The international brokerage is of the view that the battery manufacturing company's shares could rise significantly over the next ten years. Furthermore, the government's support for Made in India EVs can help the company become a leading player in battery cell localisation.

"The company's strong automobile and industrial tie-ups, and early mover advantage could also play in Exide Industries' favor," Morgan Stanley said in a note on the company.

On April 9, the South Korean auto majors Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) and Kia Corporation announced a partnership with the homegrown battery maker for electric vehicle battery localization in the country.
