Growth momentum continued in May 2026, with healthy performance across wholesale and retail segments. This was supported by favorable farm sentiment, adequate reservoir levels, and sustained rural demand, the company said.

Near-term headwinds include rising input costs, particularly fertilizers, softer prices for select cash crops, and evolving geopolitical developments, which could affect customer affordability and input availability ahead of the Kharif season, it added.

While emerging El Niño conditions may influence rainfall distribution, strong reservoir levels and resilient underlying demand provide a supportive base. Overall rural fundamentals remain resilient. Monsoon progression and input cost trends remain key monitorables, the company noted.

Export tractor sales in May 2026 were at 423 tractors as against 651 tractors sold in May 2025.
