Tractor Sales Momentum Continues

The company sold a total of 12,310 tractors, marking a substantial 18.9% growth compared to the 10,354 tractors sold in May 2025.

Domestic and Export Performance
Domestic tractor sales were particularly strong, with 11,887 units sold in May 2026, an increase of 22.5% over the 9,703 units sold in May 2025. This growth was fueled by a favorable farm sentiment, adequate reservoir levels, and sustained rural demand. While export tractor sales saw a decrease of 35.0%, with 423 units sold against 651 in the previous year, the overall domestic performance significantly offset this.
