CNH marks the production milestone of 700,000 New Holland and Case IH tractors at its manufacturing site in Greater Noida, India. The plant produces approximately 2,000 tractor variants, ranging from 35 to 120 horsepower across the two brands.

Gerrit Marx, CEO of CNH attended the milestone ceremony during his recent visit to India, affirming the Company’s commitment to this market and its continued growth.

Since commencing production in 1999, the site has expanded its capacity to produce 60,000 tractors annually. Currently, the Greater Noida plant manufactures tractors, engines, Power Take Offs (PTOs), and axles for the domestic market and exports to over 75 countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and North America.

“I’m delighted to celebrate the milestone of manufacturing 700,000 tractors together with our CEO and the India team. This accomplishment underscores our dedication to ‘Made in India’ and advancing agricultural development in the country,” commented Narinder Mittal, Country Manager & Managing Director, CNH India & SAARC.

“India holds a significant position on the international stage, offering immense opportunities and scale. Our focus on technology and innovation will continue to drive our success here.”

Spread over 60 acres, the Greater Noida plant is one of CNH’s most advanced tractor manufacturing sites with some 1,200 employees. The facility prides itself on promoting sustainability, using energy from solar panels installed on its roof, and its ongoing afforestation project that adopts the Miyawaki Project Methodology – namely densely planting a range of native woodland plants.

CNH India operates in the country through its Case IH, New Holland, and CASE Construction Equipment brands, delivering for over 25 years from its ‘Made in India’ operations. In 2018, the company launched its financing arm CNH Capital India to offer financing solutions across its portfolio.
