India has remained above the one-million-unit mark in combined domestic and export sales throughout the current decade.

Government incentives and favorable agricultural conditions supported demand
India’s tractor market continued to outperform most global markets despite weaker conditions across several major agricultural economies.
The strong performance was supported by government incentive programs, financing availability and favorable weather conditions that contributed to stronger agricultural production during the year.
The Indian market also reflects the country’s unique farm structure, where compact and medium-horsepower tractors dominate demand across millions of small and mid-sized farming operations.
Production also reached a historic high
Alongside record domestic sales, India also posted an all-time high in tractor production.
Total output reached 1,151,273 units in 2025, up 17.2% from 982,146 units produced in 2024.
The result surpassed the previous production record set in 2021, when Indian factories assembled 1,065,280 tractors.
