2. INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO Indian Economy Outlook

India''s economic performance in FY25 has demonstrated resilience amid global uncertainties, with real GDP growth estimated between 6.3% and 6.5%. This steady growth trajectory is underpinned by robust domestic demand, strategic public investments, and a rebound in key sectors.

Deloitte''s May 2025 outlook projects India''s GDP growth in the range of 6.3% to 6.5% for FY25, with expectations of 6.5% to 6.7% for FY26. This optimistic forecast is attributed to tax incentives boosting consumer spending and strong domestic demand. However, potential headwinds include global trade uncertainties and the impact of international tariff regimes.

EY''s assessment aligns with this outlook, projecting India''s real GDP growth at 6.4% for FY25 and 6.5% for FY26. The firm emphasizes the importance of well-calibrated fiscal strategies that support human capital development while maintaining fiscal prudence to enhance long-term growth prospects.

On the supply side, the agriculture sector is projected to grow by 3.8%, bolstered by favorable monsoon conditions and enhanced productivity in horticulture, livestock, and fisheries. The industrial sector is expected to expand by 6.2%, supported by growth in construction activities and utilities. The services sector continues to be a significant contributor, maintaining its upward trajectory.

Indian Auto-Components Industry

Amid speculation about a possible 25 per cent tariff imposition on imports by the US, the Indian automotive component industry is expected to maintain a steady growth trajectory and expand by 8-10 per cent in FY26. The sector, which saw a 14 per cent growth in FY24, is projected to witness a more moderate expansion of 7-9 per cent in FY25.

Credit rating agency ICRA forecasts that this growth will be driven by strong export performance, increasing localization of electric vehicle (EV) components, and rising demand in the aftermarket.

The auto component sector will incur capital expenditure (capex) of Rs 25,000-30,000 crore in FY26, focusing on capacity expansion, localization, and technological advancements, including EV components, ICRA estimates.

Demand from domestic Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), which contribute over half of the industryâs revenue, is expected to grow, aided by premiumisation and higher value addition. The replacement market is also set to grow by 5-7 per cent in FY25 and 7-9 per cent in FY26, fuelled by an increase in vehicle age, the rising popularity of used cars, and preventive maintenance trends.

Indian Agricultural Tractor Market

The Indian agricultural tractor market is a large and growing sector, driven by the country''s predominantly agrarian economy and increasing mechanization of farming practices. The market is expected to reach a value of USD 15.3 billion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. Key factors contributing to this growth include government initiatives to boost agricultural productivity, rising rural incomes, and the increasing use of tractors for non-agricultural purposes like construction and transport.

The market is dominated by Indian OEMs like Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, TAFE, International Tractors Ltd (Sonalika), and Escorts Limited. International players like Deere & Company and CNH also have a notable presence. Government initiatives, including subsidies and support for farm mechanization, contribute to market growth.

The industry is experiencing significant capital investments in manufacturing infrastructure, reflecting confidence in the market''s growth potential. Major manufacturers are expanding their production facilities to meet the growing demand and incorporate advanced manufacturing technologies. In March 2024, Sonalika Tractors invested in two new plants in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, including a tractor assembly facility and a high-pressure foundry plant. Similarly, Escorts Kubota Ltd announced plans to invest approximately Rs 4,500 crore in a new manufacturing plant in Rajasthan, aiming to double their domestic tractor production capacity to 3.4 lakh units annually. These investments underscore the industry''s commitment to enhancing production capabilities and maintaining technological leadership in the global market.

Agricultural Tractors Market Outlooks

Industry poised to farm significant growth in CY2025. Having closed CY2024 with a strong performance in December (99,292 units, up 25.7% YoY), the Indian tractor industry has entered CY2025 on a bullish note. According to Hemant Sikka, President - Farm Equipment Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra, âSentiments have remained positive in December on account of positive cash flow momentum from the kharif harvest. Additionally, favorable reservoir levels have resulted in strong sowing for the rabi season, further bolstering

demand for tractors. Looking ahead, the tractor industry is poised for significant growth, underpinned by positive agricultural sentiments and favorable terms of trade for farmers.â

FADA too is optimistic about growth this year and states that dealers across vehicle categories sense resurgence in market confidence, fuelled by improved rural liquidity, evolving government policies and a wave of new product launches. Despite financing headwinds and heightened competition, many retailers believe that focused marketing strategies, robust supply chains and better alignment with customer preferences will create a foundation for sustained expansion.

2. INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO

The Indian tractor industry stands as a significant pillar in die countty''s agricultural landscape, poised for steady growth and innovation in the coming years. With a robust market estimation of USD 2.37 billion in 2024, expected to climb to USD 3.13 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 5.80%, the sector is witnessing positive fiends driven by various factors. The demand surge for agricultural machinery, particularly tractors, can be attributed to several stimuli such as higher Kharif sowing, favorable monsoon conditions, increased rural spending by the government, and exemptions fr om lockdown restrictions.

The tractor industry has ended the fiscal FY24 with an 8 per cent decline in domestic sales after reporting peak volumes in the previous fiscal. Though tractor exports fell 22 per cent in FY24, the March quarter signalled a rebound with positive growth in shipments.[Source](https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/agri-business/domestic-tractor-sales-fall-8-in-fy24-on-el-nino-impact/article68058563.ece). ICRA estimates the industry volumes to grow at a modest pace in FY2025, aided by expectation of an above normal monsoon and consequent favourable impact of the same on farm cash flows.

India''s tractor market, one of the largest globally, witnesses dominance by indigenous OEMs like Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, TAFE, International Tractors Ltd (Sonalika), and Escorts Limited, although international players like Deere & Company and CNH have also established a significant presence.

The trend of custom hiring of tractors is gaining momentum, with various stakeholders, including government agencies and local entrepreneurs, contributing to its proliferation. States like Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan have witnessed significant strides in the establishment of custom hiring centers, enabling farmers to access machinery efficiently.

Government initiatives play a pivotal role in propelling market growth, with subsidies and support programs aimed at rural development and farm mechanization. Schemes like subsidies for purchasing tractors below 18 HP and subsidy for promoting agricultural mechanization, including 25% of the cost limited to INR 30,000 for buying tractors of up to 35 PTO HPunderscore the government''s commitment to enhancing agricultural practices. Moreover, easy credit availability, coupled with favorable loan schemes and low-interest rates, huffier incentivize farmers to invest in mechanization.

The fixture trajectory of the Indian tractor industry seems promising, driven by technological advancements and a concerted focus on farm mechanization. While challenges such as fluctuations in rural demand and adverse weather conditions persist, initiatives like the introduction of automation technologies and the expansion of farm machinery manufacturing plants augur well for the sector''s growth. By harnessing innovation, embracing mechanization, and leveraging government support, the Indian tractor industry is poised to play a pivotal role in transforming farming practices and enhancing agricultural productivity in the years ahead.

2. INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO

The Indian tractor industry is one of the largest in the world, with India being the largest tractor market globally. The industry has grown significantly in recent years, driven by increasing demand from both the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. The India tractor market size was valued at $7,540.8 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $12,700.8 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 7.9% from 2021 to 2030. The COVID-19 outbreak had a positive impact on the growth of the India tractor industry owing to increase in demand for agricultural produces such as cereals, vegetables, and fruits in the country.

The Indian tractor industry smashed a couple of records in FY23 - producing over a million units for the first time ever and also achieving their highest ever domestic sales. FY23 saw 12% growth in domestic tractor volumes, with 945,311 units compared to 842,266 in FY22, according to Tractor & Mechanization Association (TMA).

In FY23, the total tractor production in the country stood at 1,071,310 (9.61 lakh in FY22 and 9.65 lakh in FY21). After witnessing buoyant demand in FY22, exports moderated during FY23 and reported a marginal decline to 124,542 units compared with 128,636 units in the previous fiscal.

The Indian Automobile industry is expected to reach a turnover of approximately $300 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 15% from its current revenue of around $74 billion.

The expansion of the e-commerce business is boosting the requirement for logistics services and is contributing to the growth of the tow tractor market. Moreover, tow tractors are increasingly gaining momentum in the manufacturing industry for several purposes. And retailers are investing a significant amount in tow tractors to enhance the logistics activities and make their work a little easier as these tractors are easy to handle and require less maintenance.

The cyclical pattern of the agricultural industry is a major challenge impeding the market growth. The natural phenomenon of seasonal agricultural cycles leads to the seasonal availability of disposable income for farmers. This impacts their purchasing power, thus leading to seasonal purchases of agricultural equipment like tractors. This pattern is affected by various factors, including environmental conditions like rain forecasts and financial resources available for farmers, including the availability of credit facilities, government support in the form of subsidies, and the availability of automatized farming equipment at the disposal of farmers. This instability in agricultural patterns directly affects the sales of automatic farming equipment.

The Government of India encourages foreign investment in the automobile sector and has allowed 100% FDI under the automatic route. The governmentâs Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2016-26 will help the automotive industry grow and will benefit the economy in the following ways:

â¢ The auto industryâs GDP contribution will rise to over 12%.

â¢ Additional ~65 million direct and indirect jobs will be created.

â¢ End-of-life policy will be implemented for old vehicles.
