We are not into that race of getting the order at any cost. We have our internal strategy up to what level we will go for a order or if it is below that we will not go we will leave it.
We have signed some new contract with one of the biggest industrial integrated steel plants somewhere in Punjab. So first time in group strategy they have given from the commissioning stage fourpro contract to any refractory industry in the world.
We don't give out these material. We have never done that historically. We will not start to do that now.
