What Do Exide Industries’ Q2 Numbers Reveal About Its Near-Term Outlook?

About Exide Industries

Exide Industries is one of India’s largest manufacturers of lead-acid batteries with presence across automotive, industrial, power backup and emerging new-age storage solutions. The company is also scaling up its lithium-ion initiatives through Exide Energy to align with electrification trends.

Exide’s Q2 performance reflects weakening auto OEM demand, soft aftermarket volumes, and margin pressure from input costs and competitive pricing.

Metric Q2 FY YoY QoQ
Revenue ₹4,364 Cr −2% −7%
EBITDA ₹391.84 Cr −17% −27%
EBITDA Margin 8.98% vs 10.62% vs 11.47%
PAT ₹172 Cr −26% −37%

Revenue ₹4,364 Cr — muted auto demand and softer industrial segment weighed on topline.
