About Escorts Kubota’s business
Tractor manufacturer Escorts Kubota continues to face challenges, such as industry export volumes plunging 30 per cent year-on-year (YoY) during the period of April to November due to high inventory levels, weaker used market pricing, and adverse weather conditions, reported Mint earlier.
However, after the Reserve Bank of India’s approvals, Escort is poised to invest ₹700 crore in its financing arm to reduce turnaround times and boost the company’s market share.
“This was an area where Escorts fell short compared to peers. The new finance arm is likely to provide added flexibility and support for tractor and construction equipment sales, aiding its market share,” Mitul Shah, an analyst at Dam Capital Advisors, told Mint on December 27.
