Regarding the sales outlook for the full year 2024-2025, we expect to achieve double-digit revenue growth over the fiscal year 2023-2024. I now open the session for questions. Thank you. Thank you very much, ma'am. We will now begin with the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask questions may please press star and one on the touch-tone phone. If you wish to withdraw yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to answer while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. The first question is from the line of Mohit Pandey from Macquarie Capital. Please go ahead. Yeah, good morning, ma'am. And thank you for the opportunity and congratulations for these types of financial results. My first question, ma'am, is on the domestic Power Gen business. If you could please comment on pricing trends at the portfolio level, and now that more than six months have passed with full-fledged adoption of BS- VI, if you think pricing levels have more or less settled. That would be question number one, ma'am. Hi, Mohit. Thank you for the question. From a Power Gen domestic perspective, we believe that pricing will take at least another one or two quarters to settle in the market. We spoke last time that there was inventory of CPCB II available till the last quarter. So we still will see the market completely buying CPCB IV+ products. So another quarter or two is what we believe pricing will take to settle. Okay, ma'am. And a follow-on to that, if you could give end-market-wise color on what has driven the strength in the domestic Power Gen market in this quarter, that would be very helpful. Yeah. So the infrastructure growth in our country continues. And specifically for the Power Gen market, we see demand in the mission-critical power segment as infrastructure is getting built in the country. That continues to grow. Data center segment continues to grow in our country. And with the infrastructure spend, there are many other segments which continue to grow. So this demand is actually across various segments. Okay. And ma'am, typically you give breakup across Low HP, Medium HP, High HP for domestic. If you could please share that for this quarter. Yes, I can do that. For this quarter, for Power Gen Low Horsepower, we recorded sales of INR 82 crores. For the Mid-range, we recorded sales of INR 196 crores. For the Heavy Duty, we recorded sales of INR 99 crores, and for the High Horsepower, we recorded sales of INR 893 crores in this quarter. Okay, ma'am. Ma'am, does the High HP sale number imply a big data center delivery in the quarter? Yes. It includes data centers. It includes other mission-critical segments as well, which buy the High Horsepower products. Understood. Ma'am, my very last question on the sale of the wholly owned subsidiary today, if you could give more color around the rationale and how was the valuation for that arrived at, that would be my last question. Thank you. Sure. So this wholly owned subsidiary is actually a dealership entity. And we had this one dealership entity that the company had shares in. Across the country, there are other dealerships that we have as well. And strategically, what we have seen is that having independent dealers around the country really helps us serve our customers well. So strategically, going forward, that is the model that the company, which we have adopted for the last year, last few many years, we will continue with that model. And with that intent in mind, we have divested this dealership entity. I hope that helps. Any color on the valuation, if it is possible to share? No, it's a normal process of valuation that every company follows, you see. There's nothing out of the ordinary. Okay. Understood, ma'am. Thank you so much and wish you all the best. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Parikshit Kandpal from HDFC Securities. Please go ahead. Yeah, hi, Shveta. Congratulations on a great quarter. So my first question is on pricing. So since these products were introduced by us in July, so from that point until now, so have you seen any cut in prices for your own product portfolio? So thanks for the question, Parikshit. Parikshit, we are still seeing the pricing settle. As I've said, we will still see changes in the pricing probably come in in the next two quarters. So we are watching this space continuously. Ma'am, talking about your product portfolio, about your own product portfolio. As far as we have been able to maintain price until now. Okay. That is what I was asking about. Yes, we have been able to maintain our pricing. If I look at the universe of this subset, I mean, till last few quarters, the competition has been lagging in introducing their norms. Do you think now our competing norms would be across the competitive and entire competitive environment, so we have now the entire portfolio of competing products from our peers. Yes. Now everybody has launched their products. Cummins is the company which has products across the range. So our competition definitely has launched products in the ranges that they operate in. Is there any comment from your own market intelligence that what could be the pricing differential and also the total cost of ownership? Because if our engines are more efficient, they have more power density. Do you think we are still competitive even if we are priced higher, so first of all, how much is the pricing differential between our and the universe and whether the total cost of ownership still gives better value to customers? What I can tell you is that we launched the products in July 2023, and we've had the time to really work on our product very well. So the total cost of ownership definitely