Swaraj Tractors has roped in MS Dhoni as its brand ambassador since 2018. Dhoni, who is known for his passion for farming and tractors, has been actively involved in the development and promotion of the new range. He has also given his inputs and feedback to the Swaraj team on various aspects of the tractors.
The target market for the new range of Swaraj tractors is small and medium-sized farmers. These farmers are looking for tractors that are powerful, reliable and comfortable to operate. The new range of Swaraj tractors meets these needs and is expected to be well-received by the farmers.
The competitive landscape in the tractor industry is quite competitive. The major players in the industry include TAFE, Eicher and John Deere. The new range of Swaraj tractors will compete with the products of these companies.

The company’s strong performance in the tractor segment, along with its recovery in the automotive segment, has been driving its stock price.
According to analysts, M&M’s share price can further rise up to Rs 1,100-1,200 in the next six months, given its robust outlook for both its tractor and automotive businesses. The company is also expected to benefit from its strategic partnerships with Ford India and Pininfarina, as well as its investments in electric vehicles and mobility solutions.
