Ever since rolling out its 1st tractor 30 years ago in 1996, Sonalika has consistently strengthened its capabilities to challenge industry benchmarks and put the small non-industrial town of Hoshiarpur on the world map. The company gradually built a complete business ecosystem of manufacturing support partners in the area, and today, the town of just 18 lakh has evolved into a global manufacturing hub for Sonalika Tractors. From manufacturing just 2 tractors a day during its inception days, the brand has come a long way, now rolling out a brand new tractor every 2 minutes that fulfils the growing needs of farmers in India, the world’s largest tractor market, as well as meet export commitments across 150+ countries.
Maintaining the highest quality standards remains paramount for Sonalika, which consistently leverages its advanced automation processes powered by robotics and automation. Every Sonalika tractor undergoes comprehensive rounds of testing and validation to meet the highest standards of performance, durability, and reliability that farmers can trust throughout the lifecycle of ownership. A remarkable symbol of the brand’s sheer scale of manufacturing prowess is that the facility is fully equipped to manufacture every part in-house that goes into making powerful tractors.
Sharing his thoughts during the celebration ceremony, Dr. Amrit Sagar Mittal, Vice Chairman, International Tractors Limited, said, “It is an emotional moment for us as we celebrate the legacy-defining 20 Lakhth tractor production milestone at our World’s Largest integrated tractor manufacturing plant at Hoshiarpur, Punjab. What began as a bold vision has evolved into a symbol of India’s manufacturing excellence and our technological capability in a town with just over 18Lac population. It is a celebration of a belief that has guided us for 30 years: the prosperity of farmers is the foundation of a stronger nation. This achievement belongs to millions of farmers who have trusted us, and inspire us to continue building an even brighter future for agriculture.”
Dr. Deepak Mittal, Managing Director, International Tractors Limited, said, “The roll-out of our 20 Lakhth tractor strongly emphasizes Indian engineering expertise and on how far it can travel across diverse geographies and agri conditions when driven by vision, innovation, and execution excellence. What began in Hoshiarpur three decades ago today powers farmers across 150+ countries, establishing Sonalika as a globally respected brand and India’s No.1 tractor export brand. While we take pride in this achievement, we remain focused on accelerating growth, deepening our international footprint, and creating the next chapter of global leadership powered by innovation, agility, and execution excellence.”
Speaking at the production milestone ceremony held at Hoshiarpur plant, Mr. Raman Mittal, Joint Managing Director, International Tractors Limited, said, “From forging the raw steel at our plant to conquering the toughest terrains on earth with our tractors, every heartbeat of our factory is fuelled by the spirit that no matter how far we grow, our purpose remains deeply rooted to ensure prosperity of the hands that feed the world. By 100% manufacturing everything in-house, every tractor we roll out carries the strength of our in-house capabilities and the precision of world-class technology that together deliver the spirit of ‘Jeetne Ka Dum’ to farmers. We broke the boundaries of what a small town could achieve, and we will not stop until every farmer is armed with the absolute best of Indian engineering. We are even more determined to power the next chapter of farmers’ growth and committed to ‘Powering Dreams: From Hoshiarpur to the World’.”
