Introduction: A Big Step Toward Greener Agriculture

India’s farming sector is entering a new age of innovation as Montra Electric, the clean mobility brand of the Murugappa Group, expands its presence into the northern markets with the launch of the Montra Electric E-27 - India’s first ARAI-certified electric tractor.

The grand introduction took place at the EIMA Agrimach India 2025, one of the country’s most prestigious farm mechanization exhibitions, marking a major milestone in the shift toward clean, efficient, technology-driven agriculture.

E-27: Built for Performance, Efficiency, and the Future

Engineered for modern Indian farming, the E-27 packs powerful capabilities that match - and often exceed — traditional diesel tractors.

Key Performance Features

From plowing and tilling to spraying and haulage, the E-27 delivers consistent, dependable performance across soil types.

A Big Win for Farmers: Save Up to ₹10 Lakh in 5 years

One of the strongest reasons behind the rising demand for electric tractors is their economic advantage. Compared to diesel models, the E-27 offers:

• Up to 70% lower operating costs
  
  

• No diesel expenditure
  
  

• Significantly reduced maintenance
  
  

Farmers can save nearly ₹10 lakh over five years, making the E-27 an economically smart investment for long-term sustainability and profit.

Comfort and Health: Farming Made Smoother and Quieter

With almost no vibration and very low noise, the E-27 dramatically improves operator comfort.

This means:

• Less fatigue during long hours
  
  

• Better focus in the field
  
  

• Improved long-term health for tractor operators
  
  

For India’s large agricultural workforce, this upgrade in comfort is both meaningful and necessary.

A Strong Step Toward India’s Green Mobility Goals

Speaking about the launch, Harish Prasad, CEO of Montra Electric Tractors, described the expansion as a “pivotal milestone” in India’s journey toward clean mobility and sustainable agriculture.

Since agriculture uses the highest number of tractors in the country, electrification plays a critical role in reducing emissions on a large scale. The E-27 reflects Montra Electric’s mission of building clean, accessible, and future-ready mobility solutions for Indian farmlands.

Availability and Pricing

The Montra Electric E-27 is now available across 17 dealerships in 10 states, with prices starting at ₹10.75 lakh (Ex-showroom).

This strategic expansion strengthens Montra Electric’s position in the electric commercial vehicle market, further accelerating India’s shift toward greener and smarter farming practices.