works for the customer, and our product is very well accepted. The technology is quite advanced, and our products are doing well in the market. So well-accepted product, we have been able to work on the product to make sure that the TCO works for the customers. And as far as pricing goes, this will settle in the market in the next two quarters, and you'll see how that goes. But the product is well accepted, and this is advanced technology. There is higher content in the products. And yet, from a total cost of ownership perspective, given the advancement in technology, we believe that it works for our consumers. Any comment on pricing differential between us and the peers? It is quite dynamic, very different across nodes, very different across segments. It's very difficult to give you one single answer for this. But high single-digit or early double-digit mid-teens, so any commentary? No, it varies. It really varies, and it's settling, so it's quite dynamic. It's not settled yet, so I won't be able to give you a number just yet. But we'll be higher than the peers, right? Our pricing will be higher than the peers. Is that the right understanding? We have very advanced technology, and we bring in expertise from around the world. We have aftermarket presence, which really helps our customers. So we definitely are brands that command that kind of value in the consumer's mind. So I would say that's what drives the value of our product for our customers. Okay. And for the last question, the parent has announced $200 million CapEx for India, the country. So what portion of that will come to the listed entity? So how will it get divided between various entities? What will be our share in that, and what will this CapEx be incurred for? We as a company keep evaluating our CapEx needs very regularly to see what are the new product ranges that we want to launch, what are the new technologies we want to launch for our customers. And that's a regular cycle. And the parent has announced for a few countries their capital expenditure. It will definitely come to us as well based on our needs, where we need to spend in our manufacturing capability, where we need to spend in new product introduction. Depending on that, it will come to us. And that's under evaluation at this point in time. Okay. Sure, sure. Thanks, Jonas. I have a few more questions. Thank you. Wish you the best. Thank you. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Jonas Bhutta from Birla Mutual Fund. Please go ahead. Yep. Good morning, team. And congratulations on a great set of numbers. Two questions, Shweta. Firstly, on the domestic growth, what we see, particularly in the High Horsepower, there seems to be a delta of roughly INR 300 crores-INR 400 crores versus the normal run rate of INR 450 crores-INR 500 crores, which is roughly INR 900 crores this quarter. Is it fair to say that large part of this delta is driven by the data center order execution? Jonas, thanks for the question. This is driven by a few things. Definitely, there's data center growth. There is also growth in mission-critical power requirements across different segments. And there is better execution as well at our end. So it's a mix of all those things. Understood. And does the current order book on the data center projects give you enough visibility to sustain these kind of delivery levels, at least for the next three to four quarters? Data center demand continues to grow, Jonas, and we are continuing to see the movement in the orders coming in, so difficult to tell you for the next three or four quarters. The demand continues for now. We are continuing to build the order board. I really won't be able to comment on the next three or four quarters at this point in time. Sure. And is this what explains the both year-on-year and a sequential dip in our gross margins, a higher execution of the data center piece and even an almost doubling of our LHP sales? Does that sort of bridge the gap in terms of the gross margin movement? So, the gross margin movement, Jonas, I would say, the two big factors over there. One is that in the last year, if you're looking at that, there was a one-time benefit that we had, which we didn't have this year. And then overall mix of products that we saw in this quarter is what impacts the gross margin. It is not just those two that you pointed out, but the overall product mix that we saw in the quarter and the one-time that we had in the last year, which we didn't have this year. Sure. My second question was on exports. Any movement or development in CIL's exports towards the U.S., particularly? Because that was something that was expected to start moving once the CPCB adoption sort of happens, and we are more or less at the same at par with the U.S. emission norms. And we also sort of, I think, a couple of quarters back, announced that we've got certified by the U.S. agency for a certain node. So any visibility on how is that panning out and how is that likely to pan out over the next couple of years? Yes. Jonas, we launched certain products in that for the North America market in the higher ranges electronic engines. These were launched some time back, so we are still watching how the market picks them up. But the products got launched. So can you share North America as a percentage of our export sales in the nine months? Difficult to say that. Really, the products are picking up. Very early days, Jonas. So still picking up. Got it. And any update? Because as the parent sort of announced the $200 million CapEx across three regions, any clarity? Because the parent entity, some of the factories are getting pivoted to executing these large data center orders there themselves. There was belief that certain product lines get shifted to China and India. Any development there? And And should we read into the CapEx announcements in sync with this? I would say that I answered this earlier as well, that we are continuously evaluating our CapEx requirements, especially towards building our manufacturing capabilities and enhancing our products as needed for the market. And based on our requirements for our customers and the markets we serve here in India is how we will get the CapEx. And that continues. The company is cash-rich, and we continue to get the CapEx that we need to serve our customers. And it is an evaluation. This is our needs at this point in time. Sure. That's helpful, and wish you all the best. That's it from my side. