Agricultural equipment maker CNH India has started construction of a new greenfield manufacturing facility in Uttar Pradesh. Spread across 100 acres, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 1 lakh tractors at full scale and is expected to begin first-phase operations by mid-2028. Greater Noida, November 12 — CNH India has officially broken ground on its new greenfield tractor manufacturing facility at the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) in Uttar Pradesh, strengthening the company’s manufacturing footprint in India. The first phase of the facility is expected to become operational by mid-2028, the agricultural equipment manufacturer said. Spread across 100 acres, the new plant will have the capacity to manufacture 100,000 tractors annually at full scale and will cater to both domestic and export markets. New plant to complement existing facilities The new facility will complement CNH’s existing manufacturing operations in India. The company’s existing Greater Noida facility manufactures tractors and engines, while its Pune operations produce equipment such as balers, combine harvesters and sugarcane harvesters. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new plant was held in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, CNH Chair Suzanne Heywood, CEO Gerrit Marx and India Region President Narinder Mittal. Marx said India is playing an increasingly strategic role in CNH’s global manufacturing and technology ecosystem. Robotics and AI-powered quality systems CNH plans to equip the upcoming factory with modern manufacturing technologies. The plant will use robotics, automation and AI-powered quality systems to support production and quality control. Sustainability will also be incorporated into the manufacturing process. According to the company, the facility will adopt measures including renewable energy, water recycling, green logistics and waste recovery. These initiatives are intended to combine large-scale tractor manufacturing with more sustainable industrial operations. Jobs and supplier opportunities CNH expects the project to strengthen the local supplier ecosystem and create new economic opportunities around the manufacturing facility. The company said the plant will generate employment and create opportunities across logistics, services and technology. Mittal said the facility would build on CNH’s first tractor plant in Greater Noida and benefit from its proximity to the company’s existing operations. The region’s connectivity and industrial ecosystem were also cited as advantages for the project. The company, however, did not disclose the total investment amount for the new manufacturing facility. Once fully operational, the plant’s annual capacity of one lakh tractors will provide CNH with additional manufacturing capacity to serve both India’s agricultural equipment market and overseas customers.
