Launched in November 2004, Angad has been well accepted by the farmers. More than 5000 Angad tractors are running in the Indian soil right now. A survey shows that 90% of the buyers of Angad tractors are first time owners of the tractor; this is in contrast with the tractor industry scenario where about 50% of the sales come from the replacement market.
Manufacturing strategy
SAS Motors Limited follows a model of sourcing standardised mass-produced components available at an economic price and adding a few selected customised components to enhance the efficiency of the tractor and make it suitable for the specific applications in the Indian condition.
