Escorts’ Agri Machinery Segment (EAM) has sold 6,979 tractors in April 2021 registering a growth of 889.9 percent as against 705 tractors sold in April 2020.
Domestic tractor sales in April 2021 were at 6,386 tractors registering a growth of 941.8 percent against 613 tractors in April 2020. The demand in April last year was drastically impacted by Covid-19 national lockdown; so was it in April 2021 although not to the same extent. This time around supply chain had minimal impact from local restrictions owing to the second wave of Covid-19. This enabled the Company to build some inventory in anticipation of some pent-up demand as the pandemic situation improves. The medium-term macroeconomic factors remain positive on account of record rabi harvest, sustained crop prices, and good prediction of monsoons this year. Inflation continues unabated and remains a worry.
