Is CBAM already influencing discussions around carbon accounting, power procurement and competitiveness? And do you see India's carbon market helping domestic industry adapt to a carbon-priced global economy?

Vipul, thanks for the questions.

But before answering your questions, I just wanted to touch upon a point covered by Anirudh in earlier discussion.

Unlike when you have a absolute target, gives to different installation and operations a different absolute emission.
