Madam I have gone through the performance of the company in the notice and Annual Report and the way you have explained is very, very satisfactory.

So, ma'am -- and we have -- our management is very strong and really efficient. I support all your agendas and done the voting already. My one question is that what is the roadmap you give to the -- for next 2 to 3 years and the guidance to the investors community as I'm a shareholder, so guidance is very much required. When you go through this all railway -- this and cooking, this is a very big, big event to really do it. How we do our -- manage our set point of view. So if you please elaborate that?

We move to our next speaker shareholder, Kaushik Stahuka. Request you to please proceed with the question.
Good afternoon, everyone. First up, I would like to thank the Board of Directors for giving me opportunity to speak in for many of you would remember me from the conversation in past years, so I'll keeps both my interaction and speech brief. I hope I'm clearly audible.
Yes. You are, sir.
Thank you, very much. Myself, Kaushik Shahuka, a qualified and practitioner chartered accountant from Mumbai. I have a disease called dystonia which has rendered 55% of my body paralyzed, impacting my right hand, my right leg and my speech. While I have not let that come in -- helping me control to a serve client. I hope I'm clearly audible till now.
You are very clearly audible, please go ahead.
I would refer to our conversation we had last year about me working for our organization. On [indiscernible] work including on [indiscernible] -- however, nothing has progressed since. While I understand things have, however, progressed [indiscernible] last year, I do hope that after our conversation today, a company will start [indiscernible] as soon as possible. Once again, thank you for the opportunity to speak today and I hope to see a positive moment forward with my act. I will put all the resolution, it will be appreciated if the company can actually help me in the [ verification ] area. I am also -- yes, I know this is not a forum to speak this matter, but how else can I reach to you? Finally, any update on plan [indiscernible], I have read email including, I think, INR [ 1000 ] crore company. Why the plan has [indiscernible] discussion there are also planned to include Budget Hotel in close vicinity among various cities. Any update on this plan? And also, I heard rumors in the market at all off-line booking will be shifted to a IRCTC web portal. Any update on the same -- all of train bookings to [indiscernible] actions quickly -- and why it comes to other [indiscernible] plan like selling revenue, it is taken very fast of [indiscernible] ticket of the train [indiscernible] I recommend that tickets of train and cruise [indiscernible] at consistent rate along places of their choice, this will increase revenue of the company by making all sales happy...
Thank you. Thank you.
We move to our next speaker shareholder, Rishib Jain, request you to please proceed with question.
Good afternoon, respected Chairperson, Board of Directors members and my fellow shareholder members attending this e-meeting, I'm an IP allottee of IRCTC. And obviously, the company has left no stone unturned in the annual report. And I don't have any question regarding the financial trends of the company. But since I've got an opportunity using the forum, I want to put forth a few of my doubts and forward my feelings regarding the railways. My first question is that, as a matter of fact, and we discussed in the AGM as well that around -- or more than 50% of the tickets currently being booked through the IRCTC platform, right? So I want to just know about that, why is it so that IRCTC also charges the convenience charges through its platform. while we are moving forward to make India more and more digital, and it is not being charged on the off-line ticketing -- that sounds right. My second question is that as respected Chairperson has discussed that IRCTC is running more and more tourist special trains and Bharat Gaurav, Buddhist Circuit Trains, Ramayana Circuit Trains, et cetera. But again, I sincerely feel that the fares of this train is much higher as compared to other premium trains of the country, which makes it out of the reach of many. Also the time duration and travel of these trains is much higher for most of the people, as you know, we all are working class. It makes it difficult for us to use such types of trains and I feel that the journey durations as well as the fares should be a bit less to make it more effective. Right. My third question I just want to put forward my question is regarding basically the railways house. So -- in railways, you may know there is a special type of ticketing known as reservation against cancellation or REC type in most of the AC sleeper class trains, including the premium ones like Duronto and Rajdhani, et cetera. But when a person is allotted an REC seat -- he is still charged the full fair of the seat, whereas actually 2 people are traveling on that seat. And I just want to, through this forum, make this reach forward, that why is it so that a person, if he's not given entire berth is being charged actually more because these trains also have dynamic fares as you may know, right? So and lastly, I would also like to ask that can ma'am Chairperson throw some light on this lately growing news of monetization plan of IRCTC. It would be great if we could hear from the words of our respective ma'am. And if you can throw some light on it. And I would like to thank giving me the opportunity to put forward my doubt and connect with you so much easily. I would also like to thank the moderator. They managed all the things perfectly fine. Thank you once again.
