Escorts Kubota shares rise after September tractor sales highest in a month

Shares of Escorts Kubota Ltd.gained on Wednesday, October 1, as it reported its highest-ever monthly sales of 18,267 tractors in September 2025, driven mainly by domestic demand.

This marks a 47.6% increase from the 12,380 tractor units it sold in the year-ago period.

It sold a total of 17,803 tractors in the domestic market, up 48.5% from 11,985 tractors sold in September 2024.

Sales in export, which accounts for a smaller portion of the overall demand, too increased by 17.5%. The company exported

464 tractors in September 2025 compared to 395 tractors in the same month last year.

Escorts Kubota said it expects strong demand to continue for the rest of the year, stating the overall industry outlook remains positive.

It credited favourable rural conditions, monsoon rains, improved water reservoir levels, and the festive season for sustained growth in the tractor industry so far. The recent GST rate cut on tractors and farm machinery has further boosted sentiments, it said. 

Escorts Kubota also informed the exchanges that sales of its construction equipment business division declined 19% in September. It sold 413 machines in September 2025 compared to 510 machines last year.

"The CE industry has faced recent challenges from monsoon disruptions, project delays, and rising costs. With the festive season underway, early signs of recovery are visible. Backed by the government’s infrastructure push, the sector is poised for a rebound in the latter half of fiscal year," the company said.  

In its June quarter, Escorts Kubota posted a net profit of ₹1,397 crore, higher than ₹302 crore in the same quarter last year.  Revenue for the quarter stood at ₹2,500 crore, down 3% year-on-year from ₹2,574 crore.
