Over the years, John Deere India has grown into a vital part of the global tractor industry. The brand now plays a significant role in making India one of the world’s largest tractor manufacturing hubs, accounting for nearly one-third of the global production.

Two Decades of Quality, Innovation & Global Exports

For more than 20 years, John Deere India has exported tractors from Pune to markets across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The company’s products are celebrated for their durability, advanced features, and superior fuel efficiency, making them the preferred choice of farmers worldwide.

This long-standing success showcases John Deere’s commitment to quality, innovation, and trust. By maintaining international manufacturing standards, the Pune facility has strengthened India’s reputation in the global agricultural machinery market.

Behind every John Deere tractor is a story of teamwork and expertise. From engineers to assembly line technicians, every employee at the Pune Works facility has contributed to this achievement. Their precision, skill, and dedication to excellence have been key to producing world-class tractors trusted by farmers across continents.

John Deere credits its success to these people — the driving force behind its innovation and quality.

Plans include the introduction of AI-powered tractors, precision agriculture tools, and eco-friendly machinery to help farmers enhance productivity while protecting natural resources.

The brand continues to align its goals with India’s vision of modern, tech-driven, and sustainable farming.
