Overview
 
For over two decades now, Mahindra Tractors has been the undisputed leader of the world's largest tractor market-India. Mahindra's journey in tractors began as a joint venture with International Harvester and with that began a new era in power, control and reliability in farm equipment manufacturing. Today, with the largest manufacturing set up in India, Mahindra Tractors is among the top three players in the global market having a product range from 15 hp to 125 hp.
 
The Farm Division (FD) has six state-of-the-art manufacturing plants (including two plants of Swaraj) in India, two plants in China, three assembly plants in USA and one assembly plant in Australia. FD has its presence in around 25 countries across six continents with more than 1,000 dealers world-wide. .
Mahindra acquired Punjab Tractors Limited in 2008 to form the Swaraj Division. The combination of Swaraj's longstanding reputation with Mahindra's cutting edge design and manufacturing has made Swaraj a leader.
