contents We investigate normalized groundstates for mixed $(p,2)$-Laplacian equations \begin{align*} \begin{cases} -Δ_p u-Δu+λu=f(u) & \text{in } \mathbb{R}^2, \displaystyle \int_{\mathbb{R}^2}|u|^2\,\mathrm{d}x=m, u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^2)\cap D^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^2), \end{cases} \end{align*} where $Δ_p$ denotes the $p$-Laplacian with $1<p<2$, $λ\in\mathbb{R}$ represents a Lagrange multiplier and the nonlinerity $f$ exhibits exponential critical growth. Compared to the single-Laplacian case, the lack of regularity here precludes the Pohozaev identity, and the exponential critical growth severely compromises the restoration of compactness. To address these issues, we introduce a refined Moser iteration technique adapted to exponential critical growth, which establishes the Pohozaev identity for weak solutions under the mere assumption of $C_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,α}$-regularity. By combining constrained minimization on the Pohozaev manifold within a closed $L^2$-ball with a minimax characterization, we prove the existence of normalized groundstates for any prescribed mass $m>0$. Notably, our approach works independently of the sign of the Lagrange multiplier $λ$, thereby surmounting the fundamental barrier in recovering compactness for mixed Laplacian problems.
