Exide Industries Limited reported standalone revenue of Rs. 4,030 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, representing a 4.7% year-over-year increase. The growth was primarily driven by the automotive Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and replacement markets. The company maintained an EBITDA margin of 11.7% despite rising raw material costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulatory Milestones and Segment Updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GST 2.0 reforms provided a boost to the battery industry during the quarter. Automotive battery GST rates shifted from 28% to 18%, while solar power rates moved from 12% to 5%.

The company’s market capitalization stands at over Rs. 30,000 crore. Management indicates that macroeconomic conditions in India remain favorable with low inflation and positive consumer sentiment. However, high prices for metals like copper, silver, and tin are creating cost pressures. The corporate priority remains managing profitable growth and preserving cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
