Khavda, we had planned for a capacity of 1,255 MW. But this got delayed primarily because of the pooling substation getting delayed a little bit, which got commissioned now lately in April, and we are going to start bringing the capacities of Khavda this year. We are planning in the Q1 itself around 600 MW."
