The tractor industry appears to have withstood the COVID-19 onslaught. Considered a barometer for the state of the rural economy in India, this segment has been doing relatively well during long days of lockdown which hit hard many industries.
In April 2021, according to Tractor Junction – a digital marketplace for tractors and other farm equipment – 63,447 units have been sold in the domestic market in April 2021.
In the corresponding period last year, during the nationwide lockdown in April 2020, this figure was 11,827 units, added Tractor Junction.
