What is the peak revenue we can expect from this plant?
Ashish Maheshwari

So what I would like to mention here is that this plant is firstly a backward integration project, and secondly this plant will open up new markets for us after we get the EU-GMP approval.
Ashish Maheshwari
qa
Let’s say six months after we operationalize this plant, we hope to get the EU-GMP approval, and once we get the EUGMP approvals there will be many more markets that should open up for us in Southeast Asia, in Central African and in Latin America also.

Q
How much of the new machineries and this thing has been ordered out and are our limits also in place from the banks?

Q
I had a query on the cost front. So how do you see the trajectory of solvent prices and the different APIs? Since the base prices have started declining so has that passed on to solvent prices and APIs and others in Q3 as well?
Ashish Maheshwari
API was in a rising trajectory for the past one year so, but from the in last 2-3 months we have seen prices softening both in APIs and in packing materials. Going forward, we think the up- ward trajectory has now plateaued out and prices will go down a bit, but they will definitely not go up from here now, because there was a major increase in raw material price. And in terms of the solvent prices, which is linked to crude, that has declined significantly? No, I am not in a position to tell you about solvent prices, right now I am only following API prices.
