We will also have election uncertainty after six months. We believe that the market should spend some more time in the 18,000-20,000 before making further progress backed by earnings. How would you evaluate the market at the moment? You are seeing it largely being range-bound. Is this a phase of consolidation? Will there be more buying opportunities?

So, currently, the Indian micro is doing very well. Corporate India is reporting strong earnings growth. Even the PMI activity reported is on a good side. The Indian economy is doing well.
