Gromax Agri Equipment Ltd., a joint venture between Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and the Government of Gujarat, has announced the launch of eight new tractors spanning both 4WD and 2WD categories, with a flagship introduction of India’s first factory-fitted cabin tractor in the under-50 horsepower segment.
The new lineup, marketed under the Trakstar brand, is designed to address various agricultural applications including orchard cultivation, areca-nut farming, inter-cultivation, puddling, and haulage operations. According to the company, the tractors feature diesel engines and gearbox technology aimed at operational efficiency.
The Trakstar Kavach series represents the company’s entry into the factory-fitted cabin segment for tractors below 50 HP. The initial rollout includes non-air-conditioned variants, with air-conditioned models planned for a subsequent phase. The cabin feature is positioned as a solution for year-round farming operations, offering protection from weather conditions.
The Kavach series includes the Trakstar 545 4WD and Trakstar 550 4WD models, designed for haulage and general agricultural tasks.
Additional Models
The remaining six tractors cater to specific farming requirements:
The Trakstar 525 4WD NT, a 25 HP model, features a 33-inch track width designed for inter-cultivation in narrow rows. A 2WD variant in the same horsepower category targets orchard farming applications.
In the 40 HP segment, the company has launched the Trakstar 540 HT for haulage and puddling tasks, along with the Trakstar 540 Orchard, which the company describes as India’s first 40 HP tractor specifically engineered for areca-nut cultivation.
The 50 HP category includes the Trakstar 550 4WD and Trakstar 550 HT, both designed for heavy-duty agricultural applications including potato farming and multi-utility operations.
The tractors will be available through Gromax dealerships beginning October 2025. The company is offering consumer incentives and gifts during the festive season across nine states: Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.
Veejay Nakra, President of Farm Equipment Business at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., stated that the launch aims to provide farmers with products that balance value, performance, and affordability.
The launch coincides with the company’s second campaign under its “Sabse Sahi Chunaav” marketing initiative.
