VST Shakti 932 DI
₹ 5.76 Lakh – ₹ 6.34 Lakh ex-showroom
VST Tillers Tractors has been in Bengaluru since 1967, and it came to tractors the way few Indian companies did — from power tillers upward. That history shapes the product: VST understands small machines and wet-field work better than it understands 50 HP field tractors.
Four listings here cover the range. The Shakti 932 DI is a 32 HP three-cylinder of 1642 cc with 24 PTO HP and 1250 kg lift, at ₹5.76 to ₹6.34 lakh, with 2 years or 2000 hours of warranty. The MT 224 1D 4WD, sold as the Ajai, is a 22 HP three-cylinder mini with four-wheel drive and 750 kg lift at ₹4.37 to ₹4.58 lakh — the four-wheel drive at that price is unusual and it is why this machine works in coconut and areca gardens in Karnataka and Kerala. The Shakti 130 DI power tiller rounds it off at ₹1.80 to ₹2.04 lakh.
The number to look at hard is the 932 DI's PTO output. 24 PTO HP from a 32 HP engine is a large transmission loss, and it means the machine will struggle with a rotavator sized for its rated HP. Match your implement to 24 HP, not 32.
VST also has no offering above 32 HP in our data, so it is a small-holding brand only.

It is one of the few genuinely suited machines. 22 HP with 4WD and 750 kg lift at ₹4.37 to ₹4.58 lakh gives you traction on the soft, constantly irrigated soil of a coconut garden and a body narrow enough to work between rows. For basin making, spraying and light haulage it does the job.
24 PTO HP from a 32 HP rated engine. That is a bigger transmission loss than most rivals show, so size your implements to 24 HP. A 4-foot rotavator or a light thresher is realistic; a 5-foot rotavator in dry, compacted soil will pull the revs down.
Not in the range we list on Aglist. The largest VST here is the 32 HP Shakti 932 DI. If you need 40 HP or more for deep ploughing, a big rotavator or loaded trolley work, look at Eicher, Powertrac, Sonalika or Mahindra instead.
