AutoNxt is a Mumbai-based deep-tech startup building India’s first electric tractor with off-road autonomous driving capabilities. Its high torque-capable EV tractors deliver the same degree of operational performance for heavy-duty applications as conventional ICE-based (diesel) tractors.
While India has taken several steps to reduce (on-road) transport emissions – with the transition to BS VI emission & fuels standards and the push for EVs – the off-road transport sector, which primarily comprises tractors (in agri and industrial use cases), has lagged.
The outdated emission control technology for India’s tractors, coupled with the expected rise in the stock of tractors in use as agri mechanization continues apace, makes the segment ripe for electrification. As the only Indian company with electric tractors ready for commercial deployment towards large-scale B2B industrial use cases (e.g., solar panel cleaning and hauling biomass fuel for energy generation), AutoNxt is perfectly positioned to be the category leader in this space.
