Escorts Kubota Limited’s Agri Machinery Business achieved its highest-ever monthly sales in September 2025, selling 18,267 tractors, marking a 47.6% increase compared to 12,380 units sold in September 2024.
Domestic tractor sales were particularly strong, with 17,803 units sold, reflecting a 48.5% growth year-on-year from 11,985 units in September 2024. The positive trend in the tractor industry was supported by favourable rural conditions, above-normal and well-distributed monsoon rains, improved water reservoir levels, and an early festive season. Additionally, the recent GST rate cut on tractors and farm machinery has boosted market sentiment, encouraging higher sales.
Export sales also grew, reaching 464 tractors in September 2025, up 17.5% from 395 tractors in the same period last year.
Looking at broader trends, from July to September 2025, domestic tractor sales reached 32,329 units, up 30.5%, while exports rose to 1,548 units, a 26.2% increase. In the six-month period from April to September 2025, domestic sales stood at 61,177 units (12.9% growth) and exports totaled 3,281 units, marking an impressive 50% increase compared to the previous year.