Thank you.
We move to our next speaker shareholder Ajay [indiscernible] on audio.
Sir, am I audible?
Yes.
Basically, I have 2 options, actually questions. The first question is before a year ago, actually I was traveling from Ahmedabad to [indiscernible] Jaipur -- so what happened is -- yes, yes, yes.
Please go ahead, please.
Yes, as someone was calling my name -- Firstly, I was traveling from Ahmedabad to Jaipur. So what happened is I have booked an offline ticket. So somehow, I forget ticket at my home. But I have the picture of that off-line ticket. So once I was trying to enter in the station, it was not allowed. They were asking for the physical ticket as I have booked the ticket off line. So this is the thing that actually make very [indiscernible] with the customers and the passengers. The second thing is actually, I was traveling through the IRCTC just before a day ago from Ahmedabad to Delhi. So I have seen that I was traveling with the [indiscernible]. So I have seen that there are only 2 plugs available for the charging around 8 or 10 people. And today's generation -- as you all that it's [indiscernible] the mobile and electricity like laptops and almost work from home, work from the office. So these are the 2 suggestions from my side.
Ajay Ji, we have noted, I'll be answering all together. Maybe moderator, we can go ahead further.
We move to our next speaker shareholder, Prashant Kumar on audio, I request you to please unmute your line and proceed.
Can you hear me?
Yes, we can hear but you can you speak a bit louder -- a bit louder.
Yes. Okay. Can you hear me now? Okay. So I had a question regarding this tatkal ticket booking. I was trying to book a tatkal, but on the website, at the time of tatkal ticketing, it will keep on refreshing. And sometimes, my money gets deleted from the account and after 7 days, it gets credited back. So are you going to improve this tatkal ticketing problem for the coming future. I wanted to know that. And the second question was, how are you planning to move your company towards eco-friendly? So simply now that plastic is going to ban and there is a huge ban on the plastic, so what about the rail meals and food and catering business? How is it going to impact the business? Under what -- how you are going to factor the cost, which is going to increase when we are moving from the plastic to another or eco-friendly resources. How are you going to cut the cost of that? And my third question was, so our company has a long journey. So where do you see our company after a decade, like after 10 years, where do you see our company? And where do you see this -- how we are going to ticket booking and catering services since tourism is going to evolve? And what is your vision on that? And how are we going to achieve that vision. So thank you very much. Thank you to the moderator for connecting me. And that's my question.
Thank you. We move to our next speaker shareholder Ajay Kumar Jain, requested to please [indiscernible]
[Foreign Language]
Thank you. We move to our next speaker shareholder, Vimal Krishna Sarkar on audio. Please unmute your audio.
Vimal, you need to be a bit louder.
It is [indiscernible] Krishna Sarkar. Vimal [indiscernible]
[Foreign Language]
There is some interruption in the line. So we will change the connection for Vimal Sarkar.
You can take him up again. Til the audio link is live, you can take him again. We can go to the next shareholder.
Yes. Our next speaker shareholder, Lokesh Gupta. Hello?
[Foreign Language]
Thank you. We move to our next speaker shareholder, Manoj Kumar Gupta. Manoj ji, please unmute you audio/video and proceed.
Hello. Yes. [Foreign Language]. Respected Chairperson, Board of Directors, fellow shareholders, my name is Manoj Gupta, I am equity shareholder of IRCTC. I've joined this meeting from my residence in Kolkata. Thanks to you and your board for the best and excellent result of the company and thanks to the company's secretary to help us join this meeting through VC. And thanks for your dividend that you are paying the dividend and I have some few questions. More guest houses at devotional places that present government is focusing to inspire the people to visit our old devotional places. So you should try to start some more guest houses or some affordable hotels at devotional places like Uri, Rameswaram and other places, so that we can afford that guest houses of IRCTC. And you should launch some more devotional trains like as Ramayana Express and others. And why is it not the Howrah that eastern region that you are not starting more devotional trains from Howrah. These politicians may come and may go, but company will be there and ministry will be there. But you should focus in this part because it's 11 -- more than 29 crores people are residing in this part. Do not ignore this part of the country and try to launch some more devotional trains from this part. So this particular also want to enjoy the IRCTC like as Buddha Express and others, to visit the Lord Rama's places. So you should focus to launch some trains on this part also. And disputed cases amount of INR 205 crores on Page 219 to 221. So what is your view in this regard? And your expenses on Page 263 has gone up by approximately 20%. So you should try to reduce the expenses because expenses have also gone up. And your income has gone up to INR 869 crores to INR 1,952 crores on Page 227. And you are putting a logo on the vendors and the suppliers in the trains that no paid, no billing -- no bill, no pay. [Foreign Language] I frequently use your trains. And I'm proud to travel in the trains, not in aircraft because [Foreign Language] you should improve the quality, otherwise [Foreign Language]
Mr. Gupta, sorry to interrupt you. May I request you to remain [indiscernible]
Why are you disturbing, I'm raising the relevant question about the passenger and service...
