Solis 5015 E
₹ 7.7 Lakh – ₹ 8.29 Lakh ex-showroom
Solis is the newer brand from International Tractors Ltd, the Hoshiarpur company behind Sonalika, launched in 2016. It shares Sonalika's engineering and factory but is positioned a notch above, with different styling and a more feature-led specification.
We list one Solis model, the 5015 E. It makes 50 HP and 45.8 PTO HP from a 3065 cc three-cylinder engine, lifts 2000 kg, and is priced ₹7.70 to ₹8.29 lakh with a 5-year warranty. The 45.8 PTO HP figure is the one to note — that is only a 4 HP loss through the transmission, so a multi-crop thresher or a 6-foot rotavator gets close to the full engine output. Combined with 2000 kg of lift, that makes it a capable machine for the 8 to 20 acre farmer running mounted implements.
The engine block is the same 3065 cc unit as the Sonalika 745 DI III Sikander, which prices from ₹6.47 lakh. That comparison is the honest problem with Solis in India: for around ₹1.2 lakh less you can buy essentially the same powertrain wearing a Sonalika badge, with a wider dealer presence behind it. Solis makes more sense where the local dealer is a Solis dealer.
| Model | HP | Price | Aglist Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solis 5015 E | 50 | ₹ 7.7 Lakh – ₹ 8.29 Lakh | 7.2/10 |
₹7.70 to ₹8.29 lakh ex-showroom depending on state and variant. That buys a 50 HP three-cylinder of 3065 cc, 45.8 PTO HP, 2000 kg hydraulic lift and a 5-year warranty. On-road cost will run higher once registration, insurance and any dealer accessories are added.
Both come from the same Hoshiarpur plant and share the 3065 cc engine. Solis gives 45.8 PTO HP and 2000 kg lift; the Sikander gives 43 PTO HP and 1800 kg lift for about ₹1.2 lakh less. Unless the extra PTO and lift matter for your implements, the Sonalika is the better value.
Yes. 45.8 PTO HP is enough to drive a 6-foot rotavator through dry stubble ground without dropping revs, and the 2000 kg lift takes the weight of a heavier rotary tiller at the headland turn. In wet paddy puddling the 2WD layout will limit you more than the power does.
