The Swaraj 855 FE combines power and comfort, with a lifting capacity of 2000 kg and live hydraulics for precise implement control. 

CBG Tractors gained the Spotlight at Krishithon 2024 

Compressed Biogas Tractors (CBG Tractors) emerged as one of the most exciting innovations showcased at Krishithon 2024. Promoted as a sustainable alternative to diesel-powered machinery, these tractors are designed to run on compressed biogas derived from organic waste, aligning with India’s push toward green energy in agriculture. 

CBG Tractors offer multiple benefits: they reduce dependency on fossil fuels, significantly lower operational costs, and contribute to a circular economy by utilizing farm and organic waste for fuel production. Their introduction at Krishithon highlights the growing emphasis on integrating eco-friendly solutions into mainstream farming practices. 

Designed for optimal performance, these tractors are particularly suited for tasks such as ploughing, hauling, and sowing, offering the same efficiency as their diesel counterparts. Their affordability, combined with government incentives for green technology adoption, positions CBG Tractors as a game-changer in the Indian agricultural landscape. 

This launch reaffirms the industry’s commitment to innovation, ensuring farmers have access to sustainable, cost-efficient, and high-performing tools for modern agriculture 

CBG Tractors (Compressed Biogas Tractors) emerged as a key highlight, representing a shift towards environmentally sustainable and cost-effective agricultural machinery. Their innovative design promises reduced dependence on diesel and lower operational costs, making them a promising choice for Indian farmers.
