New Delhi - Montra Electric., the clean mobility brand under the diversified Murugappa Group, has announced its significant foray into northern India with the launch of the Montra Electric E-27 — the country’s first ARAI-certified electric tractor. The introduction took place at the 9th edition of EIMA Agrimach India 2025, a leading international exhibition showcasing advancements in farm mechanization.
The E-27 marks a significant leap in cleaner and smarter farming for India. Powered by a high-efficiency PMSM motor delivering 27 HP equivalent power and 90 Nm torque, the e-tractor comes in both 2WD and 4WD options to suit varied farm conditions. Its 22.37 kWh LFP battery offers around 4.5 hours of runtime with a fast-charging time of just 2.15 hours, ensuring safe and reliable day-long performance.
ARAI-certified for safety and efficiency, the E-27 features an 8F+2R side-shift transmission, dual-speed PTO, and a 720 kg lifting capacity — delivering diesel-like performance without emissions. With quiet operation and minimal vibration, it greatly improves operator comfort and supports better long-term health for farmers.
Mr. Harish Prasad, CEO of Montra Electric Tractors, said, “Expanding into the northern markets with the Montra Electric E-27 marks a key milestone in India’s clean-mobility transformation in agriculture. Electrifying the most widely used machinery in farming — the tractor — is essential to achieving sustainability at scale. The E-27 empowers farmers with cutting-edge technology while significantly lowering total cost of ownership, aligning sustainability with productivity.”
With this launch, Montra Electric continues to strengthen its leadership in sustainable mobility, extending its presence from electric commercial vehicles into agricultural equipment — paving the way for a future-ready and environmentally responsible farming ecosystem in India.
