Mahindra has recorded 12.36 per cent growth in domestic market.

Hemant Sikka, President , Farm Equipment Sector- Mahindra said, “We have sold 26130 tractors in the domestic market during April 2021 with a growth of 454 per cent over last year. High growth witnessed in April 2021 is due to low base due to nationwide lockdowns in April last year. There have been disruptions in supply chain due to localised lock downs and availability of oxygen along with dealerships in few states getting closed impacting demand momentum. All agri related undamentals continue to remain strong, with bumper rabi crop harvest and forecast of a normal monsoon. We expect that tractor demand will bounce back as farmers start preparing their land for Kharif crops in the ensuing weeks. We continue to monitor evolving Covid situation across the states with key focus on safety of our people and partners. In the exports markets, we have sold 1393 tractors, a growth of 2388 per cent over last year and have a strong order book.”
