Highlighting the performance, Hemant Sikka, President – Farm Equipment Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra said, “We have sold 20,121 tractors in the domestic market during February 2024. Southern and western states continue to face agri-stress due to erratic and deficient monsoon. However, the Rabi crop outlook is very good, with the wheat crop likely to be a bumper crop. Harvesting has started in few states with the government supporting early procurement of wheat crop.”
