Tractor sales month by month, Q3 FY 2024-25
India's tractor market registered 2,48,321 tractors in Q3 FY 2024-25. Volumes grew strongly 19.2% against the 2,08,251 logged over the same 3 months of Q3 FY 2023-24.
December was the strongest month of the period at 1,00,672 tractors and October the quietest at 65,582, an average of 82,774 a month. Every one of those 3 months grew on the same month a year earlier.
December is the year-end discount month, though many buyers hold registration to January to keep a newer model year on the RC.

What tractors run on
Vahan splits a segment by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so this table covers full-year 2024 rather than Q3 FY 2024-25 alone — it is exact for that window.
Diesel accounts for 99.98% of tractor registrations over full-year 2024, with battery-electric at 0.0%.

Source. Every figure is a vehicle registration, taken daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source FADA and the industry use for retail data. Registrations are not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. "EV" means battery electric (Vahan fuels PURE EV and ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately.
