Escorts Kubota has launched Powertrac Shaurya, a new ‘South Special’ paddy tractor series comprising five variants across the 39 HP to 52 HP category range. The launch marks the first time the Powertrac brand is introducing a dedicated paddy and wetland-focused series developed specifically for the paddy-growing regions of Southern India, including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, strengthening the company’s presence in a key mechanization segment.

Escorts Kubota operates three tractor brands in India - Kubota, Farmtrac and Powertrac - catering to premium, entry-premium and value segments respectively. Powertrac Brand represents the company’s value and mass segment offering across multiple agricultural applications.

Developed for paddy cultivation, the Shaurya series is engineered for reliable operations in wetland and waterlogged field conditions. It incorporates cassette-type sealing across critical aggregates to help prevent water and mud ingress during operations and features a sharp turning radius of 3.1 metres to support manoeuvrability in small and medium-sized field conditions. The tractors are equipped with a fully constant mesh gearbox with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears and offer Sensi-1 hydraulic lift in the 1600–2000 kg range, depending on the variant. The Powertrac Shaurya series will be available across authorised Powertrac dealerships in Southern India.

Escorts Kubota is one of India's leading engineering conglomerates with over six decades of experience. It has helped accelerate India’s socio-economic development through its presence across the high growth sectors of Agri-machinery, construction & material handling equipment and railway equipment.
