AutoNxt Automation, India's first electric tractor venture, recently displayed its self-driving electric tractor at the Chandigarh Electric Vehicle Expo event.
Farming accounts for a significant portion of India's GDP, employing 58% of the population. Along with rising food industry demand, the Indian agricultural sector is experiencing a labour shortage due to low pay, marginal land holding, health concerns, and migration issues.
Deputy Chief Minister and other Cabinet Ministers visited the AutoNxt Automation stall and appreciated the concept of the EV Tractor. Visitors responded positively to AutoNxt Automation's e-Tractor, and some expressed interest in purchasing it.
Pankaj Goyal, Co-Founder & COO, AutoNxt Automation, said that “Simultaneously, we have received many expressions of interest in becoming the local distributor for our e-Tractors."
Goyal also spoke about the Punjab EV Policy, requesting that the government include e-tractors in the policies and create incentives to encourage faster adoption of e-tractors in the state.
Despite the fact that the Centre and state governments have already implemented various policies on the sale and purchase of electric vehicles, the public is unaware of the advantages of an electric vehicle.
This Expo event drew a large number of people who came to see and learn about various Electric Vehicles, including e-rickshaws, luxury EV cars, electric LCVs, e-buses, and even e-Tractors.
The PhD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) organized this electric vehicle expo at the Sector 34 exhibition ground in Chandigarh.
The goal of the PHDCCI Expo is to bring together all relevant stakeholders on a common platform for the development of future-ready and environmentally sustainable mobility products and technologies, as well as to provide a platform for the general public to learn more about EV products and government policies.
With their High Torque Electric Powertrain and Off-road Automation Technologies, AutoNxt is a technology company developing an electric autonomous tractor. These technologies were developed by the company after more than 35 years of research and testing.
