VST Tillers Tractors Ltd.
Company Information
VST Tillers Tractors Limited, established in 1967, pioneered power tillers in India and expanded into compact tractors. Headquartered in Bangalore, the company manufactures Shakti brand mini-tractors and power tillers from 8 HP to 35 HP. VST specializes in compact equipment suitable for small land holdings, horticulture, and plantation farming.
The company’s products are particularly popular in South India, West Bengal, and Northeastern states where small land holdings predominate. VST manufacturing facilities in Bangalore and Hosur produce power tillers, tractors, and agricultural implements. The company pioneered mechanization for small farmers unable to afford full-size tractors.
VST maintains strong distribution networks in traditional markets with specialized service support for compact equipment. Beyond agricultural equipment, VST produces diesel engines and other engineering products diversifying business operations.
