India’s fastest growing tractor brand and the No. 1 Exports brand from the country, Sonalika Tractors came forward in April’21 to announce a massive COVID-19 vaccination drive for 100% of its workforce and in just two months, the company has achieved its mission. Under the fully sponsored drive by the company, all of Sonalika’s family members have been vaccinated with the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine moving as per plan at the Pan India level. The vaccination drive will continue until the company administers second dose of the workforce as per government policies and fully ensure their health safety.
In the month of May’21, Sonalika Tractors remained committed towards the farming community amidst the challenging situations and connected with farmers through every route possible to address their queries – be it new tractors or service related. Overall, Sonalika has sold overall 8876 tractors in May’21 with 14.1% overall market share.
Sharing his thoughts on the vaccination drive, Mr. Raman Mittal, Executive Director, Sonalika Group, said, “We at Sonalika stand committed towards the society while offering full-fledged support even during the toughest situations such as the pandemic or address critical requirements of farmers.”
We continued to remain connected with farmers through every possible avenue to address their queries – be it new tractors or service related.

Overall we have recorded 8876 tractors sales in May’21 amidst the state wise lockdowns and restricted dealership operations.
