Tariff related uncertainty is definitely something that nobody has ever experienced before and is something that we are engaged with our customers in finding a resolution.
In the medium to longer term, you will see the center of gravity shift back to our India operations as manufacturing India becomes larger and more lucrative.
We expect 27 to be a very good year with the second half being driven more robustly with some of these interruptions behind us and both across exports and the commencement of deliveries for the domestic defense orders of ATAGS and carbines.
This 2500 is for this current capex and then it'll also give us a strong base for any additional capex that we may need for further growth. We like to have cash on the balance sheet. At least 2000 odd crores of cash on the balance sheet and it's good. It'll help us accelerate our growth going forward.
On aerospace we will double our business in the next two years or so. And then on the semiconductor side, I think we are aiming for something in the region of 30-40 million of business in the next 2 years organically and then we also have to set up some machining facilities which will then allow us to grow that business almost double it.
