Sir, how are you seeing the demand environment globally from your affiliate companies and also from third party for second half?

Right. Sir, on the expenses side, I think we had initiated cost reduction exercise somewhere around Q4. Q4 and Q1 were fine, but this quarter again other expenses has gone up on an absolute amount as well as a percent of sales despite a good decline in sales. Is there anything one-off? Or if you can explain on your cost reduction efforts, why it has not reflected in other expenses?

Thanks for the opportunity. Just continuing on the NBS policy for H2, while I am not looking for any quarterly guidance, but for Q3 whether there will be a significant dip for the industry in profitability or there will be no profit at all on major grades of fertilizer that we are selling as an industry, if you can give some color on that? Not specifically from Coro’s perspective, but for any backward integrated player.

How are we placed on the raw material inventory, especially for ammonia and phosphate for Q3? Have we had enough opportunity to buy it at lower cost?
