This document presents a study on analyzing the performance of dealers for New Holland tractors in Nasik District, India. The objectives are to understand customer and dealer expectations, determine dealer satisfaction levels, and provide suggestions. It involved a literature review, collection of primary data through 130 customer and 21 dealer questionnaires, and analysis. Key findings include that customers' main expectation is improved service, dealers want more promotion support, and dealer satisfaction is high for tractor quality and profit margin but lower for training. Suggestions focus on improving infrastructure, after-sales service, relationships, spare parts availability, and addressing specific product issues. The overall aim is to increase New Holland's market share in the district, currently at 15%.
