Let us remind you that the e-tractor will be unveiled in March 2020 by the Hyderabad-based Celestial E-Mobility. Here are some of the tractor's unique features.

• The 6 HP electric tractors can travel 75 kilometers on a single charge. It has a top speed of 20 kilometers per hour. According to the company, their 6 HP tractor is equivalent to a 21 HP diesel tractor.
