Faridabad, June 1st, 2021: Escorts Ltd Agri Machinery Segment (EAM) in May 2021 sold 6,423 against 6,594 tractors sold in May 2020.

Domestic tractor sales in May 2021 were at 6,158 tractors as against 6,454 tractors in May 2020. Our country is going through some tough times and a slowdown in demand is seen due to the impact of COVID-19 in the rural parts impairing the movement of customers and smooth operations of our dealerships. The ground situation has somewhat eased in the last few days of the month, and we expect to return to normalcy soon. In the medium term, we see rural sentiment to be strong, on account of all positive macroeconomic factors viz. prediction of a good monsoon, high crop production, and better support by the Government on crop prices. Inflation continues unabated and remains a worry.

Export tractor sales in May 2021 was at 265 tractors against 140 tractors sold in May 2020, registering a growth of 89.3%.”
