The document provides an overview of the Indian agriculture and tractor industry. It notes that India has the highest arable land globally at 47% of total land. The average farm size is small at less than 2 hectares. There is a shortage of agricultural labor due to increasing wages and urbanization, increasing the need for mechanization. Tractors occupy nearly 90% of the Indian agricultural machinery market, which is expected to grow steadily due to factors like low tractor penetration, availability of credits, and opportunities in new markets. The largest players in the industry are Mahindra, TAFE, Escorts and ITL.

8. •War surplus tractors and bulldozers imported
•Central and State Tractor Organizations set up to develop and promote the supply and use of
tractors
1945 to 1960.
•Initiated local production began with five manufacturers producing a total of 880 units per year.
Eicher, Gujarat Tractors, TAFE, Escorts, M&M.
1961 to 1970.
•Six new manufacturers were established during this period
•Escorts Ltd began local manufacture of Ford tractors in 1971 in collaboration with Ford, UK.
•Credit facilities for farmers continued to improve
1971 to 1980.
•A further five (Auto Tractors, Haryana Tractors, United Auto Tractors, Asian Tractors, VST Tillers)
manufacturers began production during this period but only last one survived in the increasingly
competitive market place.
•Then India a net importer up to the mid-seventies became an exporter in the 80's mainly to
countries in Africa.
1981 to 1990.
•Since 1992 it has not been necessary to obtain an industrial license for tractor manufacture in
India.
•By 1997 annual production exceeded 255000 units and the national tractor park had passed the
two million mark.
•Many new manufacturers like Bajaj Tempo, New Holland, John Deere have started production.

---Primary consumers of this
industry
--Tractors are replacing the
traditional methods
--Size of farms drives their
buying decision
--Easy credit facilities available
making buying tractors
convenient
Construction Companies
--They use tractors for
transport of raw materials like
brick, cement, sand, etc.
--Their need is shifting towards
bigger BHP tractors as they can
carry more material by weight
and ensure faster delivery.

Increase in

Due to land

farmers with small

not buying tractor
There is need for
