CNH Begins Construction of 100,000-Tractor Capacity Plant in India
100-acre manufacturing facility in Uttar Pradesh will serve domestic and international markets, with operations expected to begin in mid-2028.
12 November 2026, Greater Noida: CNH has commenced construction of a new manufacturing facility at the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) in Uttar Pradesh, India. Spread across 100 acres, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 100,000 tractors at full scale.
The facility will expand CNH’s manufacturing operations in India and support the production of tractors for domestic and international markets. The first phase of the project is expected to become operational by mid-2028.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, CNH Chair of the Board of Directors Suzanne Heywood, Chief Executive Officer Gerrit Marx and India Region President Narinder Mittal.
The new plant will complement CNH’s existing manufacturing facilities in Greater Noida, where the company produces tractors and engines, and Pune, which manufactures balers, combine harvesters and sugarcane harvesters.
Speaking at the ceremony, Gerrit Marx, Chief Executive Officer, CNH, said, “India is playing an increasingly strategic role within CNH’s global manufacturing and technology ecosystem. The groundbreaking of our new facility at YEIDA marks an important step in expanding our manufacturing footprint and strengthening our ability to serve customers in India and around the world. This investment reflects our confidence in India’s manufacturing capabilities, engineering talent and long-term growth potential, while further strengthening the country’s role in CNH’s global operations.”
Narinder Mittal, President, CNH India Region, said, “We are committed to bringing world-class technology and innovation to Indian farmers, supporting mechanisation and economic growth. Building on the legacy of our first tractor plant in Greater Noida, this new facility will strengthen and expand our existing footprint, leveraging proximity to our current operations and the state’s strong connectivity and industrial ecosystem. We are proud to contribute to the nation’s industrial growth and economic development, while strengthening our commitment to ‘Make in India’ for domestic and global markets.”
The facility will incorporate digital manufacturing systems, robotics, automation and AI-powered quality management systems. These technologies are intended to improve production efficiency, manufacturing precision and quality control.
The plant will also integrate renewable energy, water recycling, green logistics and waste recovery systems into its manufacturing operations, supporting resource efficiency and more sustainable production processes.
The project is expected to generate employment and strengthen the local supplier base. It will also create opportunities across logistics, services and technology, contributing to industrial and economic development in the region.
The investment forms part of CNH’s strategy to expand India’s role in its global manufacturing, engineering, technology and export operations.
