Here’s a summary of what I found about CNH’s “Made-in-India Compact Tractor” and related developments, plus what seems likely / still unclear. If you want I can dig up more detailed spec sheets.

What we do know
1. CNH to strengthen compact tractor portfolio via partnership with LS Tractor
CNH Industrial has expanded its agreement with LS Tractor (Korean OEM) to localise production of certain compact tractor models in India (Greater Noida) and at the LS plant in South Korea.
2. Localization and engine plant
CNH has launched a plant in Greater Noida to manufacture the 2.8 L “F28 / TREM-V” engine, developed under license from FPT Industrial, targeting around 90% localization of components.
This engine is intended for both construction equipment and agriculture; once TREM-V emission norms are fully applied, it may power more agricultural machinery.
3. New product launches
The WORKMASTER 105 is one such major made-in-India tractor: first 100+ HP TREM-IV compliant model by CNH in India. Specs include ~106 HP, ~3,500 kg lift capacity, 4WD with electro-hydraulic engagement, air-suspended seat, etc. Priced around ₹29.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
Also, the Blue Series SIMBA 30 is a sub-30 HP compact tractor by New Holland (CNH) designed for specialty/farm segment (orchards, vineyards, etc.). It has 29 HP, 3-cyl Mitsubishi engine, 9 forward + 3 reverse gears, ~750 kg lift, narrow track + other implements compatibility.
4. Production capacity & ambitions
The Greater Noida factory currently makes ~60,000 tractors annually, scalable to ~70,000.
CNH plans to invest more in India to increase its market share (from ~4-5% currently) to a double-digit percentage over the next few years.

What is less clear / still emerging
Exact specs of the “compact tractor” said to be unveiled
The phrase “Made-in-India Compact Tractor” may refer to either the Blue Series SIMBA 30, or future compact models under development in partnership with LS, or possibly something newer. Some articles are vague.
Price, delivery, and availability
While the WORKMASTER 105’s price is known (~₹29.5 lakh), for many of the compact ones, exact launch timeline, prices across states, dealer availability etc. are not fully in the public domain yet.
How much of the tractor is “localised”
For the engine plant, component localisation is high (goal ~90%), but for whole tractor — chassis, transmission, etc. — the degree of localisation in compact tractor models remains to be confirmed.
Emission norms / regulatory compliance
CNH is preparing for TREM-IV and TREM-V norms (emission requirements). Whether the “compact tractor” adheres already to TREM-V or will switch later is not fully specified.

If you like, I can pull up a comparison spec chart between the new CNH compact tractor and competitors (say Mahindra, John Deere etc.), or try to get exact specs (horsepower, lift capacity, gear counts) of the latest model that was “unveiled.” Want me to do that?
