Survival of the Igonred


Many would have heard about 'Survival of the Fittest' but here's something different, its the 'Survival of the Ignored'. HMT Tractors is a public sector company which has been selling tractors in India since 1971. The first 25 HP tractor was manufactured in collaboration with Motokov of erstwhile Czekoslovakia. HMT Tractor has its manufacturing plant in Pinjore in the state of Haryana. Coming back to the topic, most of you would know how Government of India ignored HMT Companies to help private sector. HMT Tractors though ignored by the Government has been facing still competition both from Indian Tractor manufactures and International Tractor manufactures in the Indian Market. But it is still amazing to see that people still love to buy HMT Tractors due to its reliability. In Cities most of us forget old brands and pass on to new brands. But in rural India, the old legends of still linger and people's trust on brand hold high. Though Ignored by all, HMT tractors still keep selling in small numbers due to people's choice. I wish someone wakes up and save the HMT Tractor which brought farm mechanization to Indain Agriculture.
