Speaking on the corporate development that is luring retail investors of the stock market Amarjeet Maurya, AVP - Mid Caps at Angel Broking said, "Escorts has reported  around 17 per cent Volume growth in 11MFY21 ( in 11 months of FY 2020-21 or April to February in FY21) on back of positive macroeconomic factors and strong rural cash flows. The supply side situation is normal, but rising inflation continues to be a worry. Hence, the company is taking the price of its tractors from 1st April 2021. There has been a steady rise in commodity prices necessitating a price hike to offset the impact of the inflation. The increase in prices vary from models and variants. Thus, overall this is a positive development for the company, which would support profitability going ahead.”
