This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Exicom as it expands its footprint in international markets, particularly in EV charging technology.
Exicom Managing Director Anant Nahata shared the company’s plans for Tritium’s integration and the upcoming establishment of a manufacturing unit in Hyderabad. The facility will leverage Tritium’s DC fast charging technology to develop solutions for electric vehicles, expected to become operational by the end of 2025.
“This strategic investment highlights Exicom’s robust positioning in international markets and our commitment to expanding operational capabilities across diverse geographies. The comprehensive deal encompassing four key regions — the UK, the Netherlands, the United States, and Australia — amounts to USD 37 million,” Nahata said.
As part of the acquisition, Exicom has absorbed Tritium’s entire workforce of 300 employees, a move Nahata described as an opportunity to drive innovation in the EV charging sector.
“With the integration of Tritium’s 300 talented individuals, Exicom will leverage synergies and drive innovation within the EV charging sector. This collaboration will further enhance our ability to deliver world-class solutions to our clients,” Nahata added.
