Montra Electric launches E-27 electric tractor at ₹10.75 lakh

Montra Electric, a clean mobility brand of the Murugappa Group, announced its entry into northern India with the launch of the Montra Electric E-27, an ARAI-certified electric tractor. The product was showcased at the 9th edition of EIMA Agrimach India 2025, an international exhibition focused on farm mechanization. The E-27 is available across 17 dealerships in 10 states. The starting ex-showroom price is ₹10.75 lakh.

The E-27 delivers 27 HP equivalent power and 90 Nm torque through a PMSM motor. It is available in 2WD and 4WD drivetrain options. The tractor is equipped with a 22.37 kWh LFP battery providing an estimated runtime of around 4.5 hours and a charging time of approximately 2 hours 15 minutes. The model includes an 8F+2R side-shift transmission, dual-speed PTO (540 and 1000 rpm), and a 720 kg hydraulic lifting capacity.

According to the company, electric tractors can reduce operating costs by up to 70% due to the elimination of diesel usage and lower maintenance needs, with potential savings of around ₹10 lakh over five years compared to diesel models. The tractor is designed to operate with reduced noise and vibration.

Speaking at the launch, Harish Prasad, CEO, Montra Electric Tractors, said “The expansion into the northern markets with our Montra Electric E-27 tractor is a pivotal milestone for us and a major step in India’s clean-mobility and agricultural transformation. Agriculture is the largest consumer of tractors, which makes electrification essential for achieving meaningful sustainability at scale. The E-27 reflects our broader vision of building clean, accessible, and future-ready mobility solutions. By bringing zero-emission technology to India’s farmlands, we are aligning our mission of sustainable mobility with the nation’s long-term environmental and economic priorities. Farmers can now embrace cutting-edge technology without compromising productivity, while substantially reducing their total cost of ownership.”
