AutoNxt Automation, the visionary company behind India’s first electric tractor, has officially started sales, targeting the sugar industry with the inaugural sale to Jaywant Sugar Mills. The landmark event took place in Western Maharashtra at the Yashwantrao Mohite Krishna Sugar Factory, graced by the presence of Dr Sureshbaba Bhosale, chairman of the factory, who hailed the launch as a transformative step for agriculture and industry alike. The launch event was attended by directors and staff members of the Y. M. Krishna Cooperative Factory, along with a large contingent from the local farming community.
"AutoNxt's electric tractor will bring about a revolution in agriculture and various industrial sectors," said Dr Bhosale, highlighting its importance in moving away from traditional diesel-powered machinery.
As part of India’s 'Make in India' initiative, the company's electric tractor is set to make significant strides in both agriculture and industry. Dr Bhosale praised this innovation, emphasising that the tractor aligns with the country's push towards sustainable development in an era of potential fuel shortages. The inauguration event celebrated not only the tractor’s introduction but also the pride felt by the local community.
"It is a matter of great pride that Kaustubh Dhonde, the founder and CEO of AutoNxt, hails from Wai taluka in Satara district," added Dr Bhosale.
Dhonde said, "Our nation depends heavily on agriculture, and farmers remain the backbone of the economy. Traditional diesel tractors, while reliable, are expensive to maintain and contribute to environmental harm. Our goal with the AutoNxt electric tractor was to provide farmers with an affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative."
