Hyundai Motor India has signed a binding term sheet with Exide Industries' subsidiary Exide Energy Solutions, for the production and supply of battery cells for HMIL's electric vehicles dedicated to the Indian market.
The Term Sheet formalises the intent of HMIL to onboard EESL as a supplier of lithium-ion cells and battery packs for use in its electric vehicles.
The proposed arrangement, once the Definitive Agreements are executed, is expected to accelerate the development and production of electric vehicles, contributing to the growth of sustainable transportation solutions in India.
As per an exchange filing on Thursday, the Indian unit of South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co., the battery cells will be purchased at a price as prescribed in the term sheet.
The definitive agreements, which will follow this term sheet, are poised to catalyze the growth of EV production, contributing to the nation’s green energy transition.
While the exact revenue potential from this partnership remains to be disclosed, the agreement represents a promising avenue for Exide Industries to capitalize on the expanding EV market. Hyundai Motor India, being a subsidiary of the global Hyundai Motor Company group, brings substantial expertise and scale, making the collaboration a potentially transformative step for both companies in the competitive EV space.
This development aligns with India's growing emphasis on electric mobility, backed by government incentives and a pressing need to reduce carbon emissions. By joining forces, Exide and Hyundai not only reaffirm their commitment to sustainability but also pave the way for enhanced domestic production capabilities in the EV battery segment. This partnership sets a benchmark for industry collaboration in fostering innovation and meeting the demands of an electrified future.
A term sheet is a non-binding document that outlines the key terms and conditions of a proposed agreement or transaction between parties. It serves as a blueprint for negotiations, helping both sides reach a mutual understanding before formalizing the arrangement in a definitive, legally binding agreement.
