Question: Mohit Kumar - ICICI Securities - Analyst
: Yes. Good evening, sir. Thanks for the opportunity. My first question is on this, is there impact of freight costs in this particular quarter? And are
you seeing the deferred cost that jumped substantially in the quarter because of Red Sea? And does that impact -- that will impact the Q4 also?
Question: Mohit Kumar - ICICI Securities - Analyst
: Understood, sir. My second question is on the non-mining sector. The volume has been declining in last nine months. Does it mean that there's
some weakness in the cement industry, which is percolating to our weakness in volume, which grew slightly in FY24, but declined in the volume
YoY for the entire fiscal?
Question: Mohit Kumar - ICICI Securities - Analyst
: Understood, sir. Thank you and all the best.

in FY24. For FY25, when we are seeing 30,000 tonnes incremental additions, does that include the 10,000 tonnes to 15,000 tonnes that we have
missed this year or is that overramp and above that?
