Exicom Tele-Systems Limited, a leading Indian manufacturer of EV charging and critical power solutions, has successfully raised around INR 2.59 billion through its recently concluded Rights Issue. The offering, which saw strong oversubscription, highlights sustained investor confidence and robust promoter support.
The Rights Issue, open from 15 to 30 July 2025, allotted 1,814,000 fully paid-up equity shares at INR 143 per share in a 3:20 ratio for eligible shareholders as of the record date 7 July 2025. Promoters demonstrated their commitment by subscribing to approximately INR 1.20 billion, reinforcing their belief in Exicom’s future growth.
Proceeds will primarily strengthen the company’s financial position by reducing debt, with a target debt-to-equity ratio of 1:4 by FY26. The funds will also support global expansion efforts, including enhancing market presence in the US, Europe and Australia through Tritium, alongside covering general corporate expenses. This successful capital raise positions Exicom to accelerate its EV charging and energy solutions business while driving long-term value for stakeholders.
Anant Nahata, Managing Director and CEO, Exicom, said, “We are grateful to our shareholders for their continued trust in Exicom. The capital raised will strengthen our balance sheet and support our expansion, particularly in international markets through Tritium. While Tritium’s turnaround is taking time, we are in advanced discussions for several large global high-power charger deals that we believe can help change the course of the company. We will see this fully play out starting FY27. Back home, we remain strongly optimistic about the India opportunity, driven by the steady growth in EV adoption across the country. Our Harmony Direct 2.0 continues to gain traction, with early momentum translating into a strong sales pipeline. Meanwhile, Spin Air home chargers are securing consistent wins with leading OEMs, reinforcing trust in our technology and execution."
Shiraz Khanna, Chief Financial Officer, Exicom, said, "This Rights Issue marks an important step in enhancing our financial health. The capital raised will enable us to significantly reduce debt and support sustainable growth while maintaining prudent capital discipline."

Automobili Lamborghini Reports Strong H1 2025 Financial Performance
- By MT Bureau
- July 30, 2025

Automobili Lamborghini has reported strong financial and operational performance for the first half of 2025, demonstrating stability despite global economic challenges. The Italian automaker generated EUR 1.62 billion in revenue, matching previous year figures, while operating profit reached EUR 431 million – a slight decline attributed to unfavourable currency fluctuations. The company delivered 5,681 vehicles during this period, setting a new first-half record with a two percent year-over-year increase.
Maintaining robust profitability at 26.6 percent, Lamborghini continues its sustainable growth trajectory while renewing its entire product lineup. Regional deliveries were led by EMEA with 2,708 units, followed by the Americas (1,732) and APAC (1,241).
The brand's success reflects the execution of its Direzione Cor Tauri strategy, particularly its transition to a fully hybridised lineup. Key models driving this momentum include the Revuelto, Lamborghini's first High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), featuring a groundbreaking 1,015 HP hybrid powertrain combining a V12 engine with three electric motors. Equally impactful is the Urus SE plug-in hybrid Super SUV, delivering 800 HP with enhanced efficiency and technology.
Later this year, Lamborghini will expand its electrified range with the Temerario, a new V8 HPEV super sports car that recently completed dynamic testing in Estoril. Scheduled for deliveries in early 2026, this model reinforces the brand's commitment to performance-oriented electrification, marking another milestone in its ongoing transformation.
Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO, Automobili Lamborghini, said, “The results from the first six months of 2025 are solid despite global economic and political instability, confirming that the decision to hybridise the entire range was the right one. The success of the Revuelto and Urus SE demonstrates that our vision is shared by our customers, and we now look forward to the market launch of the Temerario, which will complete the first fully hybrid range in the segment.”
Paolo Poma, Managing Director and CFO, Automobili Lamborghini, said, “In the current macroeconomic and geopolitical context, the financial and business performance of the first half of 2025 demonstrates the resilience we have built over the years, and confirms once again the brand’s positioning among the leading players in the luxury sector.”
