partialVisibility on APM deallocation notice period
They've agreed upon giving enough notice so that everybody can plan their purchase and the shortfall demand they see. It is under process, and definitely, it will be in place in due course. The timeline is given. Earlier, it was very short notice that has been extended, and they are trying to extend it further.

directImpact of CNG vehicle price increase on conversions
On the contrary, I think our belief is this is not the price of a lone CNG vehicle. This is a normal increase which takes place by OEMs due to various factors. Otherwise, the difference between petrol and diesel vehicles is being maintained. If you see, as I stated also in my announcement of the results, there is actually a volume growth of 20%, 21%.

evasiveOptimal price arbitrage level for commercial CNG vehicles
I would say, Rajan, I think there are multiple considerations which get into when people decide to go for a commercial vehicle on CNG. One is, of course, efficiency or price differential between CNG and the HST. It also is driven by several organizational objectives. On the efficiency side, of course, everyone is expecting a bit higher efficiency.

partialImpact of two-zone gas tariff on gas cost and sourcing breakdown
On the zonal tariff side, the tariff clarity is yet to come. Currently, the existing regime is continuing. The good news is that they have also stated in the same notification that for CGD, for a home PNG, as well as CNG, which is the priority segment for which we get APM, there will be only zone one tariff irrespective of a distance.

declinedQuantified savings from zone one tariff shift
I think, Yogesh, as you understand that as a publicly listed company, it will not be right to hazard a guess. We don't know what is the revised tariff which is going to be coming. I would urge you and all the participants to bear some patience with us. We would come back with correct implication.

partialPNG volume growth challenges and breakdown by segment
For Q1, close to about 69% is PNG. The balance 31% is within the PNG segment. 70% of this is actually dominated by industrial segment only, whilst about 24% is domestic and 6% is commercial.

directClarification on percentage of volume in zone two
I would say not 80%- 85%, but roughly around 60%.

directCNG growth breakdown by mature vs new GAs and geography
Today, our composition is close to about 65% from the existing geographies, while about 35% is from the newer geographies. If I were to see from a YoY, 30%+ is actually in terms of newer CNG growth rate, while 12% is from the existing geographies in terms of CNG growth.

directCapEx estimate for CNG infrastructure over next 3-5 years
This year, we are likely to incur a CapEx of somewhere in the range of about INR 900-INR 1,000 crore. That's the CapEx that we are intending to do for this year. As far as the next two to three years are concerned, we will end up doing a CapEx of INR 3,500-INR 3,700 crore.

partialTarget penetration level for CNG infrastructure
Actually, again, I'm glad that you asked this question. You know, it's 20% or higher. The key for us is to expand CNG volume in each of the geographical areas, contact the potential of currently used vehicles which are being used, also promote, along with OEMs, new vehicles which are being purchased.
