Market share pressure in tractor business
Despite overall volume growth, market share remained flat at 11.28%. Management acknowledged that industry growth in South and West regions, where Escorts has lower presence, could continue to pressure share.
Kubota brand margin pressure due to import dependence
Kubota tractors rely on imported engines, limiting margin improvement. Localization of engines is not viable at current volumes, and new products with local engines are 2 years away.
EV tractor adoption unlikely in near term
Management ruled out launching electric tractors in India due to high battery costs and lack of charging infrastructure, potentially missing out if the market shifts faster than expected.
