecasts, improving rural income, and ongoing government support for mechanised farming. The domestic tractor sector is expected to remain strong in the coming months.
