Exide and Amara Raja Report Q2 Results Amid India's Push for Grid-Scale Battery Storage
Exide Industries and Amara Raja Energy Mobility reported contrasting Q2FY27 results, with Exide's profit rising 54% due to strong demand and price hikes, while Amara Raja faced a 5% EBITDA decline amid rising input costs. Both companies are investing heavily in lithium-ion battery technology to adapt to the industry's shift from lead-acid batteries. Meanwhile, India's government approved a Rs 145 billion viability gap funding scheme to develop 92 GWh of grid-scale storage by 2031, including battery energy storage systems, benefiting domestic manufacturers like Exide.
