Accordingly,  based  on  the  request  from  various  State  Governments,  it  was decided to establish more number of FMTTIs. However later on Government dropped the proposal and decided to strengthen the existing FMTTIs and other Testing Institutes available in the country.

Accordingly, at present there is no proposal for establishment of  new Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute (FMTTI).
