Update on Sri Lanka, Vizhinjam, recent acquisitions, and Haifa Port.
In the second half, we finalized our acquisition transaction in Gopalpur. Vizhinjam is doing better than what we planned. Sri Lanka is also very much on track to start the operations next year in quarter four. Haifa is working 24 by 7.

partialGangavaram volume recovery timeline and margin profile.
Gangavaram is also fast recovering in terms of volume. In quarter three and quarter four, we will make up, specifically in Gangavaram. Company as a whole, we are running ahead of the estimates.

deflectedReason for lower realizations at Dahej and Hazira.
Considering the number that you are quoting, I may have to check and come back to you separately because I don't see that actually in my sheet. Based on publicly published numbers, it should show that actually in both places, we have gone up by at least double digits.

directImpact of cyclone Dana on Gopalpur operations.
The impact was for four and a half hours, and there was no physical damage, and there was no human impact. So four and a half hours already we have recovered.

directConfidence in achieving full-year volume guidance given H1 weakness.
Containers, we are very much confident. The agro and fertilizers are coming back. In addition to that, we have Gopalpur and Tanzania. So that's why we re-emphasize today our guidance, where the volume between 460-480, we are very much confident of achieving that.

directMarket share gains in rail logistics and drivers.
The market share that we are getting into is not from any other MMLP. This is primarily a conversion from road into rail. With the DFC coming in, the ability to double stack is increasing.

directRail coefficient at major container ports and change from last year.
32%. So roughly at Mundra, 32% as of this year. It would be roughly around 31% last year.

evasiveWhy domestic port EBITDA per ton is higher than international.
India is a homogeneous market, and all the investment that we make outside India, the market is a bit heterogeneous. EBITDA per ton is not comparable.

partialUse of free cash flow: deleveraging vs dividends given low leverage.
Our long-term target for debt is 2.5 leverage. So we will take appropriate actions. It's not based on one quarter, but it has to be probably seen consistently over a few quarters before we can take action.
