Investing huge amount for a new tractor is not feasible
Engr. I. H. T. Farooqui
The article was written in a national spirit and not by a FLY BY NIGHT operators, the suggestions given in the article supports development of local assembly of tractors and not for the import. Rather it is already pinpointed that a huge amount incurred on import of duty-free tractors can be saved immediately but the government should encourage more tractor plants in the country and should not allow limited manufacturers to enjoy the situation.
First of all it should be made clear that the article does not belong to any lobby but from a nationalist, bringing Government Notice to the facts.

First of all it should be made clear that the article does not belong to any lobby but from a nationalist, bringing Government Notice to the facts.
Now without going into further deliberations and arguments, Para-wise reply to their letter is as under;
1. This is very interesting and an eye opening fact that more than twenty approved projects for assembly -cum-manufacture of tractors are on the list of EDB, but none of the project is materialized because of the mandatory localization in this segment.
The reason is very clear that the tractor industry achieved this target in 20 years span of time, phase-wise, they have invested the money and their resources in 20 years. How can you expect that from the start of the project a new comer can invest a huge amount in achieving this high mount target which the industry achieved in last 20 years. Investing this amount for a new tractor is not feasible because of the low volumes in the initial stage.
We are not denying the importance of the localization that's why a reasonable time frame is requested till a new comer catches the present level of indiginization, which the industry achieved in the last 20 years...
2. There is a supply demand gap in this segment that's why the Government is compelled to allow duty free import of tractors. Poor farmers are not getting their tractors on the promises time, the quality of the locally assembled tractors is also a silent question.
Yes, at present the farmers are not taking delivery of their long awaited booked tractors because of various schemes announced by the Government, but the queue is still there... (Refer MTL annual report 2008 page 17 and 18 (Marketing operations), please also refer to Al Ghazi Annual report 2007, Graphs (Production) page No. 9, the total supply demand gap during the start of financial year 2008-09 was about 30,000 tractors.
In year 2004-05 the industry booked 57,915 units and delivered 44,231 units (pending 13,684 units,) in 2005-06 the industry booked 77,261 units and delivered 49,462 units (accumulated pending orders (41,483), in 2006-07 industry booked 39,386 units and delivered 54,325 units (accumulated pending order 26,542), in 2007-08 the industry booked 56,097 units and delivered 53,470 units (the present pending orders is 29,169 units). (Refer Annual reports of both assemblers for the stated years).
3. Very interesting fact that the loaning is only 22% of the total bookings of the industry, whereas the remaining 78% booking is Cash booking with the manufacturers.
4. Yes, it's true that ZBTL and other banks not paid the payment in advance but after the tractor delivery is made, but what about those 78% tractors which are booked on Cash with the manufacturers in 100% advance and for which the waiting time is almost 8~16 months.
5. The reply to this is same as of 1.
6. No comments
7. The installed capacity of both the manufacturers is 30,000 units per annum in the single shift basis and not 60,000 units in single shift basis. (Refer MTL 2008 annual report page No.116 Capacity and Production and Al Ghazi Tractors Annual Report 2007 page 54 Graphs showing plant capacity 15,000 units.
