Beyond Tractors: How Electrification Is Reshaping Farm Mechanisation

Beyond Tractors: How Electrification Is Reshaping Farm Mechanisation

India had its best year ever for selling tractors.

Lots of farmers bought tractors.

But most farms in India are very small.

Big tractors are not useful on tiny plots of land.

Because of this, small machines like weeders and tillers are becoming more popular.

These small machines are also starting to run on batteries instead of diesel.

Electric motors are great for this because they give strong power right away and make less noise.

There are no electric combines yet because big machines need too much battery power.

The government is helping by lowering taxes and setting up hiring centres.

The future of farming in India is not just about tractors.
