• Helps improve the use of agricultural residues

• Supports India’s push for ethanol blending and sustainable farming

3. Electric Tractor on OJA Platform

• Features fast-charging capability

• Promises lower operating costs

• Developed for long-term clean energy adoption in agriculture

Developed at Mahindra Research Valley, Chennai

All three technologies were developed at Mahindra Research Valley, the company’s global R&D hub. Mahindra stated that these solutions align with India’s national goals of expanding clean energy use, supporting sustainable agriculture, and reducing emissions.

Veejay Nakra, President of Mahindra’s Farm Equipment Business, said the company is committed to accelerating India’s shift toward alternate fuels and contributing to the nation’s net-zero emissions goal for 2070.

Mahindra’s Broader Vision for Clean Energy Farming

Mahindra has been working on non-diesel tractor platforms for several years, including early prototypes of CNG and CBG tractors. According to the company, wider adoption of CNG, ethanol, biogas, and electric power can significantly reduce farmers’ running costs and lower reliance on traditional fuels.

Along with the alternate-fuel models, Mahindra and its Swaraj brand also showcased their full range of diesel tractors and farm implements, giving farmers a complete view of available and upcoming solutions.
