Escorts Kubota's Mixed June: Tractor Sales Up, CE Faces Headwinds
Hey there, finance friends! 👋 Let’s dive into the latest business update from Escorts Kubota Limited (ESCORTS) for June 2025. It looks like a bit of a mixed bag, with their agricultural machinery shining while the construction equipment segment faced some headwinds.
Tractors: Driving Forward! 🚜
Good news for the Agri Machinery Business Division! Escorts Kubota reported a 2.2% growth in total tractor sales for June 2025, pushing the count to 11,498 units compared to 11,245 units in June 2024. While domestic sales saw a tiny dip of 0.1% (selling 10,997 tractors), the real star was exports, which absolutely soared by a whopping 114.1%, reaching 501 units!
This growth in tractors is largely thanks to positive farmer sentiment, driven by the timely arrival of the southwest monsoon, improved sown areas for Kharif crops, and the government’s announcement of higher Minimum Support Prices (MSP). The company remains optimistic, expecting continued growth as an above-normal monsoon, higher water reservoir levels, and a projected record Kharif harvest should boost rural liquidity.
Here’s a quick look at the tractor sales numbers:
| Particulars* | June FY26 | June FY25 | % Change | Q1 (April - June) FY26 | Q1 (April - June) FY25 | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic | 10,997 | 11,011 | -0.1% | 28,848 | 29,409 | -1.9% |
| Export | 501 | 234 | 114.1% | 1,733 | 961 | 80.3% |
| Total | 11,498 | 11,245 | 2.2% | 30,581 | 30,370 | 0.7% |
Construction Equipment: Facing Rough Terrain 🚧
However, it wasn’t all sunshine. The Construction Equipment Business Division experienced a decline. In June 2025, Escorts Kubota sold 334 machines, a 27.2% drop compared to 459 machines sold in June 2024.
The construction equipment market is currently navigating a challenging phase. Factors like the monsoon-driven slowdown in construction activities, delays in infrastructure projects, and higher product prices (partly due to changes in emission regulations) have all contributed to this downturn. Looking at the broader picture, the first quarter (April-June) of FY26 also saw a 23.7% decline in sales for this segment.
Despite the current challenges, there’s a silver lining. Given the government’s increased budget for capital expenditure, a renewed focus on infrastructure development is expected. This means demand for construction equipment is likely to pick up once the monsoon season passes.
Here are the construction equipment sales figures:
| Particular* | June FY26 | June FY25 | % Change | Q1 (April - June) FY26 | Q1 (April - June) FY25 | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 334 | 459 | -27.2% | 1,055 | 1,382 | -23.7% |
