4. TAFE History

The Amalgamations Group entered the tractor business in 1960. Simpson & Company was
already making Perkins Diesel Engines and the founder chairman of the group,
Mr.Anantharamakrishnan's own great interest in agriculture and the Green Revolution in
making, made the group grab the opportunity to make tractors when it presented itself.
Standard Motor Products of India Limited had been assembling Massey Ferguson tractors in
India for Massey Ferguson India, which was a Bangalore based company handling the entire
MF business in India. Massey Ferguson was looking for a company that would, in a phased
manner, manufacture its tractors in India and successful negotiations with The Amalgamations
Group lead to the group taking over the Bangalore operations and moving it to Chennai, then
Madras. The new company was called Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited.

Harvesters are one of the most valuable pieces of machinery used by farmers
globally. Performing a combination of functions, harvesters are impressive, not

10. AgriStar Implements
While tractorization is restricted to primary and secondary tillage and
substantial use of haulage, and with the cost benefit equation changing with
increase in labour, it is important to provide models of mechanization that are
relevant to small and marginal farms.
With a foresight that moving from tractorization to spearheading mechanization
is the key to improve farm productivity and rein in labour costs, TAFE has
been collaborating with world technology leaders to establish its Applications
Business Unit (ABU) to efficiently answer the emerging needs of the global
farming community.
