Exide's dual bet: Can lithium-ion offset a weakening core?
Mint Ahmedabad
|November 20, 2025
Exide Industries Ltd is struggling to fuel its core lead-acid business while simultaneously turning its capex-heavy lithium-ion venture into a viable second growth engine.
Investors remain wary—the stock is down 9% in CY25 so far. September quarter (Q2FY26) earnings were soft, hurt by channel destocking across auto replacement, UPS and solar following goods and services tax (GST) cuts.
A prolonged monsoon further weakened home-UPS demand. Revenue fell 2% year-on-year to ₹4,178 crore. Exide expects a rebound in H2FY26 as distributors rebuild inventory and OEM demand improves.
Operating margin slipped 180 basis points (bps) to 9.4% in Q2FY26, hit by weak revenue, higher input costs and an extended producer responsibility (EPR) provision.
