VST Tillers Tractors has filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 with the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd and BSE Ltd. The disclosure, dated September 1, 2026, outlines the company’s environmental, social, and governance performance alongside operational metrics.

The report confirms that power tillers and small farm machinery account for 67% of total turnover, while tractors contribute 33%. Exports represent 7% of total turnover, with operations spanning 28 Indian states and 40 countries.

Operational and Workforce Metrics

VST Tillers Tractors operates three plants and 23 offices across India. As of March 31, 2026, the company employed 619 permanent employees and 883 permanent workers. Female representation stands at 4.20% among employees and 3.06% among workers.

What the Numbers Show

Sales concentration remains high, with 90.52% of total sales directed to dealers and distributors in FY26, up from 87.99% in FY25. This indicates a deepening reliance on the dealer network for revenue realization. Additionally, customer complaints rose to 4,718 from 4,119 in the prior year, though all were resolved within the period, suggesting robust after-sales service capacity despite higher volume.

Environmental and Governance Disclosures

The company reported total energy consumption of 44,983.69 GJ, with renewable sources contributing 4,463.06 GJ. Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions totaled 2,536.99 and 1,775.54 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, respectively. Water withdrawal increased to 45,262.00 kilolitres, primarily from groundwater (35,416.00 KL).

Governance structures include Board oversight for sustainability policies. The company recorded zero fines or penalties related to regulatory violations. Anti-corruption policies are in place, with no disciplinary actions taken against directors or key managerial personnel for bribery or corruption.

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd reported a decline in total equipment sales volume for August 2026, driven by lower demand in both power tiller and tractor segments. The company sold 3,720 units in the month, down from 4,499 units in August 2025.

The filing, issued on September 1, 2026, provides un-audited sales quantity data for the period ended August 2026. While monthly volumes contracted, the year-to-date (YTD) figures show a modest increase in total sales compared to the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

Sales Volume Breakdown

Power tillers remained the dominant product line, accounting for the majority of total units sold. However, this segment also witnessed a significant drop in monthly sales compared to the prior year. Tractor sales followed a similar downward trajectory for the month.

What the Numbers Show

A divergence exists between the monthly and cumulative performance metrics. While August 2026 saw a sharp contraction in monthly sales across both categories, the YTD total for FY27 (24,634 units) exceeds the YTD total for FY26 (23,925 units). This indicates that the decline in August was offset by stronger sales performance in earlier months of the current fiscal year, resulting in net positive growth on a cumulative basis despite the recent monthly slowdown.
