The obligation revisions have alleviated the uncertainties linked to international markets and set the tone for a faster correction within the near-term. As of mid-June, costs are already at ₹62,000-64,000 per tonne and will be anticipated to pattern under ₹60,000 per tonne by the tip of the fiscal.”
