But parallelly in my last month and in the last days, I met Piyush Goyal also, and I requested him that FTA is being signed between India and Chile, so on the sidelines please, uh, try for a mature block.
Sanjiv Kumar SinghGUEST
Because all those four blocks are greenfield projects, it will take 10 to 12 years.
Sanjiv Kumar SinghGUEST
So I requested him that please pressurize Chilean government, request them that Codelco should give at least one mature block, one mature block.
Karan RaoHOST
Very much so.
