Escorts Kubota Reviews US Tractor Exports After India–US Trade Deal

Escorts Kubota Limited is reviewing plans to export tractors to the United States after the India–US interim trade deal. The company sees a fresh chance to enter the American market as tariff rules change.
Company Sees Opening in the US
Bharat Madan, Whole-Time Director and CFO, said the company is not exporting tractors to the US at present. However, the new tariff situation may create space to restart shipments. Right now, Kubota Corporation exports tractors to the US from Japan. Japan faces a 15% tariff, while India has an 18% tariff. The gap is small, which could make exports from India possible if costs are managed well. Madan said producing tractors in India and exporting them could also benefit the parent company.
India as a Growth Hub by 2030
Under its 2030 mid-term plan, Kubota has named India as a key growth market. The company aims to use India as a hub for research and development, sourcing, and production. It also plans to improve cost control and strengthen supply chains across its global business.

Little Impact from India–EU Trade Deal
On the India–EU free trade agreement, Madan said there may not be much change for tractors. Import duty on tractors in Europe is already zero. Escorts Kubota already exports tractors to Europe, and shipments from India to the EU remain strong.
