Question: Alisha Mahawla - Envision Capital Services Private Ltd. - Analyst : And also earlier in the call, you mentioned that we have taken price hikes in phases throughout the year. Have we passed on all the cost pressures that we have faced in the last year? Or is there still some balance that is not being covered. And if so, how much?

Question: Alisha Mahawla - Envision Capital Services Private Ltd. - Analyst : Understood. And is this a sustainable number at gross margin level, 35% or like you were saying manufacturing cost of 65%? Is this a sustainable number going forward?

Question: Alisha Mahawla - Envision Capital Services Private Ltd. - Analyst : Understood. And just one last question, if I may.

So just wanted to understand, do we see any prebuying to happen in this particular financial year, that is FY '23? And what is the kind of price hikes that will materialize once the CPCB 4 norms get implemented? Yes.

Question: Amit Shah - Antique Stockbroking Ltd., Research Division - Analyst : And sir, one more question. I just wanted to understand on the Optiqua portfolio. So since it's an upcoming product portfolio that we have developed, what is the kind of contribution that we envisage from the Optiqua portfolio? And if you can give us a guidance with regards to the growth prospects of Optiqua over the next 2 to 3 years. So that would be really helpful.
