directReason for aggressive top-line growth: gramage addition or GST compliance?
It's, I think, the latter. Obviously, there will be gains because of the gramage that we are increasing. But I think the market share gains because of this are going to be definitely moving towards the organized players.

partialTop-line growth trajectory after gramage increase.
It does not work absolutely mathematically. 9 + 6 is 15, we know that. We are hoping that we get to 9 + 6, but we could even get more than that.

The big three, like you said, they constitute 70% of the market. Then if I add, let's say, significant regional players, that will be another 10%-12%. Therefore, the long tail is about 15%-18%.
