The Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, released IS 19262:2025 – Electric Agricultural Tractors: Test Code in New Delhi.
The Indian Standard (IS) was developed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
It aims to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of electric agricultural tractors through uniform testing protocols.
IS 19262:2025 specifies tests for PTO power, drawbar power, belts and pulleys performance, vibration measurement, and inspection of components and assemblies.
The standard builds on IS 5994:2022 – Agricultural Tractors: Test Code and relevant automotive standards, adapted for electric tractors.
Electric tractors use battery-powered electric motors instead of diesel engines, offering reduced emissions, lower operating costs, quieter operation, and less maintenance.
