Balwaan Krishi, one of India’s fast-growing agricultural machinery companies, has raised ₹100 crore in Series B funding to accelerate its next phase of growth across manufacturing, distribution and product development.
The round was led by First Bridge India Growth Fund Private Equity, with participation from other institutional investors. The transaction was advised by investment banking firm Right Pillar Advisors.
The fundraise marks an important milestone for Balwaan as it scales its position in India’s growing farm mechanisation market. More than four lakh farmers currently use Balwaan equipment, validating demand for affordable machinery designed specifically for Indian farming conditions.
The new capital will be deployed across three strategic priorities: expanding domestic manufacturing capacity, strengthening Balwaan’s dealer and service network across Southern India, and developing the next generation of farm equipment, enabled with predictive maintenance and IoT capability, including Power Weeders, Battery Sprayers and other mechanisation solutions.
Balwaan’s model is focused on a large but underserved segment of Indian agriculture. Around 86% of Indian farmers are small and marginal farmers cultivating less than two hectares, for whom large agricultural machinery is neither productive nor economically viable.
The company has built its product portfolio around affordability, with equipment ranging from ₹10,000 to a maximum price point of ₹1 lakh. Its hybrid B2B and B2C distribution model includes more than 800+ dealers across Northern India, supported by a growing e-commerce presence.
This combination of growing farmer adoption, affordable products, India-specific design, and an expanding distribution and service network provides Balwaan with a strong platform for long-term growth.
A significant portion of the funding will be used to deepen manufacturing capabilities in India, giving the company greater control over product quality, supply chains and availability while reducing dependence on imported machinery and components.
Balwaan will also expand aggressively into Southern India, strengthening both product availability and after-sales support across key agricultural markets.
Rohit Bajaj, Co-Founder and CEO, Balwaan Krishi, said:
“India’s small and marginal farmers are increasingly facing rising labour costs and pressure to improve productivity, yet access to affordable mechanisation remains limited. More than four lakh farmers already use Balwaan machines, giving us strong validation of the demand for affordable mechanisation.
We have built Balwaan around this opportunity , creating practical, reliable equipment that farmers can afford. This funding allows us to strengthen manufacturing, broaden our reach and continue building products specifically for Indian farming conditions.”
Vishal Gupta, Managing Partner, First Bridge Investment Managers, said: “Balwaan operates at the intersection of a large addressable market, rising farm mechanisation adoption and proven customer demand. The company has built a differentiated position through affordable, farmer-focused products, a strong distribution network and deep relevance among small and marginal farmers. We believe these strengths provide a strong platform for Balwaan to scale sustainably and build a long-term leadership position in the farm mechanisation market.”