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Amit Anwani from PL Capital. Please go ahead. Thanks for taking my question. My first question pertains to the industrial segment where we have given very strong performance, and the nine-month sales is almost equivalent to the full-year sales of last year. Any color you would like to give which subsegments? Railway, mining, construction, where are we getting traction, and how one should look at industrial sectors in coming quarters with respect to the trends for you? And possible for you to share the breakup of subsegment for the first nine months? Yeah. Sure. Let me do that. For the first nine months, let me give you a little color on the subsegments of the industrial market. Construction, we have INR 455 crores. Rail, we have INR 357 crores. Mining, INR 170 crores. And then the rest of the segments like Marine, Compressor, Oil and Defense, other work. So I gave you the top few segments there. The overall number for the nine months is INR 1,189 crores. In the industrial segment, there are two or three things which led to this growth. The first, the Construction segment, which, because there was strong demand from our customers, specifically execution of infrastructure projects that is happening, and hence construction movement there and demand. So we had backlogs over there, which we were able to clear through better execution, and there was strong demand in the market. So that was the Construction segment. And then, railways, really good demand from railways, and we were able to match it with good execution. So this demand was across Diesel Electric Tower Cars, Power Cars, all the places we play in the Railway segment. So good demand in the quarter with good orders coming in and execution in the railway. Those are the large factors for the industrial segment growth. Do we expect the trends to continue? The growth of this segment is largely linked to the capital expenditure by the government. We continue to see that expenditure happening, and hence we continue to see that demand. Right. My next question is on the gross margin. You highlighted that the previous base quarter was having one-off benefits and the mixed impact. How should one look at the gross margins now going forward? As you already highlighted that the prices are yet to settle for the CPCB IV+. So shall we consider this 35% as a kind of baseline number going forward, or is there any chance that the gross margin will further normalize in upcoming quarters? So from a gross margin perspective, I think our endeavor is to continue improving it. It obviously depends on a lot of factors like mix and others during different quarters. I would say our efforts to make sure that our products, we are continuously working on them, bringing in cost reductions, bringing in efficiency in our manufacturing. Those efforts continue. So the endeavor is to continue improving the margins. Sure. Lastly, a bookkeeping question. What was the value-based contribution of CPCB IV+ in this quarter? Sorry, contribution. The contribution of CPCB IV+ sales in this quarter. Okay. Okay. CPCB IV+ roughly would have been around 40% in this quarter. Of total? Of the total power generation. Okay. Thank you so much. Thanks. Thank you. We'll take the next question from the line of Jason Soans from IDBI Capital. Please go ahead. Yes, Shweta. Thanks for taking my question. Just in reference to a previous participant also, I understand that you mentioned the industrial segment breakup, but just wanted to, from your viewpoint, just wanted to know how is the outlook in the various subsegments in terms of end market demand, say, construction, marine, compressors, or mining. And in relation to that, just also would want to ask with the CV announced coming out in January 2025, what is the pricing increase, if any, you are expecting, or the newer entries? Let me answer the first question on the construction rail mining trend first. I'll ask you probably to repeat the second question later. The first question, how do we see the trends? So I did tell you in the construction market, there was demand, and there was some backlog. So backlog we have cleared. The demand continues, but construction is a segment which gets cyclical as well. So we continue to watch it. The base demand, because of the infrastructure growth in the country and the capital expenditure, continues, but it is a segment which can be cyclical. So we continue to watch that. Difficult to say at this point in time how that will play out in this year. Rail. In Rail, there were quite a few orders that came in in the last quarter, and we were able to execute them as well. The base demand in the railways continues. Definitely, the frequency of the orders and all of that changes based on how the tenders come out, then again, mining, we do expect activity to pick up in mining. Again, it's a tender-based business, so it