In the interest of the others, we will request you to keep your comments [indiscernible]
I agree with you, but I will take 2 minutes more. The Chairman is listening. There was -- the issue are there.
Let him complete, moderator. But you need to be a bit short, sir.
Yes, yes, I agree with you. I have a great respect to you, but you see in the first week of August -- in the second week of August and you have canceled all the trains, IRCTC canceled all the trains at a sudden, from Kolkata to [indiscernible], Kolkata to Mumbai all trains. People have suffered a lot in the festival times like Bombay Mail, Pune, Azad Hind, every train was canceled. So how much loss you have faced, due to cancel of all trains in the second week of August and how you will compensate those who have faced the problems. Think about that and try to improve the services and try to improve the quality of food. And make sure that rail meals should be available in the trains -- and people should not face any problem.
Thank you. You. Please move to the next question.
The next question is from the line of Vimal Krishna Sarkar on audio. Please proceed.
[Foreign Language]
I think there is some connection issue again. We will move to our next speaker shareholder. yes, Kshadananda Shastri has registered [indiscernible] meeting. Okay. The next speaker shareholder is Murli on audio. Please unmute yourself and proceed. Yes, sir, please go ahead.

[Foreign Language]
Yes, can we have the next question please.
Yes. We have the next speaker shareholder, Santosh Chopra. He's registered, however, not joined the meeting. We will move to our next speaker shareholder Atindar Kumar.
I'm very happy to see the performance of the company. But my one question is with this performance, when can we expect our shares are value to go up to INR 2,000, madam? I think that is that we, as a shareholder, would like to give you the target of reaching the share value of INR 2,000 at the earliest. Second thing is, I've been trying to try once in the Palace on Wheels train, but the tickets are so expensive that I just have to log out and say goodbye to it always. So I request you to see that it is affordable to a common man like us and not only for people who can afford to travel in flights. I think I have questions, there are only 2 questions and kindly see that our share value goes up to INR 2,000 at the earliest.
We move to our next speaker shareholder Manilal Aurora. He's registered, however, not joined the meeting. Also Sanjeev Kumar Jain is registered, but not joined the meeting.

Respected Chairperson, distinguished directors and all the members of the company. Madam, I feel extremely happy to attend this meeting and see that so many directors are listening to our views who are all experts in their own field of specialization. My congratulations for accelerating a report containing about 300 pages with beautiful photographs and all plans, charts, et cetera, et cetera. I would also like to appreciate these corporate governance excellence recognition of last year, and I hope it will be this year also. I would also like to mention that the public sector enterprise is putting more efficiently than many of the private sector good companies also particularly from service point of view. And I would now like to put some questions with a view to increase my understanding and appreciation of the working of the company. Ms. Kanika, I'm speaking from Mumbai. Now my first special is that all the railway services have not yet started after the disturbance of 19 last year. In the current year also, perhaps all the trends have not started. So my question is that what is the percentage of railway services, which have started and when we will reach the optimal capacity of this particular service? Now my next question is that we are doing excellent CSR work spending about INR 10 crore. You have given the details. You have given the direct benefit received by beneficiaries who are most deserving. You have also given the list of our services. However, what I wish to point out is that our expense has a multiplier effect, in addition to the direct benefit, it has a multiplier effect or a ripple effect. These economic impact of our services are now being related and calculated by independent agencies. So we should also try to get it rated independently. And that will give the true picture or a or consumer multiple is 12x the standing on CSR. My next question, it is regarding our water bottling plants. I would like to know that how much area of India has been covered reach our own plants and some of the plants, we are likely to put up in the next 2 to 3 years? Our target should be to reach the whole of India so that the consumer can get water at reasonable rates throughout the country. Then I would like also like to know that who are looking after our IT services, just as State Bank of India is managed by TCS or the Income Tax Department services are looked after by Infosys. Similarly, which is the organization IT company, which is looking after all our actual because we find it excellent. And I would now like to come in INR 1,000, 20%, 30%, what it should value today. And I am sure such an exercise will give an idea to the investor that what benefit he has realized. And I also find that our company is shareholder friendly. You have even so many bonuses and spread the share. My request is that, that [ bleed ] the share from INR 2 to INR 1 immediately. It does not create any problem, but it will take...
