Exide Industries posted Q1 FY27 standalone revenue of Rs. 5,305 Cr, up 17.6% YoY. EBITDA rose 19.5% to Rs. 655 Cr with margin at 12.4%, up 20 bps YoY and 70 bps QoQ. Standalone PAT grew 27.1% to Rs. 407 Cr, lifting EPS to Rs. 4.79. Consolidated PAT was Rs. 351 Cr. Growth was broad-based across automotive OEM (25%+ YoY for the third quarter in a row), replacement, inverters and solar (20%+), industrial and exports (20%+). The company remains debt-free with strong cash flow. Subsidiary EESL infused Rs. 100 Cr more equity; its Bengaluru gigafactory has all four production lines installed and dispatched first cell samples, with revenue expected to begin in FY27.
Strong Q1 with broad-based double-digit growth, margin expansion and a debt-free balance sheet. Lithium-ion gigafactory adds long-term upside.