really depends on the tender velocity. We anticipate the tender velocity to be better in this year. Remains to be seen how the tenders come out, and if the tenders do come out in time, then we will definitely be able to execute and fulfill the demand. Sure. Sure. Sure. Could you repeat your second question for me? Yes. So the CEV, the construction equipment vehicle, the BS-VI norms coming from January 2025 for the construction equipment and agricultural equipment, which is a non-road segment. Just wanted to know with engines you're catering to that segment, and that's already come into effect. So just wanted to know in terms of you supplying engines to the OEMs, what are the pricing? Anything you have seen as a minor impact for us for the industrial segment? It is a small portion of the total sale. And whenever these kind of emission changes happen, it's a wait-and-watch after you introduce the product. It takes the market some time to adopt, right? So both of those things. It's a small portion. I would not say that it has a very large impact or bearing on the numbers. Sure. Sure. And Shweta, just wanted to know in terms of your obviously alluded to mission-critical equipment, if you could provide some color in terms of a further breakdown, like for example, say, manufacturing, railway, hotels, what do you think is driving this mission-critical equipment? Just would want some more color on the end market demand in terms of power generation. So it's across the board, really, Jason. There are segments like commercial realty. There are definitely manufacturing. There are hospitals. So it's across the board, very difficult to split it for us. Sure. And finally, just would want to know from an export standpoint, your exports picked up this quarter. So, just in terms of geographies, just some color on how Europe or how is for Africa, how is trajectory looking in those geographies? So exports still remains a mixed bag. This quarter, we did see Middle East pick up. We definitely saw Latin America pick up as well. But it's a mixed bag. We continue to watch the situation. Our efforts to improve our sales in each of these regions continue, and some of what you see is also a result of our efforts happening in those regions. But it's a mixed bag at this point in time. Continue to watch it. There's no specific trend that I can point out to say that this is likely to continue and sustain. There are definitely these geopolitical issues continue to exist. And now with the U.S. tariffs, everyone's evaluating around the world on how they will impact each of the end markets. It's under evaluation at this point in time. Likely to have an impact, it's under evaluation. Sure. Thanks, Shveta. Those were all my questions. Thank were all my questions. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. We'll take the next question from the line of Renu Baid from IIFL Securities. Please go ahead. Yeah. Hi. Good morning, Shweta. My first question would be a bit on the industrial segment. If you see incremental growth for the quarter, essentially has come from mining and to some extent from rail. So to this extent, can you throw some light in terms of there were quite a few new products that were in pipeline for these end markets? Where are we with respect to the commercial volume of ftake for the new product introductions in these segments? And do we see the volume growth uptake that you've seen in the mining and rail sustaining through the next few quarters? In the rail segment, I definitely said that diesel electric tower cars, power cars, those are the places that we had good orders. These are existing products. Definitely in the power car space, CPCB IV+ products grows. So if that's what you're referring to, the new product well accepted in the power car segment, and that's what led to the growth. And railways does continue to invest. It is a tender-based business. So the demand continues to be based on the tender velocity that come up. We continue to see the base demand in the railway segment. In mining, again, execution based on tenders in this particular quarter. So there were more number of orders to fulfill in this quarter, and these were existing product-related sales. So there is continuous endeavor to upgrade our product. The CPCB IV+ product in the railway segment was the new product that we launched that was well accepted. Mining also, we expect the velocity of tenders to be there in this year as well. So in both those segments, given government infrastructure spending, we continue to see demand. Where are we with respect to the approvals for Vande Bharat trains that are going in these products? We are working on those. We are working on those products. And it's a long process. It's a long gestation period. These are new products. There's a lot of technology R&D effort that goes on at our end, along with the railways as well. And these products also take time to come out into the field because there's a long trial period for them. So it will take some time. We are continuing to work on it, and we are on track based on our internal plans. Okay. Second is on the distribution segment. Well, there was a broad perception that the growth in distribution was significantly led by the RECD kits for upgrade of the old gensets. Now that CPCB IV+ has been in place, but we have continued to see the distribution revenues inch northward. So can you highlight the key drivers here? Would these be associated with the AMC revenues for CPCB IV products or good growth coming in for industrial business? Some more color on this would be appreciated. In the aftermarket, it is really linked to the utilization of the products. The higher the products