Namaste, everyone. Thank you all for asking some very interesting questions, and our colleagues for replying the same. We hope we could address all your queries. FY '26 was a generally difficult year for the Indian agrochemical industry. Adverse weather, r egulatory constraint, global uncertainties, and cautious channel sentiment, all occurring in the same year. And yet, in that environment, Sumitomo Chemical India delivered its highest-ever profitability. That outcome speaks to the depth of the franchise we have built. Looking ahead, our priorities for FY '27 are clear - scaling up our recently launched products, continuing to invest in farmers' engagement and demand generation. Advancing our manufacturing expansion program at Bhavnagar, Tarapur, and Dahej, and sustaining the financial discipline that has consistently underpinned our profitability. We remain watchful of the monsoon outlook and the broader operating environment, and we are well prepared to navigate whatever conditions the year brings. I also want to express here my deep gratitude for the privilege of having been part of this organization's journey. The company that Sumitomo Chemical India is today a INR3,200 crores business with a strong parentage, strong products and brands, strong people and team, and strong plans. All these strong Ps helped us generate strong profit for our shareholders, which is one of the highest profitability level in our history.

Namaste everyone. Thank you all for your asking some very interesting questions and our colleagues for replying the same. We hope we could address your questions nicely. FY ‘25 has been a year of consolidation, resilience and strategic recalibration for Sumitomo Chemical India Limited despite global headwinds, rising pressure and market volatility. We have demonstrated robust execution capabilities, delivering strong volume-led growth, expanding margins to historic high, launching multiple differentiated products, and deepening our connect with farmers and channel partners through our initiatives such as EDFD campaign. We now enter FY ‘26 with a clear and confident roadmap, a year we are defining as a year of resurgence. We expect a supportive external environment with the IMD forecasting an overall normal monsoon, a crucial catalyst for agriculture output and agriculture input demands. This bodes well for the domestic agro-chemical sector, and we are structurally well positioned to harness this tailwind. On the strategic front, we are embarking on two important CAPEX initiatives. The first is the Brownfield expansion at our Bhavnagar site for a key SCC-invented molecule, building on the strong operating track record of our existing facility. The second is the establishment of a new product line at our Tarapur facility for recently launched patented molecule. This investment also set the stage for potential scale-up opportunities including our readiness to support SCC's evaluation of a large-scale Greenfield facility in India. Moreover, our continued focus on optimizing operational metrics including inventory management, receivable controls and disciplined capital allocation will remain central to our long-term strategy. We see this not merely at efficiency levers but as critical enablers of sustainable growth and value creation. We remain deeply grateful for your continued support and engagement. Thank you for taking the time to join our conference call today. We truly appreciate your participation. Thank you. Good night.
