What management said
See, this is a temporary phenomenon we see. And so some segments are planned for Middle East, but that's not having -- don't have any material impact because we are diverting those materials to other geographies. So there is absolutely no issues with that.
China, actually, competition is not there because we supply, our quality is very high and plus, the China cost is higher than India. So even in India, we supply coal tar, which has a price lower than China. So that dynamic doesn't work for our business. China dynamic is no -- not at all valid for our business.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns regarding the geopolitical situation's impact on supply chains and pricing, particularly in the Middle East. There were also questions about the scalability of the anode business and the expected contribution from new capacities in FY '27.
