Healthy monsoon along with prospects of higher crop production are expected to lift domestic tractor sales growth by 10-12 percent in the current fiscal, said credit rating agency CRISIL. According to a Crisil report, higher volume and improved product mix will drive expansion in the operating margin of tractor makers, thereby supporting credit profiles. The report cited healthy monsoon and higher crop production as the key factors for higher sales volume forecast. In the past rabi season, crop production surged a significant seven% on-year, it said.
