  We study Dark Matter (DM) in the Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model
(E$_6$SSM). The model has both active and inert Higgs superfields and by
imposing discrete symmetries one can generate two DM candidates. We show that
the lightest higgsinos of the active and inert sectors give a viable setup for
two-component DM. We also illustrate the scope of both direct and indirect
detection experiments in extracting such a DM sector. Future experiments of the
former kind have a good chance of finding the active component while the inert
higgsino will be very hard to detect while those of the latter kind will have
no sensitivity to either candidate.
