30 Years of Sonalika Tractors: A Punjab-Born Brand Driving Indian Farming Worldwide

Hoshiarpur, Punjab: In 2026, Sonalika Tractors celebrates a major milestone as it completes 30 years of service to Indian agriculture. Established in 1996 in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, the company began its journey away from India’s traditional industrial centres, guided by determination, resilience, and a strong bond with farmers. 

The 30-year celebration carries the theme “Jeetne Ka Dum (Power to Win)”, symbolising the strength that has powered the brand’s growth.

What began as a brave move in the aftermath of retirement soon became a seminal event in the tractor industry in India. With a big dream and his children at his side, the retired guy would have ignited something massive in a market that was extremely competitive at that time. This gamble worked, and they made a new name a household name amongst farmers.

Growth Rooted in Farmer Trust

In the last three decades, Sonalika has swapped between being a local manufacturer to a brand that is recognised all over the world. 

They have the leading tractor plant in the world and have captivated more than 18 lakh farmers in India. Their machines are used in 150+ countries, and they boast Indian engineering in all fields.

This gradual increase is reflective of the fact that the ag tech in India is making inroads in the global market through its sound performance, reliability and practical design.

Looking Ahead to the Anniversary Year

To celebrate the 30th anniversary in 2026, Sonalika will be organising events and activities that are directly in the alley of farmers. They are also poised to launch new models that actually fit the conditions on the ground and fit into the needs of the farmers, both presently and in the future.

Sonalika Tractors is one of the brightest examples of vision, endurance, and prioritising farmers that have been created thirty years after its establishment. The brand is moving forward with Jeetne Ka Dum as its guide for its commitment to agriculture in India and in the entire world.
