New Holland Fiat (India) Pvt. Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary of CNH Global NV (Case New Holland) and part of Fiat Industrial, announced the introduction of GPS/GPRS enabled technology in tractors. Bringing a revolution in the Indian Tractor industry, the
company launched the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology on its tractors under the name of 'Sky Watch'. This technology will enable farmers to monitor and trace their tractors and tractor 's health and performance for better control and maintenance, easy operations and improved productivity.

New Holland displayed its first Sky Watch at PAU Kisan Mela at Ludhiana. Visitors were extremely curious to know more about the Sky Watch. The innovative Sky Watch turned out to be the main attraction at the PAU Kisan Mela gathering a huge crowd and a positive response..

Bed Singh from Village Sulad, District Sangrur, instantly booked and purchased the first Sky Watch on the spot. On the occasion of taking delivery Bed Singh mentioned, "I am a proud owner of 3 New Holland tractors and extremely delighted with the performance of New Holland tractors in field as well as their compatibility with various implements.
