Escorts Limited pioneered farm mechanization in the country by launching Escorts Agricultural Machines Limited in 1948, with a franchise of the U.S.-based Minneapolis Moline, for marketing tractors, implements, engines & other farm equipments. In 1960, the company set up the strategic Agri Machinery Group (AMG) to venture into production and marketing of tractors and rolled out its first batch of tractors in 1965 under the '‘Escorts' brand name. In 1969, a separate company, Escorts Tractors Ltd. was established with equity participation of Ford Motor Co., Basildon, UK for the manufacture of Ford agricultural tractors in India. In the year 1996, Escorts Tractors Ltd. formally merged with Escorts AMG.
