Exide Industries reports under a single operating segment: “Storage Batteries and Allied Products.” However, performance across verticals shows:
Automotive Replacement: Strong double-digit growth across geographies
Industrial UPS & Solar: Continued traction with fresh government-backed demand
OEMs: Weak performance due to muted 2W/4W segment demand
Exports: De-grew YoY due to global macro headwinds and tariff uncertainty
Lithium-Ion Project: ₹3,702 crore invested; operations expected by end FY26
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Avik Roy, MD & CEO, said: “Q1 FY26 was characterised by tough macroeconomic conditions, continuous pressure from input costs with low manufacturing sector growth and de-growth in the most of the automotive OEM segments. In this environment, the company's priority has been on managing profitable growth and focusing on better product mix. The Company continues to deliver stable performance along with maintaining strong balance sheet and positive cash flow generation, thereby establishing the strength of our brand and trade network.”
