• Export revenue targets: Management aims to expand exports from 2–3% to 15% of total top-line by FY30–FY31, with momentum expected to accelerate from FY28 as newly developed products enter global markets.
• Greenfield capacity expansion: The company has planned a Phase 1 capex exceeding ₹2,000 crore on 154 acres near Jewar Airport to eventually double existing tractor capacity, alongside ongoing annual maintenance capex of ₹350–400 crore.
