Profile

 

Standard Tractors is a sibling company of the well-known manufacturing company ‘Standard Combines Private Limited’, which is one of the leading manufacturers of self-propelled and tractor-driven combines (Combine Harvesters) since 1975. The Standard Group of Companies, created and led by Sardar Nachhattar Singh, is serving the farmers by manufacturing and providing various types of high quality agricultural machinery over last two decades. The parent organization M/S Standard Combines Private Limited is a company incorporated under the ‘Companies Act 1956’ with Registrar of Companies Jallandhar vides Registration No. 16-22397 of 1999. The Registered Office of the company is situated at Standard Chowk, Barnala - 148101, Punjab, India. The company not only supplies its prime product ‘combines’ to the farmers and farms all over India, but also exports the product to South African countries. The tractor-driven combine-harvester model ‘TSC-513’ is the most popular model among the Indian farmers.

 

In ‘Standard Tractors’, tractors are being manufactured in the range of 35, 45, 50, 60, and 75 hp, since FY 2000, with respective model names: Standard 335,  Standard 345, Standard 450, Standard 460, and Standard 475. Engines for all these tractor models, except the last one, are manufactured within the plant as ‘Standard Engines’, in specific names – SE 335, SE 345, SE 450 and SE 460, respectively. All the above-mentioned models of Standard Engines have shown compliance to the TREM-III emission norms, as have been verified by the ARAI. However, two new variants of tractor of 35 hp (Standard 335-I) and 45 hp (Standard 345-I), equipped with famous Perkins engines (assembled within the Standard Tractors plant), and two completely new models of tractor of 30 hp (Standard 330) and 40 hp (Standard 340) are on the verge to be launched. Besides these, three 3-wheelers (two passenger-carriers and one cargo), one 4-wheeler (cargo), a crane, an electric 3-wheeled mini-car, and two 2-wheelers (scooters) are either in the process of development or on the verge of launch from the Standard Tractor Division. 

 

Below is given an enumeration of the products of Standard Combines Private Limited and its sibling companies.

 

1.Tractor-driven harvester combines: The most popular model is ‘TSC 513. Another model is C-412. The company (Standard Combines) is producing around 800 nos. per annum. These are sold within India and exported to South African countries as well.

2.Self-propelled harvester combines: Standard Combines is producing around 500 nos. per annum. These are sold within India and also exported.

3.Self-propelled straw reaper: The only model is C-417. The company (Standard Combines) has produced and sold few units and is ready to manufacture more as per demand

4.Tractors: Standard Tractors is now manufacturing 7 models (mentioned earlier), around 5000 nos. per annum. Exporting to South African countries.

5.Three-wheelers/ four-wheelers: Based on three models of 3-wheelers – two passenger carriers (‘Standard Leader’ and ‘Standard NS-38’) and one cargo (Standard Sharp), and one model of 4-wheeler (Standard NS-49), Standard Tractors will start mass production soon, initially 100 nos. per annum per model.

6.Cranes: A model of hydraulic mobile crane (HMC 9000) is under final stage of processing for ARAI approval. They will start its mass production soon, initially 60 nos. per annum.

7.Front-loader and excavator: The Company is producing few nos. per annum, in response to demand.

8.Electric mini car: A 4-seater 3-wheeled battery-and-motor operated mini car will be produced. It is in the advanced stage of development in Standard Tractors.

9.Scooters and Motorcycles: One scooter model has already been developed and plans for developing a series of motorcycle models are on. However, the 2-wheelers would be produced under next product expansion scheme. 

 

It would be worthwhile to mention that besides the Tractor division and the Combine Division, The Standard Group is opening a new venture – the Engine Division, wherein primarily two models of engines – SE 335 and SE 347.5 will be manufactured, with an initial target of 300 engines per month for each of the two models. Sardar Nachhattar Singh will be the MD of the Engine Division. Under his initiative, an effort is underway to make collaboration with the famous Polish company “EKO Diesels” for manufacturing the basic Perkins engines in joint venture.

 

Sardar Nachhattar Singh is the founder Chairman of the Standard Combines Private Limited and Managing Director of the ‘Standard Tractors’ Division. He comes of a Sikh Ramgarhia family which hails from a small village named Handiaya of Tehsil Barnala, Distt. Sangrur, in Punjab. He is an industrial entrepreneur, a soft-speaking man of firm determination, with innate simple living and high thinking habits. He has dedicated his life for the development and invention of agricultural and earth-moving machinery and transportation equipment and vehicles to help the farming community and general mass of India for mechanized cultivation and better transportation of people and goods, aiming at contributing to the overall development and progress of the country. His endevour and innovative ventures have been useful for thousands of people in India for their livelihood and betterment of life. His competent brother Sardar Joginder Singh is the Managing Director of the ‘Combine Division’ and also serving as the Joint Managing Director of M/S Standard Combines Private Limited He is a simple-living, sympathetic, God-fearing and hardworking person.

 

The Standard Group of Companies, created and guided by Sardar Nachhattar Singh, is well-known in India for its products and services provided to the farmers interested in mechanized cultivation and transportation. The parent company ‘Standard Combines Private Limited’ started its business from a low level. Because of its qualitative products and after-sale service policies, it has now become a leader among the agricultural machinery manufacturers. It has been the market leader in manufacturing and selling Tractor Driven Combine Harvester in India for last two decades. The Standard Group of Companies is now giving stiff competition among the tractor manufacturers because of its fine quality tractors. Evidently it is soon becoming a market leader in passenger and cargo vehicles and battery operated pollution-free mini cars, besides its present lead in the market for Combine Harvesters and Tractors. The company is manufacturing engines for its tractors, and now also opening a separate ‘Engine Division’ to manufacture and sale pollution-free diesel engines to the prospective Indian and foreign customers. It is also making earth-moving vehicles (front-end loaders and excavators; cranes; etc.) and now making foray into the heavily competitive 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers segments of automotives. Thus the Standard Group of Companies is developing and expanding with multiple production lines, in order to make a mark in the Manufacturing Industry sector of India, and to help the agrarian community as well as the general people of the country.
