KMW Mega T 15
₹ 2.85 Lakh ex-showroom
KMW is a Kirloskar company operating from Pune, and Kirloskar has been an Indian engineering name since 1888. In farm machinery the group is known first for pumps and engines, and the power tiller line draws on that engine background.
The one model we list is the Mega T 15, a 15 HP single-cylinder of 995 cc, walk-behind on a single axle, priced ₹2.85 lakh. Fifteen horsepower is the top of the power tiller class in India, and it is the size that actually does field work rather than garden work. At 995 cc the engine has enough displacement to keep pulling through wet paddy puddling without stalling when the rotary blades load up, which is where smaller tillers give trouble.
Where a machine like this earns its place is on holdings of one to three acres, in terraced hill fields, and in paddy country where you need to work standing water. It costs a fraction of a tractor, stores in a shed and can be carried through a field bund gap.
The price is the argument against it. At ₹2.85 lakh, the Mega T 15 costs more than the 20 HP Captain 200 DI four-wheel tractor at ₹2.94 lakh minimum and the Swaraj 717 at ₹3.19 lakh. If your land is dry and reachable, a small tractor gives you a seat, a linkage and haulage for similar money.

₹2.85 lakh. It is a 15 HP single-cylinder power tiller of 995 cc, walk-behind on a single axle. At the top of the power tiller class, it is intended for real field work including paddy puddling, not just weeding between vegetable rows.
In wet paddy fields, small terraced hill plots and anywhere a tractor cannot turn, yes. On dry, accessible land a mini tractor is more comfortable, gives you a three-point linkage and can pull a trolley. Since the Mega T 15 costs about the same as a Captain 200 DI, compare the two carefully.
Yes, that is one of its main uses. A 995 cc engine at 15 HP has enough displacement to keep the rotary blades turning in saturated soil where a smaller tiller stalls. Puddling is also where a walk-behind machine beats a wheeled tractor, since it does not sink and get stuck.
