At Agrovision 2025, Mahindra showcased its latest innovations in sustainable tractor technology, which includes:

• CNG/CBG Tractor: Based on Mahindra’s popular Yuvo Tech+ tractor platform, the new CNG/CBG tractor offers the flexibility to run on both Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Compressed Biogas (CBG) and duel fuel (Diesel-CNG).
• Ethanol Flex Fuel Tractor Engine: This new alternate fuel technology from Mahindra is a flex fuel engine capable of running on ethanol derived from multiple sources like sugarcane, maize, maize husk, plant stubble, crop waste, and other farm-based sources.
• Electric Tractor: Mahindra’s Electric Tractor is built on Mahindra’s global lightweight tractor platform, the Mahindra OJA. Besides ensuring reduced operating cost, the new electric tractor provides better torque delivery and overall efficiency for multiple application, along with an option of fast charging.

Developed at Mahindra Research Valley (MRV), Chennai, these breakthrough alternate fuel technologies leverage decades of Mahindra’s expertise in advanced engine innovation, positioning the company at the forefront of the country’s endeavour in developing sustainable solutions in farm mechanisation.

Commenting on the new showcases, Mr. Veejay Nakra – President, Farm Equipment Business, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, “Mahindra is committed to leading India’s shift to alternate fuel technologies and driving cleaner, smarter, and sustainable farming solutions. Our presence at Agrovision 2025 underscores this commitment as we showcase innovative tractors and technologies that will shape the future of Indian agriculture, aligned with the Government of India’s vision toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.” 

Achieving net-zero emissions requires embracing alternate fuel technologies like CNG, Electric, CBG, ethanol, biofuel, and isobutyl, which can help create a long-term sustainable pathway to promote a long-term sustainable future for India.

Mahindra continues to lead the way in driving positive change with reliable and accessible mechanisation solutions across India’s growing agri sector. Over the last few years, Mahindra has showcased a range of alternate fuel tractor technologies, like a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) tractor, a CBG (Compressed Biogas) tractor and other pioneering clean technologies to reduce emissions and lower operating costs for farmer in India and the world.
