Sonalika Tractors, India’s No. 1 tractor export brand, has achieved a record milestone by crossing 1 lakh tractor sales year-to-date in the first six months of FY27, from April to September 2026. The achievement comes in the company’s 30th anniversary year and marks a significant acceleration in its sales performance, with Sonalika achieving in six months a volume that took an entire year to reach eight years ago.
The milestone reflects the company’s focus on strengthening its tractor portfolio, engaging closely with farmers, improving production planning and coordinating its dealer network to meet market demand. Continued enhancements across Sonalika’s tractor range have supported the brand’s efforts to provide performance-oriented products for diverse farming requirements.
Sonalika’s growth journey has been driven by its philosophy of ‘Khud Se Jeetne Ka DUM’, which encourages farmers to challenge their own benchmarks and pursue higher levels of productivity. The same approach has shaped the company’s own growth trajectory, taking it from annual sales of 50,000 tractors to 1 lakh tractors and now achieving the same milestone within six months.
As India enters the peak festive season, Sonalika has strengthened product availability to respond to anticipated demand. The company has recorded its highest-ever monthly production of 19,000 tractors at its integrated manufacturing facility in Hoshiarpur, Punjab. Its dealer network has also been aligned to improve product availability and respond more quickly to customer requirements during the upcoming season.
Raman Mittal, Joint Managing Director, International Tractors Limited, said, “The biggest sign of progress is when we surpass ourselves. That is the spirit behind our ‘Khud Se Jeetne Ka DUM’ — the courage, the fire and the restlessness to keep pushing beyond what we have already achieved. When we crossed 50,000 annual tractor sales, our hunger was to reach 1,00,000 annual tractor sales. When we reached 1,00,000, we challenged ourselves again: could we achieve it in half the time of six months instead? Today, we have answered that ambition with our fastest-ever performance.”
He added that the achievement reflected the collective efforts of employees, channel partners and farmers associated with the brand. The company said the milestone would serve as a new benchmark as it continues to pursue higher levels of scale and performance.
Founded in 1996, Sonalika Tractors has established a presence across more than 150 countries. The company operates an integrated tractor manufacturing facility in Hoshiarpur, producing tractors for varied agricultural applications and operating conditions.
Sonalika is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, marking three decades of operations focused on farm mechanisation, farmer empowerment and rural development. The brand has also introduced price transparency in the tractor industry by publicly sharing tractor prices and service costs on its website.