get utilized in power gen or industrial in each of those subsegments, the higher utilization, which we have seen happening, that leads to better aftermarket demand, so that is one of the factors, and while there is CPCB IV+ product available in the market, that is for new sale. For existing gensets, we provide these solutions like retrofit emission control device or dual fuel kit, and they are continuing to pick up because if you see in the NCR region during November and December when the GRAP guidelines are introduced, people who want to buy new gensets then go for CPCB IV+. People who have existing gensets have the option to buy retrofit emission control devices or dual fuel kits from us, so those continue to sell. So that combined with higher utilization of assets already on ground is leading to the demand for aftermarket and definitely better execution of orders at our end. Sure. And my last question is previously the team used to reiterate that even if we see CPCB IV coming in, given the localization, the broad guidance on the gross margin was in 34%-36% range. So do we stand by those numbers given the way the mix is evolving and commodities are behaving? And also, could you mention what would be the level of localization that we are currently at for CPCB IV range? And what are the plans to increase it further in the next 12-15 months? Thank you. So let me first answer the localization part. CPCB IV+ has a very large part of the product portfolio localized. We are a global company. Our supply chain is quite integrated. And based on the scale of the components in different regions, we get them for our products. But largely, the CPCB IV+ product is localized, and we continue to move towards opportunities where we can localize even more. And then on the margins, as now the products sell more, we get more information. We get more opportunities to improve the value that we provide to our customers. We also get more information on our product usage that really guides us on how we can make our products even more cost-effective. That effort continues, and that can lead to margin improvements, but that's an endeavor at our end to try and improve our cost so that we can provide better value to our customers. Got it. Thanks much and best wishes to you. Thanks, Shveta. Thank you. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Subramanian Yadav from SBI Life Insurance. Please go ahead. Ma'am, if you can let us know what was the one-time benefit in Q3 FY 2024? And you also mentioned that overall mix in this quarter was different. So which categories you can highlight, lower kVA or in export, lower or higher Horse power, whichever is where the margin is lower, which is highlighted? So the one time in the last year was some provisions that we had taken, which we at the end of the year based on assessments had to reverse. And from a mixed perspective, this is across products, different products that we have. We have a portfolio of products, and across a number of products at different points in time when we end up selling different products, it can impact the margin. So it's not one or two that I can highlight for you. There was a mix across a portfolio of products. My understanding was, ma'am, because we have taken some price cut in Low Horsepower products. So is that contributing to lower gross margin? Or is it that export is increasing where in lower Horsepower we might have a lower margin? Sorry, Subramaniam, could you please repeat that question? It wasn't clear. Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt. I would request you to use your handset. Your voice is muffled a little bit. Yeah. Yes, sir. Hello. Can you hear me now? Yes. Yes. Yeah. I just wanted to understand because we have cut prices in the lower kVA segment, if I'm right. So is it hurting our gross margin at that level? Or is it because our exports are increasing where in lower Horsepower we might have a lower margin in that category? No, no, no. I would not say that is the case. It's a matter of on certain products, we have different margins, and it's a mix of products that have gone out into the market. I cannot really attribute the margin on the two aspects that you mentioned. Okay. Okay. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Amit Mahawar from UBS Group. Please go ahead. Yeah. Morning, Shveta, and it's great to see strong growth surprising domestic market. I have two quick questions. First is, can you let us know the nine-month market share in CPCB IV+ product that we last year? So what is the market share we have in IV+ product this year? So there's no base last year as well. The CPCB IV+ product continues to do well in the market. The consumer acceptance for the product is high. People recognize that it is very advanced technology, and the Cummins brand is delivering the promise of reliability along with innovation. Our market presence in CPCB IV+ is also strong, as our presence has been all along in the power gen market. Can I still say it's like more than 85%-90%, which was the case last communication what Ashwath had given us was almost 90%? Are we maintaining that number? I won't be able to say that. I can tell you that our market presence in CPCB IV+ is very strong. Fair. Fair. Fair. Thank you. The second question is on exports. Related to North American mandates, we have had a lot of launches in the last few years. Is the run rate for exports in 2026 and 2027 looking higher to you based on these nodes? And which are these nodes in terms of end markets? Thank you. So end markets continue to be a mixed bag for us, really, Amit. And now with the U.S. tariffs being announced, we're all evaluating across different