Deere Breaks Ground On India Tractor Factory
Deere & Company officials broke ground on the company’s second tractor factory in India, announcing the facility will be constructed in Dewas, which is located northeast of Indore, the largest city in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Deere is investing $80 million to build the factory in Dewas and could eventually add as many as 1,000 employees at that location.
Deere also inaugurated the company’s first factory in India that will build combines. Construction of the factory began in October 2010 and full production is expected to begin later this month at the factory located in Sirhind, which is west of Chandigarh.
