Domestic tractor sales in February 2022 was at 5,686 tractors as against 10,690 tractors in February 2021. The tractor industry wholesales continued to remain subdued in February 2022, due to high base of last year, steep price increases due to higher inflation in commodity prices impacting retails and above normal inventory levels with the channel.

 

Going forward, we expect overall higher rabi sowing this year, good level of water reservoirs, increased Union budget allocations to rural and agri sector and initial indicators of normal monsoon next year will drive positive momentum for tractor industry in coming year.
