Escorts Kubota Holds Groundbreaking of New Greenfield
Manufacturing Plant in Uttar Pradesh
The 154-acre facility at Sector 10, YEIDA, will be developed in multiple phases as part of
Escorts Kubota's long-term growth strategy. Upon completion of all phases, the facility is
expected to become one of the largest manufacturing sites within the Kubota Group
globally.
New Delhi, 19 August 2026: Escorts Kubota Limited, the farm and construction equipment
major, has done the groundbreaking of its new greenfield manufacturing plant at Sector 10,
Gautam Buddha Nagar, in the industrial area of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial
Development Authority (YEIDA), Uttar Pradesh. The plant will be developed on a land parcel
spanning across 154 acres.
The new plant will be developed in phases with total indicative investment outlay of over INR
2,000 crore. Upon completion of all phases, it will be one of the largest manufacturing
facilities for the Kubota Group across the globe.
The new plant is part of the company’s strategic capacity expansion. It will manufacture
tractors, farm implements, construction equipment and engines, and will cater to both
domestic and global markets. It is also expected to generate significant employment
opportunities in the region as it is built out.
Phase 1 shall witness capacity expansion of up to 60,000 tractors and 15,000 construction
equipment units per annum, along with supporting infrastructure and allied facilities. The
project will be funded from the proceeds of the earlier preferential issue of shares to Kubota
Corporation and from internal accruals.
YEIDA allotted the land to the company, following a Letter of Intent with the Government of
Uttar Pradesh. The site lies near the Yamuna Expressway, close to the Noida International
Airport at Jewar. The location combines road and air connectivity for pan-India distribution
and exports with access to the engineering and supplier base of the National Capital Region.
“India is one of the world’s largest and fastest growing tractor market, and it plays a
significant role in Kubota’s growth strategy for the year 2030. This greenfield facility and its
scale reflect the role we expect India to play. India is no longer only a market for Kubota. It is
becoming a manufacturing and engineering hub for Kubota globally,” said Shingo Hanada,
President and Representative Director, CEO, Kubota Corporation.

“Escorts began in 1944 with a simple conviction, that Indian farmers and builders deserve
machinery built with the same rigour as anywhere in the world. This is one of the largest
investment we have made in our own manufacturing capacity, and a defining moment in that
journey. The plant will serve farmers and construction contractors across India and global
markets, while strengthening the country’s position as a manufacturing hub for the world,”
said Nikhil Nanda, Chairman and Managing Director, Escorts Kubota Limited.
“This is an integrated manufacturing campus. Across its multiple phases, it will considerably
increase our capacity from today’s levels. Machining, assembly, testing, engines and a mother
warehouse for spare parts will sit on a single site. We are embedding the Kubota Production
System, automation and digital quality control from day one, along with energy-efficient
utilities and rigorous safety standards,” said Akira Kato, Deputy Managing Director, Escorts
Kubota Limited.
The project is aligned with Kubota Corporation’s Mid-Term Business Plan 2030, which
identifies India as one of the Group’s growth drivers. The plan also sets out the intent to build
a global hub for affordable manufacturing in India.
Escorts Kubota has an existing manufacturing capacity of approximately 1,70,000 tractors and
10,000 construction equipment units per annum.
