India’s No. 1 tractor export brand, Sonalika Tractors, has made a strong start to FY’27 by registering its highest-ever overall sales for the month of May at 17,204 tractors, achieving an impressive 21 per cent growth and outperforming the industry.

The latest milestone reflects Sonalika’s sustained focus on empowering farmers with its “Jeetne Ka Dum” philosophy and reinforces the company’s growing role in advancing agricultural mechanisation across India. In preparation for the upcoming Kharif season, the company also recorded its highest-ever monthly production of 17,029 tractors, ensuring timely availability of advanced farm machinery to meet rising demand.

While the monsoon continues to be a key driver of agricultural activity, Indian farmers are increasingly relying on enhanced irrigation facilities and technologically advanced equipment to improve productivity and crop management. Capitalising on this shift, Sonalika is strengthening its position with a portfolio of powerful, future-ready tractors engineered at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, recognised as the world’s No. 1 tractor plant.

The company’s expanding rural footprint and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction have further cemented its reputation as a trusted partner in India’s agricultural growth story.

Sharing his thoughts on the achievement, Raman Mittal, Joint Managing Director, International Tractors Limited, said, “We are elated to have clocked our highest ever May overall sales of 17,204 tractors driven by overall 21 per cent growth that beats the industry performance. It is a bold signal that Indian farmers have already begun their ambitious preparation for the Kharif season and are choosing mechanisation with greater confidence. Alongside, we have also clocked the highest ever monthly production of 17,029 tractors to meet the farmers' needs.

Beyond the numbers, what inspires us the most is the enduring spirit of Indian agriculture where every season begins with a belief that tomorrow's harvest shall be better than today and that the growth is always possible. We have always believed that lasting progress is built patiently through consistency, resilience and remain committed to put more power in the hands of farmers. At ITL, this is our greatest strength and enables us to challenge conventions and set new benchmarks with the spirit of 'Jeetne Ka Dum.'”
