L&T-John Deere Private Limited (LTJD) was set up in 1997, and began production in 2000, as a 50-50 joint venture between Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) and Deere & Co. to manufacture tractors in Sanaswadi, Pune, Maharashtra, India.[1] The tractors were John Deere design and colors, and bore the L&T-John Deere brand name.
