Tractor Junction, a popular online platform that helps farmers buy, sell, and finance used tractors, has just raised $22.5 million (about ₹200 crore) in its Series A funding round. The money was led by a European fund called Astanor, with help from its earlier investors Info Edge Ventures and Omnivore. The company plans to use this money to make its website and app smarter with AI, open more shops across India, and grow its loan service called FINJ so more farmers can easily afford tractors. Tractor Junction already sells around 300 used tractors every month and has given out loans worth over ₹1,500 crore. With this new funding, it aims to become the biggest and best tractor marketplace for rural India!
About Tractor Junction New Funding
Tractor Junction just got a big boost: $22.5 million (around ₹200 crore) in fresh funding!
This is called a Series A round. A big European fund named Astanor led the investment and gave the most money. Two old friends of the company, Info Edge Ventures and Omnivore, also joined in.
Out of the $22.5 million:
- $17 million is new shares (equity)
- $5.5 million is borrowed money (debt)
This is the biggest funding the company has received so far. Before this, they had raised only about $5.7 million. Now their total funding is more than $28 million!
With this new money, Tractor Junction will grow faster and help more farmers across India.