[indiscernible]
Yes, only 2 minutes more at the age of 83.
Keep it brief.
We can permit him. He is a senior most member investor who has joined us.
I would also request that when you talk about religious leaders or saying, or things like Ramayan Express, the prefix should be S-R-I and not S-H-R-I. S-H-R-I is meant for what is likely to be of great importance, particularly to Japanese visitors. So I am keen on knowing whether this is also started or not? Then my next question is regarding budget hotels. It will be a great help to various travelers, we have, at present, some facilities at various stations. They are from the Britisher's time and the services are also poor. So since you have made everything up to date, why don't you provide new services at a faster pace than what is being done, and I would also like to see that our company is included amongst the numerous companies of India. We are doing an excellent job. Not only that, we are providing services, which is very difficult, and here, I would like to appreciate once again that the services, which we get in the railways are of international standards. Manpower is not available in foreign countries. While in India, we get excellent personal services for the. It is for us also to be courteous with the railway staff...
Kalesh, I request to be a little brief.
One last thing. The stalls for investors et cetera at railway stations, they are of excellent standard giving excellent service and congratulations to you. I wish every success in all your efforts in the times to come.

Next speaker shareholder, Jasmeet Singh.
Hello? Am I audible?
Yes.
Yes, you are. We [indiscernible].
Before I start, actually, I must request that this 2-minute limit is actually awfully low, and doesn't allow us to convey all our feelings. This is the only time when we meet in a 1 year, okay? And I'll alternate to this would be that you allow me to come over and interact with you one to one. Anyway, let me now read my notes. Chairman Madam, the year under review was a very challenging year, given the continued COVID pandemic. However, it is heartening to see that our working picked up despite adverse conditions. The top line growth is satisfactory and consequent improvement in operating and net profit margins. And I'm thankful to the management to have considered and proposed a higher dividend of INR 3.55 this year. I understand that this has been possible due to the hardworking and focused approach by our leadership team. Now as the working has been shared by you in your presentation, and has given us a fair amount of information, which is assuring of a very bright future. The ticketing, the tourism, the food, the water, all verticals are doing well, and I foresee continued growth in all these verticals. I have a few requests to make. My first advise is with regard to the Delhi Amritsar sector, where a lot of trains are already operating, but you see there has been a tremendous rush to go to and basically say, Golden Temple, by the visitors. So my request is that the way we have Morning Rajdhani and Evening Rajdhani and other trains on a daily basis. My request is that even Jal Shatabli should also be operated both in the morning and evening every Day. This will facilitate people with, say, moderate economic situations. The other request is with regard to the 75th year of independence as our Prime Minister has declared that it is a big time occasion the Amrit Mahotsav is being celebrated, and I want to concise this to our offering. I was just wondering, in case we can give an option to the say, Indian people at large to book it, say, ticket for a value of INR 75,000, okay? That INR 75,000, you allow 100, say, this travel during next, say, 5 years, okay? This will come at a -- I mean to say, you will get a lot of money for your, say, progress and people will lap it, okay? And for people who want to, say, opt for, say, second AC traveling or first AC traveling, you may charge even, say, INR 715,000 also. And allow, say, a family travel or, say, 2 or 3 persons. So that's my point which I want to make and request if you can consider, it will be a good proposition for you. Before I end my note, my sincere appreciation for the good corporate governance, Head of Finance, Ajit G, Madam Suman Kalra is working fantastically. And my all appreciation and thanks to you all.
We will go to our next speaker shareholder, Akash Agarwal.
I hope I'm audible?
Yes.
Yes, you are Akash. Go on.
I'll try to keep my questions brief. The first question is what is IRCTC doing to prevent revenue leakages, give you a simple example of not being able to book tickets at 11 at 10:00 for the AC, 11:00 for non AC. The website and Ad Master not up to the mark. So that is the first question. And a follow-up on the first one is the IPay Payment Gateway launch is not up to the mark, right, concerning the other payment gateway also show on the map. So what is the company doing on that? The second question is what new avenues is IRCTC exploring to see a decent jump in our profits and revenue, right? I mean recently you've come out with the data monetization proposal and launching payment gateway. So what are the revenue -- what are the revenues is IRCTC is targeting sort of to monetize. The third final question is, what are there any challenges that might prevent IRCTC from sort of looking at our greater jump in revenue because I mean, considering the fact that government at a point told we want the largest share of the profits and then the restock as needed to lower certain, so what is the -- how is the company planning to sort of approach that? These are the only 3 questions.
