In a bid to offset rising input costs, battery maker Exide Industries has hiked prices of its automotive batteries by 5-6 per cent, with effect from July 5, 2013. The company has been facing pressure on its margins due to the depreciating rupee. The rupee which has been trading around the psychological 60 mark against the dollar has been denting the company's margins.

Exide Industries manufactures the widest range of storage batteries in the world from 2.5 Ah to 20,400 Ah capacities, covering the broadest spectrum of applications. EIL is India’s largest producer of automotive and industrial batteries, with seven manufacturing plants strategically located across the country.
