AutoNxt’s game-changing electric tractor marks a new chapter for farmers, industries, and the planet.

AutoNxt, a tech-driven company leading the electric mobility space, has officially launched India’s first indigenously built electric tractor.

The vehicle was formally registered today at the Thane RTO, making history as the first of its kind in the country.

Maharashtra’s Transport Minister, Shri Pratap Sarnaik, called the electric tractor a “boon” for the agriculture and industrial sectors. He noted it could spark a significant green shift nationwide. The tractor was originally unveiled by former CM Shri Eknath Shinde last year and has already drawn attention from across India.

Performance

AutoNxt’s electric tractor has been successfully tested across multiple Indian states. It has delivered excellent results in local government projects, cow shelters, biomass plants, dairy farms, and sugar factories. Known for its fuel efficiency and low maintenance, the tractor is also a cleaner, quieter alternative to traditional diesel models.

The Diesel Alternative Farmers Needed

With no electric alternative available until now, farmers and institutions had little choice but to rely on diesel tractors. AutoNxt’s innovation is expected to change that rapidly. It promises reduced fuel expenses, lower servicing costs, and less pollution—benefiting both pockets and the planet.

Here’s What The Leaders Say

Kaustubh Dhonde, Founder & CEO of AutoNxt, said, “This moment marks the beginning of a transformative shift in agricultural technology. Our indigenously developed electric tractor is a testament to India’s engineering capabilities and our commitment to sustainable solutions. In addition to this Mr. Pankaj Goyal, Co-founder and COO, AutoNXT said “It’s not just a product—it’s a movement toward a cleaner, more cost-effective, and future-ready India.”

Electric vehicles are being widely recognised as a solution to reduce fossil fuel dependence and greenhouse gas emissions. Both central and state governments are actively encouraging EV adoption, including through policies like the Maharashtra Electric Vehicle Policy 2025, which aims for 20% EV registrations by 2025.
