Escorts Kubota has rolled out its latest backhoe loader, the BLX 75, designed to boost efficiency and productivity in earthmoving operations. Launched under the E-Kubota brand, this machine is currently available only in the Indian market. The company has no immediate plans to introduce the BLX 75 internationally, focusing instead on strengthening its domestic product lineup under the E-Kubota banner.

Escorts Kubota, based in Faridabad, Haryana, is a diversified engineering company. Founded in 1944 as Escorts, the company was rebranded in June 2022 after Japan’s Kubota Corporation increased its equity stake. Escorts Kubota now operates across key sectors, including agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and railway systems.

The company offers a variety of tractors under the Farmtrac, Powertrac, and Steeltrac brands, catering to different farming needs. In construction equipment, Escorts Kubota produces backhoe loaders, cranes, and compactors. Its railway division supplies braking systems, couplers, and other components to Indian Railways. Escorts Kubota has manufacturing plants in Faridabad and also operates a facility in Mrągowo, Poland.
