Sonalika DI 750 III
₹ 7.16 Lakh – ₹ 7.69 Lakh ex-showroom
Sonalika is International Tractors Ltd, founded in 1969 and run out of Hoshiarpur in Punjab. In FY2025-26 India domestic dispatches it held 12.94%, which makes it the third largest tractor brand in the country and the one that has grown fastest from a standing start.
The proposition is straightforward: more engine and more lift for the money. The 745 DI III Sikander gives 50 HP and 43 PTO HP from 3065 cc with an 1800 kg lift at ₹6.47 lakh — that is Mahindra 575 territory on paper for noticeably less cash. Step up and the DI 750 III is a 3707 cc four-cylinder at 55 HP with 2200 kg lift, which is a serious sugarcane and haulage tractor for under ₹7.7 lakh. The Tiger DI 55 CRDS is the premium end, a 4712 cc common-rail engine at ₹10.08 to ₹10.70 lakh.
There is also a 20 HP GT 20 Gardentrac at ₹3.21 lakh for orchard rows and a small implement line including a 9-tyne cultivator at ₹21,000 and an automatic potato planter.
The honest caveat is service depth. Sonalika sells well but its workshop network is not as evenly spread as Mahindra's, and outside Punjab, Haryana, MP and UP you should confirm where your nearest trained mechanic actually is before you sign.

₹6.47 to ₹6.73 lakh ex-showroom. For that you get 50 HP and 43 PTO HP from a 3065 cc three-cylinder engine with 1800 kg lift, backed by a 2+3 year warranty covering 2000 plus 3000 hours. It is the volume seller in the Sonalika range and the one most dealers stock deepest.
The DI 750 III. It is a 3707 cc four-cylinder making 55 HP and 45.8 PTO HP, with 2200 kg lift, priced ₹7.16 to ₹7.69 lakh. Four cylinders at that displacement give steady torque for a fully loaded cane trolley, and the 2200 kg hydraulics take a heavy mounted implement without complaint.
Only if you run long hours. The CRDS common-rail engine is 4712 cc at 55 HP with 2200 kg lift and a 5-year warranty, and it is quieter and cleaner than the mechanical DI 750 III. But the DI 750 III gives you the same 55 HP and the same lift for around ₹3 lakh less.
