Our takeaways: There is an increasing lack of cheap farm labour due to migration to urban areas, leading to more mechanisation. Further, f F h farm i income h has grown at a CAGR of 12 8% d i f 12.8% during l last fi five years. W expect this growth to sustain going We hi h i i forward, which will continue to boost tractor sales. Contrary to popular belief, rainfall does not affect tractor sales directly. Other factors such as higher farm income, availability of water (irrigation facilities), cheaper and more easily available finance, successful implementation of government schemes (NREGA) and higher MSP are the key drivers for growth in tractor sales. We expect tractor demand to grow by 11-12%, going forward. All key drivers are in place and adequate availability of water is expected with a forecast of regular and timely rainfall.
