Mahindra is showcasing a range of alternative fuel tractors as a step towards cleaner, sustainable farming solutions

Mahindra & Mahindra showcased a range of alternative fuel tractors and technologies at Agrovision 2025 in Nagpur on Sunday. The tractors, powered by alternative fuel technologies, have been developed at Mahindra Research Valley (MRV), Chennai. Mahindra, the world’s largest tractor manufacturer by volume, showcased a new CNG/CBG tractor, an Ethanol Flex Fuel tractor engine and an electric tractor at the event, demonstrating its commitment to leading “India’s shift towards alternative fuel technologies and driving cleaner, smarter and sustainable agricultural solutions,” as said by Veejay Nakra – President, Farm Equipment Business.

Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Minister of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare and Rural Development were present at the event.

“Our presence at Agrovision 2025 underlines this commitment as we showcase innovative tractors and technologies that will shape the future of Indian agriculture, in line with the Indian government’s vision to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2070,” said Nakra.

Mahindra has built the electric tractor on its global lightweight tractor platform, the Mahindra OJA. It aims to reduce operating costs and provides better torque delivery with overall efficiency across multiple applications, along with a fast charging option. The CNG/CBG tractor offers the flexibility to run on compressed natural gas (CNG), compressed biogas (CBG) and dual-fuel (diesel-CNG).

Mahindra’s Flex Fuel Engine can run on ethanol sourced from multiple sources such as sugarcane, maize, maize husks, plant stubble, crop waste and other on-farm sources. In recent years, the leading tractor manufacturer has showcased a range of alternative fuel tractor technologies such as CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) tractor, CBG (Compressed Biogas) tractor and other breakthrough clean technologies to reduce emissions and lower operating costs for farmers in India and the world. The company also showcased an extensive range of reliable, powerful and economical diesel-powered 2WD and 4WD tractors and agricultural implements, from both Mahindra and Swaraj brands.
