Hemant Sikka, President of the Farm Equipment Sector at Mahindra & Mahindra, expressed confidence in sustained growth, stating,
"The harvest season has commenced in northern India and will progress smoothly across the country. We expect continued strong demand in the coming months, driven by improved farmer earnings and a very good Rabi harvest."
