ABOUT US:
3. Our Vision:
The philosophy that drives TAFE was first enunciated by its CMD in 1992. "To us in TAFE, Excellence is not
something that we engineer, inspect and input into our tractors. It is an innate desire to attain the best that comes
from within each of us. It defines our lives at work and at home and ripples out into the world around us" (Source:
Corporate Film-1992).
This inspired TAFE to evolve its Vision & Values in 1999, through a company-wide participative exercise with
external facilitation from IIM, Bangalore. The Vision & Values statement captures key elements of TAFE's culture,
strengths and aspirations. Subsequently, Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), UK, facilitated each element of
the V&V being linked to CSFs of the company to translate 'Vision' to 'Reality' through a Vision to Reality Plan
(VTRP) that forms basis of the company's Business Plan.
To achieve the distinction of being the first choice among the farming community of India and ensure a growing
presence in international markets through setting leadership standards of performance and customer care in the
agricultural machinery business.

TAFE's core values define our beliefs, principles and practices. It outlines the conduct of business in our everyday
lives, dictates our overarching vision and corporate strategy.

Implements:
While tractorization is restricted to primary
and secondary tillage and substantial use of
haulage, and with the cost benefit equation
changing with increase in labour, it is
important to provide models of
mechanization that are relevant to small and
marginal farms.
With a foresight that moving from
tractorization to spearheading
mechanization is the key to improve farm
productivity and rein in labor costs, TAFE
has been collaborating with world
technology leaders to establish its
Applications Business Unit (ABU) to
efficiently answer the emerging needs of the
global farming community.

Agro Engines:
All the engines in this segment are air-cooled,
and can run for long durations at high ambient
temperatures, thereby increasing the
productivity and profits of the customer. Agro
Engines have no need for a coolant and are
almost completely maintenance free since there
is no radiator, water pump, or thermostat valve,
bypassing the usual problems of leakages and
radiator choking.
