Industry Outlook
The tractor industry maintained its growth momentum, driven by favorable rural conditions, well-distributed monsoon rains, improved water reservoir levels, and an early festive season. A recent GST rate cut on tractors and farm machinery has further boosted sentiments. The CE industry has been facing challenges, and early signs of recovery are visible, with expectations of a rebound in the latter half of the fiscal year.
