Tractor Industry Growth Expected to Moderate to 1-4% in FY27: Icra
The tractor industry's volume growth is projected to moderate to 1-4% in fiscal year 2027, following a strong 23.5% increase in FY26, according to ratings agency Icra. This slowdown is attributed to a high base effect and a forecast of below-normal monsoon rainfall linked to El Nino conditions, which may impact kharif crop production and farm incomes. Despite these challenges, tractor manufacturers are expected to maintain healthy profit margins, supported by steady farm cash flows and government subsidies.
