Exide Industries invested Rs 99.99 crore in its wholly owned subsidiary Exide Energy Solutions (EESL) via rights issue of 2.85 crore shares at Rs 35 each (Rs 10 face value plus Rs 25 premium). Total investment in EESL now stands at Rs 5,202.23 crore. Shareholding remains unchanged at 100 percent. Funds will support EESL's greenfield lithium-ion battery plant in Bengaluru.

Continued capital infusion shows commitment to EV battery business. Subsidiary losses may weigh on consolidated earnings. No change in shareholding structure.
