ICRA
said on Wednesday.
Pre-buying ahead of the TREM V emission norms, proposed to take effect from April 1, 2026, could further aid volume growth, ICRA said in a statement.
"The industry wholesale volumes grew at 7 per cent in FY2025, aided by steady demand amid adequate rainfall. In FY2026, the industry is expected to report a growth of 4-7 per cent supported by a favourable monsoon forecast," it said.

Citing IMD (
India Meteorological Department
) forecast of an above-normal precipitation at 105 per cent of the long period average (LPA) during the current monsoon season as per first long-range forecast, ICRA said, favourable monsoon and increased crop production will support industry volumes.
"Further, the third advance estimates, released in May 2025, indicate a YoY increase of 7.9 per cent in kharif crop output. Rabi crop sowing also marked a YoY increase of 1.5 per cent, which provides optimism regarding improved agri-output and farm income," the ratings agency said.
Live Events
In May 2025, tractor wholesale and retail volumes rose by 9.1 per cent YoY and 2.8 per cent YoY, respectively. The demand remains supported by positive farm sentiments on the back of early monsoon arrival and timely onset of kharif sowing, ICRA noted.
It, however, pointed out that commodity costs are expected to see an uptick in FY26 due to the imposition of 12 per cent tariffs on some steel imports from April 2025 coupled with an increase in domestic steel demand.
However, the credit profile of tractor manufacturers is anticipated to remain supported by likely rise in volumes, low debt and adequate cash and liquid investments, the statement said.

Costa Coffee's India FY25 sales jump 30% to Rs 198 cr; gross margin declines marginally
British coffee chain brand Costa Coffee's India revenue from operations surged 30.76 per cent to Rs 198.5 crore in FY25, and its profit rose 28.4 per cent to Rs 149.7 crore. The growth was driven by store expansion, as the number of outlets increased from 179 to 220 in FY25, according to the latest annual report of Devynai International Ltd (DIL). Its revenue from operations was Rs 151.8 crore, and profit stood at 116.6 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2024. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cara Membantu Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma Limfoma Pelajari Undo Costa Coffee's gross margin declined marginally to 75.4 per cent from 76.8 per cent in FY24, primarily because of inflation in coffee beans and other input materials. "The brand contribution margin came down from 17 per cent to 16.1 per cent, with average daily sales (ADS) per store declining from Rs 33,000 to Rs 27,000, translating into a reduction of same store aales growth (SSSG) from 8.7 per cent to 4.1 per cent during this period," said DIL. Live Events Costa Coffee is operated in India through its franchise partner DIL, a leading QSR ( Quick Service Restaurant ) chain operator. Earlier this year, in April, Costa Coffee's Global CEO Philippe Schaillee, who was on a visit here, told PTI that India is going to be among the top five global markets for the British coffee chain brand. The coffee brand, now owned by beverage major Coca-Cola, is currently among the top ten global markets. "Costa Coffee is aggressively expanding in India, targeting 40-50 new outlets annually despite global economic uncertainties. DIL sees India as a high-potential market, driven by a growing preference for premium coffee among millennials and Gen Z ," said DIL. This trend is manifest in the fact that the coffee space in the country is growing at 10 to 12 per cent, double the rate of global markets. "India, which is among Costa's top 10 markets globally, has the potential to get into the top five markets in five years, and Costa Coffee is just the sweetly aromatic spot to seize this strong opportunity," the report said. According to DIL, India, which is largely a 'chai' (tea) loving nation, is becoming a country of a growing populace of coffee lovers, with a massive cultural shift in its drinking habits over the years. Coffee is now the first love of many Gen Z Indians influenced strongly by Western culture, which is often a part of their work ethos. "At Costa Coffee, this has actuated a strong focus on expanding the brand's presence in high footfall locations, such as airports and multiplexes," said DIL. In the Indian cafe market, Costa Coffee competes with international chains such as Starbucks, Tim Horton, McCafe, and Dunkin'. Besides, local chains like Cafe Coffee Day, Blue Tokai , Third Wave Coffee and Barista are also amplifying their play in the fast-growing cafe market in India.
