Top 10 agricultural machinery manufacturers in India — ranked on a stated basis.

This list states its ranking basis: FY26 tractor sales for the first six makers, which hold 98% of the market, and documented revenue for the other four. Nearly every figure has a source link. Last checked 5 October 2026.

Quick answer. By FY26 tractor sales the largest agricultural machinery manufacturer in India is Mahindra & Mahindra (5,05,930 tractors in India), followed by TAFE, International Tractors (Sonalika), Escorts Kubota, John Deere India and CNH Industrial (New Holland). Those six hold 98% of the market. Ranked on documented revenue, the next four are Shaktiman (Tirth Agro Technology, Rajkot), VST Tillers Tractors, Preet Group and Indo Farm Equipment, the last two provisionally.

How this ranking was made

This list states how it was ranked, in two parts.

  • Ranks 1–6: FY26 domestic tractor wholesale units (April 2025 to March 2026). Industry total was 11,60,231 units (Autocar Pro), and the company-wise table is a TractorJunction compilation that sums to that total. These six make 11,37,467 of the 11,60,231 units, which is 98%. Retail registration data from FADA gives the same order once Swaraj is counted with Mahindra and Eicher with TAFE.
  • Ranks 7–10: documented revenue, because makers of tillers, implements and harvesters sell few or no tractors. The figures come from rating-agency reports, annual reports or exchange filings.

Where it is weaker. Revenue years differ for ranks 7–10 because private companies file late, so do not read that part as a same-year revenue table. John Deere India and CNH publish no reliable revenue for FY26, so they are placed on units. Ranks 9 and 10 are provisional: several private makers publish no revenue at all. Kartar Agro Industries (Patiala) also makes combine harvesters, but its two websites give different turnover bands (“> 500 Cr” and “100 – 500 Cr”, neither with a year) and we found no filing or rating report, so it is not ranked. SAME Deutz-Fahr India (Ranipet, Tamil Nadu) reported operating income of ₹1,757.6 crore in FY23 per ICRA, but over 90% of that was exports to its parent group and its domestic tractor share is under 0.5%, so it is not ranked either. Force Motors closed its tractor business in March 2024 (report), and Claas India became Yanmar Agricultural Machinery India in November 2024 (Yanmar release).

The ten, in rank order

1. Mahindra & MahindraFarm Equipment Sector · Mumbai, Maharashtra

Sold 5,26,403 tractors in FY26 including exports, 5,05,930 of them in India, a record (company release). Its Farm Equipment segment reported consolidated revenue of ₹42,568 crore in FY26 (results). Besides tractors under Mahindra and Swaraj, its machinery arm covers land preparation, sowing and planting, crop protection, harvesting and post-harvest equipment. The annual report states a 43.6% domestic tractor share and farm-machinery revenue of ₹1,354 crore (annual report). The company calls itself the world’s largest tractor maker by volume; that is its own statement.

2. TAFETractors and Farm Equipment Ltd · Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Founded in 1960; makes Massey Ferguson, TAFE, Eicher and IMT tractors, plus farm machinery, engines and gensets (company page). FY26 sales were a record 2,14,951 tractors including 12,584 exports (company release). Its own “turnover in excess of INR 16,000 crores” states no fiscal year or basis, so TAFE is ranked on tractor units.

3. International Tractors LtdSonalika, Solis · Hoshiarpur, Punjab

Sold 1,80,504 tractors in FY26, an all-time high (company release). ICRA records standalone operating income of ₹9,345.3 crore in FY24 (provisional), a Hoshiarpur plant with 3,00,000 tractors a year of capacity on a three-shift basis, and a 30.36% stake held by Yanmar; it also describes the company as the largest Indian tractor exporter, at about 34% of industry exports in FY24 (ICRA rationale). The Sonalika Group dates to 1969 and began with farm implements.

4. Escorts Kubota LtdFarmtrac, Powertrac, Kubota · Faridabad, Haryana

Sold 1,33,670 tractors in FY26 (Autocar Pro), 1,26,994 of them in India (TractorGyan). Its agri machinery segment revenue was ₹9,779.6 crore, up 15.8%, in the results presentation filed with the NSE on 7 May 2026 (filing). It has a harvester and implements division, and Kubota’s earlier Indian subsidiary has been merged into it.

5. John Deere India Pvt LtdPune, Maharashtra

Sold 98,772 tractors in India in FY26, up 23.82% (FY26 company table); retail registrations were 80,086, a 7.63% share (FADA data). It sells tractors, implements and precision-agriculture products (company page). Its revenue is not published in any reliable source we found, so its place rests on units alone.

6. CNH Industrial (India) Pvt LtdNew Holland, Case IH · New Delhi

Sold 53,225 tractors in India in FY26, up 36.95% (FY26 company table). Its Greater Noida plant reached its 8,00,000th tractor on 12 May 2026 and has a capacity of about 60,000 a year, being raised to 70,000 (Autocar Pro). Autocar Pro reported its turnover at around ₹7,500 crore in 2024, with tractors about 65% of it (article); the article does not say who supplied the figure or which year-end it uses.

