Targeting Pakistan, he said, «Unsubstantiated allegations by Pakistan largely pertain to the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

So, the stimulus that was announced in China is flowing very positively for the metal sector. On the back of the positive commentary that has come in from China, do you expect any kind of an uptick in prices because we were expecting some positive boost to come in when it comes to the real estate space and the manufacturing sector, but nothing meaningful had come in from China. Post this announcement, are you expecting an uptick in the metal prices? Kunal Kothari: Yes, of course, on the international front, we have already seen a good uptick in the steel prices. So, on a month-on-month basis, it has already gone up 15% from the bottom, that we saw last month. Similarly, a positive trend is continuing in India as well. In the last two weeks, we have seen a good turnaround in the trend and prices have actually moved up by around Rs 1000 to Rs 1500 per tonne. So, the stimulus which has been announced in China is actually flowing very positively for the metal sector.
