Way back in 1920 the VST Group made a humble start by dealing in petroleum products. Using this strong base, the Group quickly diversified into automotive marketing and after-sales service. From this activity grew the network of the organization throughout the southern states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

With this firm foundation, the Group further diversified into manufacturing and promoted M/s. VST Tillers Tractors Limited in 1965,  in association and joint venture with the Mitsubishi Group, Japan. The factory was set up on the outskirts of Bangalore and began with the production of single cylinder Diesel Engines and Power Tillers (2-Wheeled Tractors).

In 1984, VST Tillers Tractors Limited entered into an additional technical and financial collaboration again with the  Mitsubishis, Japan, for manufacture of compact four wheel drive tractor with rotary.

The tradition and culture of the VST Group continues in this Company in spite of it having adopted new management techniques to face global challenges.
