Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.'s Farm Equipment Sector (FES), a part of the USD 20.7 billion Mahindra Group, today announced its tractor sales numbers for February 2019.

Domestic sales in February 2019 were at 18,105 units, as against 19,442 units during February 2018. Total tractor sales (domestic + exports) during February 2019 were at 18,978 units, as against 20,658 units for the same period last year. Exports for the month stood at 873 units.

The tractor industry has remained subdued in February.

In the exports market, we sold 873 tractors."
