M&M cuts FY27 tractor growth forecast to flat
In short

A weaker outlook can affect manufacturers and buyers in rain-hit regions.
What the reporting says
M&M cut its FY27 tractor industry growth outlook to flat, citing deficient rainfall in Maharashtra and Karnataka that is weighing on tractor demand.

The update signals weaker expected demand in some key farming regions, even as other parts of the market continue to hold up.
Why it matters
M&M lowered its FY27 tractor industry growth outlook to flat after deficient rainfall in Maharashtra and Karnataka weighed on demand.
