Description

EIL is the first battery company in the country to introduce polypropylene case batteries and maintenance-free batteries. It is also the pioneer of several new technologies like flat-plate, and tubular plate batteries.

By virtue of being the largest Sealed Maintenance Free(SMF) batteries in Asia outside Japan, the Company has earned the status of a global supplier to American Power Conversion, the largest UPS manufacturer in the world. Besides, it also caters to other multinationals operating within the country i.e. Siemens and Ericsson and other major players such as TVSE, HTL, Tata Liebert, Numeric and ITI.

The Company has always believed in working closely with the Government in developing and sustaining applications which are best suited to the country's national interest. It has tried to do its bit for the country by providing batteries specially tailored for Bofors guns, armoured vehicles and tanks, wireless transmission, solar applications in remote areas and devising anti pollution masks among others. The country's first battery powered electric boat, designed and developed by EIL is an extension of its social initiatives and it contributes towards building an eco-friendly and pollution free nation.

Exide was the first to introduce batteries for electric vehicles, traction batteries for electric wheelchairs, flat-plate batteries for golf carts and batteries for automated guided vehicles.

In an agrarian economy such as India, the farm sector is one which cannot be ignored. Accordingly, Exide's avowed objective was to cater to the tractor segment as a thrust area. Its major initiative, Project Kissan, has made steady inroads into the rural regions, particularly those of the North and West. This has helped to spread consciousness among the rural populace on the need to use eco friendly and technologically superior batteries. Exide has made extensive use of Kissan Melas and Dhabas to promote this scheme and has introduced "Jai Kissan" battery to cater to the replacement market in this segment. In furthering its social commitment, EIL has planned to adopt select villages to improve social welfare.

The Company exports batteries which have captured niches in South East Asian and European markets.
