Sunjay J. Kapur, President, ACMA, said, “The farm equipment industry across the world is transforming itself in light of the challenges on the front of energy security, concern for the environment, and reducing carbon footprint. With India declaring to achieve carbon neutrality by 2070, the automotive and the farm sector, together with all other verticals of the industry will have to work in unison towards the realization of this national goal.”

As we're headed towards a more environment-conscious model, the auto component industry and the tractor industry will have to work in unison to contribute to the national goal of net zero emissions by 2070. - @sunjaykapur, President, ACMA #ACMAForLocalisation pic.twitter.com/CnGawYj77X

Vinnie Mehta, Director General, ACMA said, “The agricultural sector has shown promising growth despite the pandemic, it recorded a sale of 9.6 lakh units in FY 20-21 and another over 9 lakh units in first 11 months for FY 21-22. Indeed, we are very proud of our tractor industry as it is world no.1 in terms of units produced as also a significant exporter. That apart, although the farm implements sector is at a nascent stage in our country, however, it also holds great potential.”
