TAFE History

• The Amalgamations Group entered the tractor
  business in 1960. Simpson Company was already
  making Perkins Diesel Engines and the founder
  chairman of the group, Mr.Anantharamakrishnan's
  own great interest in agriculture and the Green
  Revolution in making, made the group grab the
  opportunity to make tractors when it presented
  itself. Standard Motor Products of India Limited
  had been assembling Massey Ferguson tractors in
  India for Massey Ferguson India, which was a
  Bangalore based company handling the entire MF
  business in India. On December 15, 1960, Mr.
  S. Anantharamakrishnan announced at a press
  conference at Chennai, his plans to manufacture
  tractors and implements at Simpson's Industrial
  Estate in collaboration with Massey Ferguson of
  Toronto. At that time, the estimated demand for
  tractors in India was 12,000 tractors per year
  and TAFE was allocated a capacity of 7,000
  tractors a year. Initially 50 of the tractor was
  built with indigenous content but within two
  years this rose to 85.
