spending and growing EBO count which will further increase the average ticket value
which is currently at INR 1,200 per bill. Cotton prices continue to normalize, and the
expansion of Project Lakshya will lead to cost savings and efficiencies. Margins and
ASPs have bottomed out at this level and are only expected to go up from here.
