Pithampur, November 15, 2022: Mahindra & Mahindra Farm Equipment Sector (FES), a part of the Mahindra Group, today formally inaugurated its first dedicated farm machinery plant (non-tractor) in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh.

The new plant was inaugurated by Honourable Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Government of India, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, at an event attended by key state officials, dignitaries, and senior leaders from Mahindra & Mahindra.

Mahindra’s new farm machinery plant is strategically situated in the industrial city of Pithampur with access to a diverse supplier base, enabling the company to manufacture durable, high-quality, affordable, and accessible ‘Made in India, for Indian farm machinery, marketed under both the Mahindra and Swaraj brands. The plant will also manufacture products for export to global markets in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

With its well-planned layout, the new plant is capable of rolling out a series of new products designed at Mahindra’s global technology Centres of Excellence in Finland, Japan and Turkey. The new plant is spread over 23 acres and has a capacity to manufacture 1,200 combine harvesters and 3,300 rice transplanters per year. The Pithampur plant, along with its dedicated supplier park, is expected to eventually employ 1,100 people.

Speaking at the launch event of the new farm machinery plant, Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Rural welfare, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar said, “It gives me immense pleasure to be here at the launch of this one-of-a-kind facility for farm machinery in Madhya Pradesh, set up by the Mahindra Group. Mahindra has one of the most notable investments in the state, providing mass direct and indirect employment in the region. Today, the Group is further enhancing its investment with the launch of its all-new greenfield facility to manufacture ‘Made in India’ farm machinery in Pithampur. This a milestone moment not just for the Mahindra group, but also for the country and our farmers.”

He further added, “Globally, mechanisation has been one of the key components of high agricultural growth and higher food security, with several studies suggesting a direct relationship between increased yields and farm mechanisation. With our ambition of doubling farm mechanisation in India by 2030, the Government of India has introduced several schemes and policies to support greater mechanisation of Indian agriculture, and bringing Aatmanirbarta into farm mechanisation is one of them.”

Hemant Sikka, President, Farm Equipment Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, said, “Mahindra has been the leader in the tractorisation of India for several decades and is now determined to be a leader in mechanisation of farming. We aim to grow our farm machinery business by 10x in 5 years, and the new farm machinery plant in Pithampur is a key pillar in the execution of this strategy.”
