Escorts Kubota Limited has initiated the groundbreaking of its new greenfield manufacturing plant in Sector 10, Gautam Buddha Nagar, within the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) industrial area in Uttar Pradesh. The facility, spread across 154 acres, represents a significant expansion in the company’s manufacturing footprint and is being developed as part of its long-term growth strategy.

The project carries an indicative total investment outlay of over ₹2,000 crore. Once all phases are completed, the site is projected to rank among the largest manufacturing facilities for the Kubota Group worldwide. The plant will produce tractors, farm implements, construction equipment, and engines, catering to both domestic and global markets while generating substantial employment opportunities in the region.

Capacity Expansion Details

The expansion is structured in multiple phases. Phase 1 alone is designed to add annual production capacity of up to 60,000 tractors and 15,000 construction equipment units, alongside supporting infrastructure and allied facilities. This new capacity complements the company’s existing manufacturing capability of approximately 1,70,000 tractors and 10,000 construction equipment units per annum.

The project is funded through proceeds from an earlier preferential issue of shares to Kubota Corporation and internal accruals. The land allotment by YEIDA followed a Letter of Intent with the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The strategic location near the Yamuna Expressway and close to the Noida International Airport at Jewar provides integrated road and air connectivity for pan-India distribution and exports, leveraging the engineering and supplier base of the National Capital Region.

Strategic Significance

The greenfield facility aligns with Kubota Corporation’s Mid-Term Business Plan 2030, which identifies India as a key growth driver and intends to establish the country as a global hub for affordable manufacturing. Shingo Hanada, President and Representative Director, CEO of Kubota Corporation, emphasized that India is evolving from merely a market into a manufacturing and engineering hub for the group globally.

Nikhil Nanda, Chairman and Managing Director of Escorts Kubota Limited, described the investment as a defining moment in the company’s journey since 1944. He noted that the plant will serve farmers and construction contractors across India and global markets, reinforcing India’s position as a manufacturing hub.

Akira Kato, Deputy Managing Director, highlighted that the integrated campus will embed the Kubota Production System, automation, and digital quality control from day one. The facility will house machining, assembly, testing, engine production, and a mother warehouse for spare parts on a single site, adhering to energy-efficient utilities and rigorous safety standards.

Escorts Kubota Limited has scheduled a virtual one-on-one meeting with Valuequest Investment Advisors Private Limited for August 21, 2026. The session is set to begin at 11:00 am and conclude at 12:00 pm.
