Question: Kirtan Mehta - BOB Capital Markets Limited, Research Division - Analyst
: Couple of questions from my side. Just to take on the books, would you be able to clarify the investment numbers that we have in the books of
India towards U.K. and Europe? Would it be possible to sort of give us that breakup as well?
Question: Kirtan Mehta - BOB Capital Markets Limited, Research Division - Analyst
: Right. And just one more thing in terms of -- there has been a mention about the delay in ramp-up of cold mill at IJmuiden. Would you be able to
sort of clarify its capacity and potential contribution to the margin for the Netherlands plant once it comes up?
Question: Kirtan Mehta - BOB Capital Markets Limited, Research Division - Analyst
: Right, understood. One more question, if I may. In terms of the India business, we recently did around INR 16,000 per tonne on the standalone
operations. When we want to look at this number in the sustainable context or more in terms of the average margin over the cycle, how far we are
from the cycle in the margin, and how should we think that margin would change as we commission the pellet plant as well as the cold rolled mill
there?

loss. So what is -- how are you funding those losses today?
Question: Ashish G. Jain - Macquarie Research - Analyst
