On the farm equipment side, tractor volumes are expected to grow at 16.2% in FY17E on the prospects of better monsoon (after 2 consecutive years of tepid rainfall). With increasing competition in the industry coupled with various product launches by the company, we expect decent surge in marketing expenses.