regions on how these tariff changes will impact the end markets. At this point in time, it's really difficult to say because the evaluation is in progress. The announcements of tariffs have been very recent. So, a quick. Yeah. Please go ahead. You were saying something? Yeah. Yeah. The The quick one is, can I say the current nine-month gross margins? And I understand your limitation in guiding us with that. Is the best case we have? We have the best of all the possible scenarios pent up in rail, possibly with good margins, distribution, unprecedented growth. You had a very strong mix, perhaps the richest ever in the last six quarters. Can I say nine-month gross margin is the peak number we have today? Thank you. It would be the peak number that we've seen. And you're right. It's a mix of all those factors really working in our favor. And we continue our efforts towards cost reduction and providing value. So definitely, all the factors work very positively for us in the next months. Thank you, Shweta, and good luck. Thank you. We'll take the next question from the line of Vinod from PhillipCapital. Please go ahead. Yeah. Hi. Thanks for the opportunity. If you look at the last two budgets, the last two budgets, the government has been emphasizing a lot on SMRs. So do you think structurally this could be a direct competition to a product like a DG set when you come to data center applications? How do you look at the future of data DG sets given that there's a lot of R&D happening on the battery side as well on storage, as well as SMRs getting pushed? How should we look at the whole industry say 10 years down the line? From our perspective, we continue to see data center demand growth. In the data center demand, the diesel genset requirement, the diesel genset is the backup requirement which has the ability to provide continuous power for a long period of time. That is the insurance that data centers really value. We see that continuing at this point in time. We don't really anticipate the small reactors. There's still work going on over there. The way we see it, small reactors definitely, when they become feasible for the data center market, can be the primary power provider to data centers. Diesel gensets will continue to be the backup power requirement of the data centers because this is the diesel gensets are the products which can provide continuous power no matter what conditions for a long period of time as much as you can maintain them and keep providing the fuel, so it does remain the primary backup power source. But what about battery storage once it becomes a competition area? Again, the reliability of a diesel genset as a backup power is well known. At this point in time, we do not see that getting replaced so easily till the reliability and the prices of the batteries come to very, very similar space of a diesel genset, which is not the case today. Okay. Okay. Thanks. Thanks Thanks for the clarification, Shveta. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management will be able to address questions from all the participants in the conference, kindly limit your questions to one per participant. Should you have a follow-up question, please rejoin the queue. Thank you. We'll take the next question from the line of Aditya Mongia from Kotak Securities. Please go ahead. Yeah. Hi everyone, and thanks for the opportunity. The question that I had was more on the Mexico in, or let's say the interplay over here on tariffs, as you were suggesting. Just wanted to kind of get a sense that basically our capabilities, can we replace some of the output that Mexico is giving to the U.S. in power gen? Just some more questions on what could be the business prospects from a tariff increase that happens in the case of Mexico. That would be the question here. First and foremost, the tariff increases are being evaluated at this point in time to see what is the impact. Second, from a supply chain perspective, it's not just the tariffs. It's also the logistics cost and all the other things that get added when you send a product from one place to the other. So it's a mix of those things we have to evaluate to optimize our network and say which is the best place to build and which is the best place and which is the best place to build the engine and export. So it will be an evaluation of these factors, Aditya, to be honest, and that's continuing to go on at this point in time. I won't be able to really say which way it will show us the feasibility. Just to follow, ma'am, not a separate question, but are the notes that we are making a direct overlap, or do we have to make separate notes by itself to kind of replace Mexico if the opportunity comes? No, no, no. The North America market from a power gen perspective is a very different market. So we make very different products in India. While we can make those products, but these are different. There's no overlap. Got that, Shveta. I'll get back into queue for more questions. Thank you. Sure. