Tractor sales may fall up to 10% as drought hits farm sentiment

Tractor sales are projected to fall by up to 10% year-on-year, with dealers in some markets also reporting sharp drops in entry-level car and two-wheeler sales. Deficient monsoon rain, drought in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, and rising commodity prices have hurt farmer sentiment. The decline comes against a high base after record FY26 dispatches.
