For owners of compact tractors, the new launch means a locally‑made engine that meets the toughest emissions standards without ballooning the price tag.
15 HP and 18 HP engines are single‑cylinder, ARAI‑certified TREM V, and feature an indigenous exhaust gas recirculation system that slashes NOx. Compact packaging, improved cooling, and a low‑maintenance design are the hallmark of the platform.
These units slot neatly into Fieldmarshal’s Shridev line—12 HP, 15 HP, and 18 HP variants—positioning the brand against Mahindra’s 12 HP and Ashok Leyland’s 18 HP machines in the under‑20 HP segment. The move is a direct answer to farmers demanding a smaller, cheaper yet compliant engine.
India’s TREM V mandate has pushed manufacturers to cut emissions; a domestic engine cuts import duty and aligns with the government’s push for indigenous powertrains. Fieldmarshal’s patent filings on the technology back up their claim of engineering prowess.
Rishi Patel, Director at Fieldmarshal, said the launch “demonstrates the growing capabilities of indigenous Indian engineering.” The company now aims to capture 10–15 % of the below‑20 HP tractor market within three years.
The engines are already available for Shridev tractors, and buyers can place orders right away. Keep an eye on future variants as the brand expands its portfolio.
