KisanKraft Ltd launches electric-powered farm equipment.
KisanKraft Ltd has launched two electric-powered farm equipment -- the E-Inter-cultivator and the E-Self Propelled Reaper.A media statement said the machines will bring energy costs down from approximately ₹170 per hour for comparable petrol-powered equipment to approximately ₹10 per hour in its field trials.The machines have been tested at different geographical locations and agro-climatic conditions in India with different soil types and soil conditions like dry, wet and muddy. These machines have undergone over 100 hours of testing to ensure consistent performance, reliability, and durability, it said.E-Inter-cultivator is built for weeding and intercultural operations that traditionally demand heavy manual labour or petrol-powered equipment. Fitted with 32 J-shaped blades and weighing approximately 150 kg, it covers around one acre per hour and delivers approximately 3.5 hours of continuous operation on a single charge, with a reverse drive for manoeuvring in confined fields.Timely harvestE-Self Propelled Reaper is built for timely harvesting when labour is scarcest. It harvests around one acre per hour across paddy, wheat, millets, and soybean, including moderately wet paddy fields, and delivers approximately four hours of continuous operation on a single charge.Quoting Amit Sharma, CEO of KisanKraft Ltd, the statement said: “For 50 years, the sound of Indian farming has been the roar of the petrol engine -- and the farmer has paid for that roar every single hour, in fuel, in servicing, in breakdowns. We are foraying into electric because mechanisation should make a small farm more profitable, not more expensive to run. When the energy cost of an hour’s work drops from ₹170 to ₹10, a machine stops being a burden and starts paying for itself. The E-Inter-cultivator and E-Self Propelled Reaper are just the beginning -- we are building a full range of electric machines, engineered from the ground up in India, for Indian farms.”Published on July 15, 2026
