Evolution of Tractors in India The very rst tractors in India were imported by the British government in 1914 for the purpose of clearing bushes and shrubs from degraded forest areas and to use this cleared land for agricultural purposes. While these imported tractors were mainly used in governmental farming operations, they were also made available for hire to landowners that could afford them. By 1930, while the use of tractors in farming still remained limited, an indigenous industry of manufacturing tractor spare parts and engines sprang up in India. www.khetigaadi.com
After India became independent in 1947, the Indian government placed great emphasis on reforming and modernizing the agricultural sector to pave the way towards food self-sufciency. More land was brought under agricultural cultivation and more tractors were imported to speed up this task. These tractors were rigorously studied by Indian manufacturers, already well-versed in producing tractor parts & engines, and modied to suit Indian conditions, and, in 1961, Indian manufacturers began bringing out the rst Indian-made tractors. Five major tractor producers: Eicher Motors, Gujarat Tractors, TAFE Ltd., Escorts Tractors Ltd., Mahindra & Mahindra. Domestic tractor production increased in the next ten years, but tractors still continued to be imported from the former Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, the UK, and other countries www.khetigaadi.com
Tractor Market in India Indian is one of the largest producers of tractors in the world, manufacturing around 660,000 units per year. The main centers of tractor production are in the states of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, and the top domestic markets are in Maharashtra, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh. Indian tractors are also exported to other countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. www.khetigaadi.com
Types and Uses of Tractors The most commonly used tractors in Indian are four-wheeled, 31 HP to 40 HP tractors. These can be put to multiple agricultural uses, & aside from their price, this is the main consideration that farmers make in their purchase. Aside from their use in farms, orchards, and gardens, these tractors can also be used to haul produce, goods, equipment, and any other loads from one destination to another. To be able to drive the tractors on roads though, it is necessary for farmers to register them with the transportation department rst. www.khetigaadi.com
Current Scenario Indian farmers have become more aware of the benets of farm mechanization and the role of the tractor in reducing farm labour drudgery, making multiple crops possible in a single year, speeding up farm operations, and reducing overall farm expenses. Government funding and subsidies, as well as the availability of nearly 95% credit from commercial banks, state land development banks, regional rural banks, and other nancial institutions, have made it possible for a growing number of farmers with small-sized and medium-sized landholdings to purchase tractors. With the problem of rising labour scarcity due to increased migration to urban areas, better work opportunities in other sectors, and government employment schemes, having a tractor has become more or less of a necessity for many farmers. Without it, they wouldn’t have sufcient manpower to complete all the essential farming tasks. www.khetigaadi.com
Future Industry Growth The future of the agricultural machinery market in India will continue to be inuenced by the developments in the agricultural sector and vice versa. According to a report titled “Agricultural Machinery Market in India 2017”, published by Netscribes (India) Pvt. Ltd on the Research and Markets website, the projected growth of the Indian agricultural machinery market by 2022 is expected to reach 769.2 billion rupees. Also expected is an increased demand for more technologically advanced tractors with autonomous features, sensors, air-conditioned cabins, climate- controlled cabins, Internet connectivity, data collecting abilities, and several other capabilities.
