About Exide Industries

History 

Exide Industries Ltd, headquartered in Kolkata, India, stands as a prominent Indian multinational specialising in the manufacturing of storage batteries, particularly lead-acid batteries. As the largest producer of these batteries in India, Exide also serves as a key provider of power storage solutions. The company boasts 10 state-of-the-art factories scattered across five Indian states, with eight dedicated to lead-acid batteries and two focusing on Home UPS Systems. These manufacturing facilities are strategically located in Maharashtra, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, and Gujarat. Expanding its global footprint, Exide operates manufacturing units in Sri Lanka, the UK, and Singapore, conducting business worldwide through subsidiaries and international affiliates. With a robust network of over 95,000 distributors, dealers, and sub-dealers, Exide exports its batteries to more than 60 countries. In response to the evolving energy storage landscape, Exide has diversified its portfolio by venturing into the production of lithium-ion battery modules and packs. This initiative, facilitated by its subsidiary Exide Energy Private Limited (branded as Nexcharge), addresses the burgeoning electric vehicle market and stationary applications in India. Moreover, the establishment of Exide Energy Solutions Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary, signals the company's entry into multi-giga-watt hour lithium-ion cell manufacturing, with a new plant underway in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Exide's commitment to sustainable practices is evident through Chloride Metals Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary operating three advanced lead recycling facilities in West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. Delving into its historical roots, Exide's journey in India began with the inception of the Chloride Electrical Storage Company (CESCO) in 1920. Initially serving as an assembly and manufacturing unit, the company established its first manufacturing facility in Shyamnagar, West Bengal, in 1947. Over the years, Exide's impact extended beyond road vehicles, supplying batteries for railways and contributing to national defence efforts. The company's growth trajectory included the establishment of a second factory in Chinchwad, Maharashtra, in 1969, strategically positioned near automobile Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Exide's resilience and adaptability are evident in its constant innovations, modernisation of manufacturing processes, and commitment to service excellence. Celebrating 75 years of corporate existence in India in 2022, Exide Industries continues to be a stalwart in the energy storage industry, shaping the landscape of battery technology on a global scale.
