Congratulations on the results and thank you for the opportunity to ask question. My question is on base oil. So I see a recent announcement where there has been partnership with HPCL and it has been trying to revive the used engine oil for b ase oil. So I understand 50% to 55% of base oil is currently imported. And so can this percentage go down going forward? And how much incremental base oil can be procured from this partnership? My question is primarily to do with your gross profit, so more you get it domestically, the lower the impact of FX and higher profits. So how do you see your base oil being procured locally? That's my first question.
Okay. That helps. And I understand you domestically procure base oil from PSUs and IOC are coming up with more refineries for more output of b ase oil. So is there already some contracts in place? Are you guys already talking to them rega rding procuring domestically? Or can you shed some colour on that?

Congratulations on the great set of results. I have a question regarding now that the new management has taken over the company. I understand that Castrol uses strategic pricing, is a forward-looking pricing. That is what the previous CFO said and has done . So, I want to understand further color on the pricing strategy for the automotive lubricants. I understand you've already explained for industrials? That's my first question.
So the other question, I actually have 2, but I'll restrict to only one. In the previous conference call, you did guide about the 7 to 8 tests that you are doing for the data centers or lubricants for the data centers. I wanted to understand if there is an y further development as well as how do you see the overall volumes in this space, if you can provide a color on that?
