Top 20 Districts Contribute Over 11% to India’s Tractor Sales in Q1 FY'26

One of the strongest evidence of change in India's agriculture sector is the rise in tractor sales. A total of 23,160 retail tractors were sold in India during the first quarter of FY 2025. It shows that the country is moving more and more toward mechanised farming and technology-driven farming.

It was surprising that only 20 districts in the country accounted for 11.21% of the country's total retail tractor sales. That's a huge percentage coming from a small area, which shows that there is a strong push in areas that are fully supporting agricultural improvement.

Top States with the Highest Tractor Sales

Let's see which districts made it to the top and how they affected the states they were in.

Rajasthan Occupied the First Place

Rajasthan is the most Important state for district-level tractor sales. In Q1 of FY'26, Rajasthan sold a total of 29,423 tractors, with 8 districts making it into the top 20 list, including Bikaner (1853 units), Nagaur (1,458 units), Alwar (1,407 units), Jodhpur (1,173 units, Sri Ganganagar (1,150 units), Chittorgarh (1,093 units), Jaipur (First) RTO (1,057 units) and Tonk (941 units). 

In total, these districts recorded 10,132 tractors, which is about 34.44% of Rajasthan's total sales. It shows that the rural market in Rajasthan is flourishing and people are using tractors at the grassroots level.

Bihar Got the 5th Spot

What Does This Mean for the Future?

The retail tractor sales data for the first quarter of FY’26 shows that Indian farming is changing. These top-performing districts are using machines not only because they need to, but also because they have access to:

• More capital
• Government subsidies
• Skilled and efficient workers
• More knowledge about productivity

These insights are very helpful not only for farmers but also for tractor manufacturers, policymakers, agri-tech startups, and financial institutions. They can now plan better at the district level instead of merely the state level.
