Growing mechanization, optimal crop conditions, and acceptance of modern ag-tech solutions are supporting the Indian harvester market’s strong upward momentum in May 2025. Statistics, published by trade platform TractorGyan confirm this trend.
In May 2025, the Indian harvester market grew 51.55% from May 2024 by selling a total of 1,364 units. This increase shows farmers’ increasing dependence on mechanical solutions.
Selling 269 units, Kartar Harvesters once more took first place in May 2025. However, its market share decreased by 1.95% and its sales increased by 74 units compared to May 2024, implying increasing competition from other newly developing companies. With 180 units sold in May 2025, Vishal ranked second, considering the whole market, and has maintained its performance at 13.20% of the market share.
Selling 151 units in May 2025, Preet maintained its upward trend and landed in third position with a market share of 11.07%. Malkit is in the 4th position with a market share of 8.87% in May 2025. Dasmesh, with sales of 83 units, showed a remarkable increase, therefore adding 6.09% to the total market share.
Compared to last year, the total harvester sales from April 2025 to May 2025 totaled 2,712 units. This data shows a good response to the market and increasing mechanization in Indian farming.
Selling 505 units, Kartar became the YTD leader, reflecting a rise of 66.67% from last year. Vishal sold 414 units and ranked second in the market. Though its market share fell by 1.73%, the brand continues to be a regular performer in certain states.
While Preet and Malkit closely followed with 273 and 235 units sold, respectively, Preet occupied the 3rd position with a 10.07% market share, while Malkit had an increased market share of 2.09% from April 2024 to May 2024. John Deere attained the 5th spot with YTD sales of 173 units and a market share of 6.38%.
With companies like Kartar, Vishal, and Preet guiding the charge, May 2025 has strengthened the development narrative of the Indian harvester sector. Demand for mechanized farming keeps rising. Hence, brand competition should become fiercer in the next months.
