Why This Matters for Indian Farmers

The launch of the Montra E-27 addresses critical issues in Indian agriculture: Noise Pollution and Fuel Costs. The "Silent" operation protects farmers from long-term hearing damage and vibration fatigue, while the electric powertrain insulates them from volatile diesel prices.

With its entry into North India, Montra is targeting the heartland of Indian agriculture, challenging established diesel players in the compact tractor segment.
