Building on the ‘Made in
India, Made for India’ vision, ‘The Bahubali’ is the first ever fully locally
designed and developed power tiller by Greaves Cotton in India. With the new
high power 14HP engine and heavy duty performance, it offers best-in-class
ploughing performance with higher tilling depth, excellent fuel efficiency and
a rugged body for long life.
Speaking about the launch, Nagesh
Basavanhalli, MD & CEO, Greaves Cotton Limited said, “As part of our
strategy, we have invested in building capability - people, facility &
technology. This will help us strengthen our position in the Agri sector, as we
cater a wide range of products & services to the farmers to help them right
from ploughing to harvesting. With the Indian economy rapidly evolving, there
is a need to make efficient use of farm machinery to improve land
productivity”.
Greaves is working closely
with farmers & FPO’s to understand their needs & create farm solutions
that promise more yield per acre of farm, especially when we see shrinking
landholdings with rapid increase in population & shortage of farm labour in
India.