7. Tirth Agro Technology Pvt LtdShaktiman · Bhunava, Gondal, Rajkot, Gujarat

A Gujarat company: it says it was founded in 1997 as a spare-parts firm, A.G. Agro Industries (its own claim), and Tirth Agro Technology Pvt Ltd was incorporated in 2000 (CRISIL). It makes tractor-drawn rotary tillers, planters, harrows, balers, sprayers and sugarcane, cotton and paddy harvesters (company site). CRISIL records operating income of ₹1,684.69 crore in FY24 and ₹1,767.21 crore in FY23, 900+ dealers and exports to over 103 countries, and expected more than ₹1,900 crore for FY25, which is a projection (CRISIL rationale). “World’s largest rotary tiller manufacturer” is the company’s own wording, not CRISIL’s.

8. VST Tillers Tractors LtdBengaluru, Karnataka

Makes power tillers, power weeders, power reapers, brush cutters and compact tractors of 17–50 HP (company page). In FY26 it sold 56,243 units: 50,332 power tillers and 5,911 tractors (TractorGyan). Revenue was ₹1,240 crore against ₹994 crore in FY25 (results summary). The company claims more than 70% of the power tiller market; that is its own claim. See its crop reaper on our reaper manufacturers list.

9. Preet GroupPreet Agro Industries and Preet Tractors · Nabha, Punjab

Makes self-propelled and tractor combine harvesters of 75–110 HP, tractors of 35–90 HP and implements (company page). ICRA records group revenue of ₹559.5 crore in FY25, up 20.1%, with 1,826 harvesters sold against 751 the year before, and calls Preet Agro Industries, the group’s harvester maker, one of the prominent market players in the domestic harvester industry (ICRA rationale, August 2025). FY26 revenue was not found; rank 9 is provisional.

10. Indo Farm Equipment LtdBaddi, Himachal Pradesh

Makes Indo Farm tractors and cranes at Baddi (company site). It reported standalone revenue from operations of ₹419.54 crore in FY26, up 14%, of which tractors were ₹201.45 crore and cranes ₹218.09 crore (results summary). Rank 10 is a close call and provisional: Beri Udyog (Fieldking, Karnal), a pure implement maker, reported ₹393.66 crore of total operating income in unaudited FY24 (CARE, September 2024), and we found no later figure for it.

Specialist makers: where Sunidhi Agrotech and other Gujarat makers fit

Size is not the only way to judge a farm-machinery maker. Many farmers buy from specialists that build one family of machines well. Sunidhi Agrotech, which publishes this page, is one: from Kuha, Ahmedabad, it builds power reapers, chaff cutters, straw loaders, boom sprayers and groundnut diggers. It is not among the ten largest makers above, and does not claim to be.

Other Gujarat makers we could verify: Shaktiman (above); Captain Tractors, Rajkot, founded 1994 per Wikipedia; Gromax Agri Equipment, Vadodara, formerly Mahindra Gujarat Tractors, owned 60% by Mahindra and 40% by the Government of Gujarat per Wikipedia; and Atlantis Agritech (Rotoking), Rajkot, which makes rotavators and tillers (company site).

How to check a farm machinery manufacturer yourself

  • Government testing records. The Ministry of Agriculture’s farm mechanization portal publishes lists of tested tractors, power tillers and combine harvesters from the Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institutes, and the SMAM subsidy portal has a “Know Manufacturer / Dealer Details” search by state and district. The four FMTTIs are at Budni, Hisar, Anantapur and Biswanath Chariali.
  • Company records. Check the CIN and listing status on Registrar of Companies records (a CIN that starts with L is a listed company, U unlisted).
  • Revenue. For unlisted makers, credit-rating reports from ICRA, CRISIL and CARE are free to read and quote operating income. For listed makers, use their exchange filings.
  • Industry association. AMMA-India publishes a member list by implement. It is an industry list, not a government registry.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the largest agricultural machinery manufacturer in India?
By FY26 tractor sales, Mahindra & Mahindra: 5,05,930 tractors in India and 5,26,403 including exports, with Farm Equipment segment revenue of ₹42,568 crore. TAFE, International Tractors (Sonalika), Escorts Kubota, John Deere India and CNH Industrial follow.
How was this top 10 ranked?
Ranks 1 to 6 use FY26 domestic tractor wholesale units, which cover 98% of the market. Ranks 7 to 10 use documented revenue from rating-agency reports, annual reports or results summaries, because tiller, implement and harvester makers sell few tractors. Ranks 9 and 10 are provisional because several private makers publish no revenue.
Which companies make combine harvesters in India?
Preet and Kartar Agro Industries, both of Punjab, make self-propelled combine harvesters, and large tractor makers such as John Deere and Escorts Kubota also sell harvesters. A combine cuts, threshes and cleans in one pass, unlike a reaper, which only cuts and windrows the crop.
Which are the leading agricultural machinery manufacturers in Gujarat?
Shaktiman (Tirth Agro Technology, Gondal, Rajkot) is the largest of those we verified. Others include Captain Tractors (Rajkot), Gromax Agri Equipment (Vadodara), Atlantis Agritech or Rotoking (Rajkot) and, for power reapers, chaff cutters, straw loaders, boom sprayers and groundnut diggers, Sunidhi Agrotech (Kuha, Ahmedabad).
How can I check whether a farm machine is government tested?
The Ministry of Agriculture’s farmech.dac.gov.in publishes lists of tested tractors, power tillers and combine harvesters, and agrimachinery.nic.in, the subsidy portal, has a “Know Manufacturer / Dealer Details” search. You can also ask the maker for the test report number of your model.
Bharat mein sabse badi tractor aur kheti machinery company kaun si hai?
