Exide (through its dealers) buys back old batteries from customers and recycle
them in smelters in various parts of the country. They do it through captive and
third-party smelters. Old batteries procured by Exide are recycled and the lead is
sold back to Exide in ingot form. The Company manufactures batteries for E-bikes
and also supplies batteries for Electric four-wheelers. These vehicles are
environment friendly as they do not use fossil fuel. Responsible Buyback
The Company manufactures Idle Start-Stop (ISS) Batteries for motor vehicles. The
engine of these vehicles stop in idling conditions and turns on automatically
thereafter as required which results in fuel savings. The Company’s range of solar
batteries is used to store solar energy and power solar systems which is a non-
conventional and renewable source of energy. The Company has taken up a
program for gradually increasing the quantity of recycled lead for use in its
products. ISS Batteries
The Company has a well laid down Energy Policy and is always striving to
implement measures to reduce GHG emissions. Further, the Company has also
contributed towards conservation and protection of wildlife.
Reducing Carbon Footprint
The Company ensures optimal usage of raw materials and emphasizes on recycling
the waste generated during manufacturing process and also promotes use of
recycled materials. Also, most of the Plants of the Company use recycled waste
water for cleaning and gardening purposes. Bio-gas is also generated from canteen
waste in one of the plants.
Sourcing of Raw Materials
Exide Industries is a storage battery producing company in India. It
