CNH, parent firm of New Holland and Case IH tractors, on Tuesday formally opened a new manufacturing unit in Uttar Pradesh. The ceremony took place in the Yamuna Motorway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) sector near Jewar airport on Nov 12, 2026. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, CNH Chair Suzanne Heywood, CNH CEO Gerrit Marx and CNH India Region President Narinder Mittal were present.
Key Details: New CNH Tractor Plant at YEIDA
The new plant of CNH will build tractors and engines for the Indian market and for export. The firm said it will boost its manufacturing capacity in India to meet the growing demand for Made-in-India tractors.
Size and Location of facility: The new facility would be set up across an area of 100 acres at YEIDA near Jewar airport in Uttar Pradesh. It's a greenfield project, meaning it's being built on new land from the ground up, as opposed to expanding an existing plant.
Tractor Production Capacity: The CNH Jewar plant will have the capacity to produce 100,000 tractors per year at full scale. CNH said this will help future growth in domestic and foreign markets.
When Will Production Start?: The first phase of the plant is projected to be up and running by mid-2028.
Tractors and Engines for India and Export: The plant will manufacture tractors and engines for Indian farmers and also for consumers in other nations. This would reinforce CNH India’s status as a manufacturing and export hub.
How CNH’s Existing Setup in India Will Fit the New Plant
Greater Noida already produces tractors and engines, Pune produces balers, combine harvesters and sugarcane harvesters. The new facility would leverage the business’s first tractor plant in Greater Noida and the proximity to the industrial hub and the state’s excellent transportation and industrial infrastructure, the company said.
What the CNH Leaders Said:
India is becoming an increasingly strategic player in CNH’s global manufacturing and technology ecosystem', said CEO Gerrit Marx. “Ground breaking of our new facility at YEIDA is a milestone in expanding our manufacturing footprint and enhancing our ability to serve our customers in India and across the world. This investment is a vote of confidence in India’s manufacturing skills, engineering expertise and long-term growth potential and further strengthens the country’s role in CNH’s global operations.”
"We are committed to bringing world class technology and innovation to Indian farmers, supporting mechanisation and economic growth," said Narinder Mittal, President, CNH India Region. “This new facility will build on the legacy of our first tractor plant in Greater Noida and will strengthen and expand our existing footprint, taking advantage of proximity to our current operations and the state’s strong connectivity and industrial ecosystem.
Technologies and Sustainability Plans in the New Plant
The plant is being developed with digital devices and automation in mind, with an emphasis on cleaner manufacturing, CNH said.
Automation, Robotics and AI Quality Check
The plant will utilise robotics, automation and AI-driven quality systems. CNH says these will increase speed, accuracy and quality of production.
Green Practices of Production
The plant will also incorporate renewable energy, water recycling, green logistics and waste recovery. The goal is to make production more efficient and better for the environment.
What this means for local economy and farmers
The initiative is also anticipated to boost the local economy. CNH believes it will boost the local supply base and create jobs and more opportunities in logistics, services and technology.
Assistance for Farm Mechanisation
CNH wants to meet the growing demand for tractors from Indian farmers and also export the Made-in-India tractors to other nations, with additional tractors being manufactured in India.
