The company’s flagship power tiller segment led the growth with sales of 2,003 units in April 2025, representing a substantial 117% increase from the 923 units sold in the same month last year. The tractor division also performed well, with sales growing by 52.4% to reach 317 units, up from 208 units in April 2024.
This impressive performance follows the company’s strong showing in March 2025, when total sales had surged by 63.6% year-on-year, indicating a sustained recovery in the agricultural machinery sector.
Industry analysts note that VST’s April results are particularly significant as they come during a traditionally important purchasing period for farmers preparing for the kharif sowing season. The substantial growth suggests robust rural demand and increased farm mechanization across the country.
Market observers attribute the growth to several favorable factors including positive farmer sentiment, adequate water reservoir levels across the country, timely government initiatives, and expectations of a normal monsoon this year. The increasing adoption of farm mechanization, especially among small and marginal farmers, has also contributed to the demand for power tillers, where VST maintains a dominant market position.
The performance is in line with a broader recovery in the agricultural equipment sector that began gaining momentum in early 2025.
The strong April performance positions VST well for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025-26, especially if the predicted normal monsoon materializes. The company had closed the previous fiscal year with a modest 1.7% growth in total sales, but the substantial year-on-year increases in both March and April indicate a potential acceleration in growth trajectory.
Agricultural equipment manufacturers across the industry have reported positive sales figures in recent months, suggesting a broader sectoral recovery. Industry leaders remain optimistic about the outlook for the remainder of 2025, with expectations of sustained demand driven by favorable agricultural conditions and continued government support for farm mechanization.
As the agricultural sector continues its transformation towards increased mechanization, VST’s strong market position in the power tiller segment and growing tractor business could see the company benefit significantly from this evolving landscape.
