directReasons for 7% YoY and 31% QoQ decline in power gen, any postponement due to tariff uncertainty.
This is largely owing to the fact that the same quarter last year had pre-buy sales of CPCB2. This is not with respect to just this year. Last year saw higher sales because of the pre-buy.

partialAre CPCB4 plus volumes back to 100% of CPCB2 levels?
The volumes in CPCB4 plus are not completely matching up to CPCB2, but every quarter we are seeing increase in the volume trend. I think another quarter or two to see the volumes crossing CPCB2 numbers, not yet.

directAny one-off in EBITDA or top line this quarter, like large data center orders?
No, no one-offs like that, Parikshit. ... demand across sectors and all different segments have contributed to the growth, so I won't be able to call out one particular one-off segment.

Also, as I mentioned, we are watching pricing carefully, and we have been able to hold on to pricing as well.

The only difference is foreign exchange. We are reporting our numbers in INR, and they are reporting their numbers in US dollars. There is no other reconciliation between those two.

partialIs there a one-off in implied employee expenses this quarter?
From a quarter-to-quarter perspective, yes, there is some actuarial benefit impact that is there from a quarter perspective. There is also some reclassification done for better representing the results.

evasiveIs the double-digit revenue guidance 10-15% or 15-20%?
I will have to say that we are maintaining double-digit guidance. While we see demand in the local market, you will appreciate that there are uncertainties in the global markets, and the impact of tariffs is not completely baked in yet. It will be very difficult to give you a very specific answer on that.
