Question: Pramod Amthe - Incred Research Services Private Limited - Analyst
: Two questions, again, with regard to Grand Vitara. So one, I wanted to know how are you looking at the segment opportunity in terms of the way
you have priced it, the product and offering which you have on table, including the fuel efficiency? What's the market size there? Do you plan to
expand exponentially with the new offerings which you have? Can you give some color on it?
Question: Pramod Amthe - Incred Research Services Private Limited - Analyst
: No, I was saying the way you have positioned Grand Vitara, what's the market size opportunities available for that model based on your price points
and also the variance which you are positioned.
Question: Pramod Amthe - Incred Research Services Private Limited - Analyst
: And how do you look at the fuel options there, petrol versus diesel split up? And have you been able to attract some of the diesel customers to
you because you are providing hybrid options?
Question: Pramod Amthe - Incred Research Services Private Limited - Analyst
: Sure. And the last question related to the way the revenue and expenses recognition for this product. Will it be directly a Toyota plant selling to
Maruti Suzuki or it will go to Suzuki Gujarat and then it will then be accounted into Suzuki as sales and expenses?
Question: Pramod Amthe - Incred Research Services Private Limited - Analyst
: Okay. So is it fair to know that the treatment will be similar to the Gujarat plant sourcing you do in terms of expenses and sales? Or will there be
any key differentiator the way the accounting is done? Just curious to know in case if there are any differences?

Question: Ashish G. Jain - Macquarie Research - Analyst
: Sir, my first question was on the 6 airbag norms, which is now pretty much seem it's effective from first of October. So can you speak a bit about
what is the cost implication? And also if you go by media articles and Maruti will have to do a lot more designing in all, especially on the entry-level
of the car. So any update on that would be very helpful.
Question: Ashish G. Jain - Macquarie Research - Analyst
