Mint Kolkata
|December 29, 2025
The government has brought in new testing standards for electric farm tractors, aiming to create a uniform framework to assess their safety, reliability and performance as the machines slowly gain traction in India's agricultural sector, the ministry of consumer affairs said.
"The new standard lays down structured and uniform testing procedures covering key performance parameters such as power takeoff output, drawbar power, belt and pulley performance, vibration levels, specification verification and inspection of major components and assemblies," the ministry said in a statement.
