Tractor Industry Growth Expected to Moderate to 1-4% in FY27 Amid Weak Monsoon Forecast
The tractor industry in India is expected to see volume growth moderate to 1-4% in fiscal year 2027, following a strong 23.5% rise in FY26. This slowdown is attributed to a high base effect and forecasts of below-normal monsoon rainfall due to anticipated El Niño conditions, which may reduce kharif crop production and farm incomes. June 2026 sales showed growth supported by steady farm cash flows and GST cuts, but prolonged rainfall deficits and lower kharif acreage pose risks to tractor demand and industry growth for the remainder of the year.
