Pawan Goenka, managing director, Mahindra & Mahindra, said, “We are working on a program for developing a new tractor platform called K2. It will have 4 tractor variants. These will be designed for both domestic and international markets. The work is primarily done in Japan in co-operation with Mitsubishi Agriculture Machinery."
