Escorts Kubota recorded modest sales growth in August 2024, driven by strong exports and positive prospects for the rabi season.
Escorts Kubota Limited, a prominent name in the tractor industry, released its sales report for August 2024, showing steady performance. The Agri Machinery Business Division of the company recorded a total sale of 5,614 tractors in August 2024.

In the domestic market, Escorts Kubota sold 5,205 tractors in August 2024, which is a minor increase of 0.1% compared to the 5,198 tractors sold in August 2023. While the growth may seem small, it signals the company's steady hold in the domestic sector. Favorable monsoon conditions, along with rising water levels, have sparked optimism for the upcoming rabi season. Moreover, government initiatives supporting the agricultural sector are expected to boost demand, especially during the festive season.