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Sanjaya Satapathy from Ampersand Capital. Please go ahead. Yeah. Thanks for the opportunity, ma'am. Can you please just help us understand that considering all the mix change and everything that has happened, what is the kind of sustainable EBITDA margin that you are looking at, and is there any scope of improvement from here on? Scope for improvement, we definitely hope to because we are working on cost reduction for our products at all points in time. We're looking to improve the value to our customers, and we continue to get the benefit of our scale. We also continue to bring in efficiency in our operations. So the endeavor to improve the margins is there. But just like you said, the margins are a play of our efforts, what's happening in the market, the volumes that we get, and also the mix finally that we see across our different product portfolio. So it's a mix of all those things. Can we say that, I mean, this 19% what you have reported, that is kind of sustainable and with all the efforts that you are talking about, that can be improvement, but which we don't know whether it will happen now or not? You're right. Our endeavor is to improve. And will it happen or not? I won't be able to give you a number just yet or be able to tell you. Our efforts continue. Understood, and the second question is that on this, you have said that you have the organization and many such things, but still the price is a little unsettled, and you're saying that it will take a couple of quarters' time, but how is the overall inventory situation, and is the industry in a situation to correct any kind of competitive dynamics quickly enough, or the inventory will kind of stop you from not being able to respond to the market changes? The inventory of CPCB II is now done in the market. Now the demand in the market will be only for CPCB IV+ in this year. So that is not a factor. But given that all the competition has their products in the market, now the CPCB II + inventory is exhausted in the market. Now, that is why I say that we will see another quarter or two to see how the pricing settles out. But inventory impact, I think that's behind us at this point. Okay. And how is the difference, your price versus your competition? And is the pricing premium similar to what it used to be in CPCB II, or the premium has gone up? Cummins is a well-known brand in the space, and our products are very well accepted. The technology and the reliability of the product is well accepted. So the value to the customer is through those factors. And pricing is a function of very different dynamics in the market continues to change. It's difficult to say that here is one answer for the pricing that we get in the market because it varies across nodes, across customer segments, across various different parameters. But overall, are you really skeptical that there can be a significant change in pricing? Because you were saying that it will take a couple of quarters to settle, but is it going to? Is it like there are quite a few new entrants which are coming in, or it is going to be a competition among the known players? And considering the technology that you have, while you were saying that it settled, but it's already in the market for some time. So overall, how should one see it? I'm not skeptical. This is a very, very advanced technology, and because of the content addition, the consumers take time to adapt and for the real pricing to settle in the market. That is what I mean. It's not being skeptical about it, but just that the content has changed and the price levels in the market have changed, and the product is an integration of different components, very advanced technologies. Really, the reliability of a product comes out after a period of time. That's what the customers value, and that's when they are ready to pay the higher price for the content and the technology. The customers have to see the product performing in the market for the long term, see the reliability, see the quality, and understand this technology. There are the competition which existed. Those are the competitors in the market. There are no new entrants per se. But this is a very difficult and advanced technology to master. So it takes time to settle. Understood. Thanks a lot. Thank you. A reminder to all the participants to kindly limit their questions to one per participant. The next question is from the line of Pulkit Patni from Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead. Yeah. Thank you for taking my questions. Two questions. The first one, ma'am, while I completely understand there's been a mix change, but just my elementary understanding is that what you've done on High HP in this quarter is INR 900 crores of revenue, and this is a number you used to do on the overall power gen number till a few quarters back. Our understanding was that on the High HP is where you make the maximum margin because that's where our brand positioning is the strongest and competition is the least. So to that extent, can you explain what this mix change means? Because the contribution of the biggest HP segment seems to be the highest in the quarter. That's my question number one. Thanks for the question, Pulkit. So yes, there is the sales of around INR 900 crores in the High Horsepower segment definitely is there. But across all the different customer segments and applications that we sell, there is power gen here. There are industrial markets over here which have various different subsegments, and there is distribution business here. And there is a portfolio of products which goes in each of these three that I spoke about, power gen industrial distribution, different products that go in. And based on what volumes have gone up in which subsegment over here, the actual margin that you see is a play of that. High Horsepower is just a part of power gen. There are various other subsegments also in industrial where we had higher volumes, for example. Distribution also grew. So that comes into play over here. Pulkit, that is the reason you see the margin play out in this way. Sure. Maybe I was looking at it too simplistically. Now, my second question is on CapEx. Now, even if we leave aside what the parent said, given the fact that we finished our CapEx cycle about five years back, we've seen very strong growth in the