Electric tractor sales have remained negligible even in states such as Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Telangana, which offer incentives like direct subsidies, road and registration tax waivers, and manufacturing benefits.
Haryana offers a ₹5 lakh subsidy on e-tractors in its 2022 EV policy, yet only one unit has been sold in FY26. In Maharashtra, where the prices of e-tractors and other integrated harvesting machines are cut by 10%, only 11 units have been sold in this fiscal.
