No no no no it is 8.4% 4% is the volume growth. 5% is the price increase impact. The mixed change is included in that you know overall volume growth... Mix doesn't improve by 2% to 3%. The improvement in mix is about 4 to 5%.

Asking if high single-digit volume growth can be maintained for full year despite pricing increases

We should be able to maintain that we have as we said we are taking many initiatives from our side as well to grow the volumes one is of course the expansion in network itself the second is the branding campaign so overall some new product introductions a combination of all of these factors should help us to maintain the volumes and that's the objective and we don't see a downside risk there in terms of volume growth.

Clarifying Q2 margin improvement is YoY not sequential, and asking for regional demand trends

Not sequentially obviously because second quarter the value sales will be on the lesser side. So the operating margins are typically on the lower side. It is year on year that I am talking about. ... It mostly retail and project is similar project is slightly higher not substantially higher 1 2% higher than the retail growth rate so it's essentially really much more of retail.

Asked about market share in east India, potential price cuts post-Diwali, and backward integration strategy

The figures are not available. So it's difficult to tell about the market share... As far as backward integration wherever possible and feasible and which makes economical sense for us we definitely look at those like for example in emulsions the entire emulsions are made by us in our factories. Similarly most of the resins are made by us.

Volume growth improvement is on the back of two factors. One this quarter and last quarter June possibly last year was an absolute disaster because of excessive rains.

Asking why Berger is more optimistic on margins vs Asian Paints' commentary on low-cost inventory advantage ending

The essential difference is that we have a higher percentage of industrial business than them. It's almost 20% for us and in their case it might be much lower. It's primarily a decorative play for them. So what happens therefore is that there was a significant delay in the price increases that we got on the industrial business lines and that will come into effect in the second quarter.

Asked about volume-value gap normalization and other income increase

Primarily not because of the mix but because of the price decreases that had happened. Now if you look at it it has reversed because we are getting an 8 9% volume growth but a 13 to 16 14 15% value growth largely because of the price increase which is there. ... This is largely on account of if you see our cash balances have gone up right only that I mean and so out it's out of our treasury incomes.
