India's Tractor Demand Rises Amid Labour Shortage; Growth Expected to Moderate in FY27
India's tractor industry saw strong growth in early FY27, with retail registrations rising nearly 25% year-on-year from April to July, driven by a structural shift toward mechanisation amid farm labour shortages. Despite concerns over a weak monsoon and El Niño conditions, improved rainfall and government support have helped sustain farm incomes. However, rating agency ICRA projects overall tractor volume growth to moderate to 1-4% for the full fiscal due to a high base and monsoon uncertainties.