last few years. Are we reaching a stage where we need to now plan new capacity, or we have sufficient capacity for the next few years? Even without adding something, we are in a good shape. Just I'm not trying to time it, but are we close to that start of the CapEx cycle for you again? We have been continuously adding CapEx over the last few years, continuously, slowly, steadily adding CapEx, and even today, we are evaluating. This is a continuous evaluation process, Pulkit. Well, you're right that there was a large CapEx cycle that we had five years ago. Even in the last five years, continuously, small CapEx has continued to be added, and there are many projects going on even now, sustenance projects, which for our facilities, which are going on, which are used for the upgrade of our manufacturing facilities, which are used to improve the output of the facility, build more utilizing the same lines. Also, some newer products require changes, so all of that has happened and is continuing to happen even now. Sure, so any CapEx number for next year that you would like to share with the investors? No, I won't be able to share that, Pulkit. No problem. Thank you for answering my questions. Thank you. Thank you. We'll take the next question from the line of Priyankar Biswas from BNP Paribas Exane. Please go ahead. Good morning, ma'am. My first question is regarding your distribution segment. Can I get some idea what would be the contribution of RECD and Dual Fuel Kits, let's say, in the distribution? The reason that I ask, I also want to get a sense of the continuity because I guess there is still a lot of, let's say, CPCB IV products that need to be converted. So can you throw some color on that aspect? Yeah. So we did see good contribution of the RECD Dual Fuel Kits in this quarter. But in the distribution business, the asset base in power gen and industrial segments on the ground at this point in time, which is managed by a distribution business, is really large. So the contribution of RECD as compared to what we do for our existing assets and also replacing engines, which are old, rebuilding them, doing all the AMC work for all our assets, that is really the larger contribution to the DB business. While I can definitely tell you that we have seen strong growth in the RECD product sale as well, which we continue to see because of large asset base in the power gen segment today, which is non-CPCB IV+, and certain government policies which keep coming in, or the CAQM efforts that happen in Delhi, or the GRAP guidelines that happen in Delhi, or different state pollution control boards which continue to come up with these guidelines for their states mandating the use of RECD or a Dual Fuel Kit. That is continuing at this point in time, so we will see that demand. So is it fair to say that this level of distribution, at least for the nine months that you have delivered, that should possibly continue or maybe grow in the next coming years? So would that be a fair assessment? We absolutely are endeavored to grow. As we continue to grow our asset base in the field, we definitely have endeavored to be able to service them and have them in our fold, so we definitely put in our efforts in that direction. Ma'am, just two small numbers that I require from your end. While you give us the breakup for industrials, would you mind to share the numbers for the water and marine specifically for the quarter? For the marine space for the quarter, we had around INR 20 crores of revenue for this quarter. And what else did you ask? Marine and? Compressors. Compressor. Yeah. For compressor in the quarter, we had INR 51 crores. Okay, ma'am. That's largely all from my side. Thank you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll take the last question for today, which is from the line of Shrinidhi Karlekar from HSBC. Please go ahead. Yeah. Hi. Thank you. My question is on export business. Would it be possible to comment on demand output for some of the large export markets like U.S., U.K., and China? Very difficult because we are in the evaluation phase of seeing the tariff impact at this point in time. What we have done in the past few months is we have made efforts to increase our exports to each of the markets that we operate in. From a product portfolio perspective, from channel perspective, our endeavor has gone in, and we are continuing to do that. But the tariffs have recently been announced, and that evaluation for different regions is happening, and the answer for different regions might be different. So very difficult to tell you at this point in time what that will end up in. Yeah. Thank you. And my second question really is on this order backlog on hand. I know you don't really quantify that number, but would you qualitatively comment whether your order backlog on hand is higher compared to the previous quarter, and how is it compared to the same period last year? Order backlog as compared to the last quarter, what we would have cleared would have been pretty similar. As compared to the last year, same quarter, we would have done better because we've executed better in this quarter. We've been able to work a lot in clearing our backlog. So definitely this year, this quarter, as compared to last year, much better. Clearance of backlog. Yeah. I was asking pending orders, ma'am. Is it more, or it has kind of? Do we have backlogs? You mean do we have backlogs? Yeah. Yeah. So So the backlog, is it higher or? We clear a lot of backlogs. We've really managed to execute and clear a lot of backlogs, to be honest, in this quarter. Okay. Understood. Thank you for answering my questions, and all the very best. Thank you. Thank you.
