The Sonalika Group began as a manufacturer of agricultural implements before expanding into tractor production. International Tractors Limited was established to design and produce tractors under the Sonalika brand, with a focus on indigenous engineering and competitive pricing for the Indian rural market. Over time, the company also entered the export market, supplying tractors to several countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
The company operates a manufacturing facility at Hoshiarpur in Punjab, which houses tractor assembly lines along with associated component manufacturing. Sonalika produces tractors across a broad horsepower range, with engines and transmissions developed in-house. Apart from tractors, the group's product portfolio extends to combine harvesters, multi-utility vehicles, and a variety of farm implements.
Sonalika sells tractors through a dealer network spread across India and exports under brand names tailored to specific markets. The company's product line caters to diverse applications including paddy and wheat cultivation, horticulture, haulage, and commercial farming. Sonalika has at various times collaborated with international partners for technology and distribution.
As one of India's largest tractor manufacturers, Sonalika plays a notable role in the country's agricultural mechanisation. The company's emphasis on affordable, locally engineered tractors has contributed to mechanisation among small and medium landholders, while its export operations have helped position Indian-made tractors in global agricultural markets.