Our next speaker shareholder, Sushi Jain.

First of all, madam, I would to know that what will be the growth in the IRCTC because sometimes we provide very low quality of food.

And nothing like I wish the company [indiscernible].
[Foreign Language]
Next speaker shareholder is...
I think only 2 questions. Yes.
Hello, am I audible?
[Foreign Language]
Yes, Kanika.
Very, very thanks to the staff for giving the manifold profit in financial year '22 as compared to year '21. There is no doubt in the financial statements of annual report. First of all, I would like to know that in this improved scenario in domestic market after the pandemic, shall you expect a bonus share? Second, what steps has the board taken to monitor that shareholders' interest as protected. The management will continue to hold the AGM through VC, which enables the shareholders residing at faraway places like me to interact with the management.
We move to our next speaker shareholder Ravi Kumar Reddy.
Moderator, I think to say Ravi Kumar is the last one?
Yes, madam. This is the last caller.
Hello? In budget hotel of Lucknow, Gujrat and Kewadiya, what will be our payback here, and how we make investment in this hotel. And we said 10% transaction, trains not providing [ background ] to passengers, our request please allow them. That is my question.
Over to you, madam.
So let me thank all the shareholders. I would like to name more light to name them. Sujan Modid, Roshib, Rishib Jain, Ajay, Prashant Kumar, Ajay Kumar Jain, and Vinay Krishna Sarkar, Lokesh Gupta, Manosh Kumar Gupta, Modli, and Santosh Kumar. We have received a mail also from your side, then the Atindar Kumar. Then we have Ankur Chanda, Shivam Agarwal, then we have Salesh from Mumbai, the senior most member, Jaydeep Bukshi, Jasmeet and Akash Agarwal, Jain, Ashok Kumar Jain, Chetan Chadda, Pramod Jain, Shekar Reddy, who could not attend and Abishek, Kanika Jain and lastly Ravi. And so I will -- most of the questions, I think, of generic type, which I would like to answer here. Mr. Lokesh Gupta [Foreign Language]. You said what are the guidelines for the investors? We are gradually and normally putting up our -- all our financial performances and clearing the doubts of the investor in all the investor calls that we do. So most of the doubts of the investors are cleared in those calls. Even after that, if some doubts are still left, we have a CIR cell here, Chief Investment Relations Office cell is here, who are available. The calls are being attended and being answered. And you are concerned, how do you manage on the main safety on the pain for a buyer, et cetera, we are providing specific training to our catering staff along with our license through our rail at officers and the railway cells, especially in being managed for that. Then the second question being asked from by Sri Koshik. First of all, thank you for the appreciation given to the company. And you had asked something about the budget hotel and sharing of the revenue and the places of the choice for the employees. Sir [Foreign Language] but when it is not possible, then they are transferred. Then all tickets are not on the website, it is only the 81% of the tickets that are being booked. I think from that news it has come, it was incorrect. It is only the 81% of the inventory of the Indian railways that is being sold online. As far as the budget hotel is concerned, I've already covered in my speech, and it is all -- full chapter is also there in our annual report. About the budget hotel. As of now, for your consumption, I can always say that we are coming up budget hotel Lucknow very soon. Gajrao, Kewadiya are in stages of construction. And we are also in talks with the other state governments to have the budget hotel soon. And as far as the sharing of the revenue with the railway is concerned, it is done as for the MOU done with the Indian railways and since it is a guideline, and we have made it very clear, and the date has to be complied with. Rishib [Foreign Language] because the customer goes there, spend carbon point and then buys. He wastes his time. So I will suggest Rishib book online. I promote my company here, book online. So you will save all this. So that is why -- since we are providing convenience to the customer that is why the convenience fee is charged. So as far as the tourist is concerned is whether our Buddhist train are moving, yes, we are working in a full swing. And all our trains are going to be there. You said fares are higher. So fares are higher in correspondence with the railway charges, off board cost and onboard costs. As you know, that there has been some inflation from here. And the cost of the railways has also gone up as far as the tourist train is concerned. So per we have to increase, but we are trying to compensate. Maybe the list I'm going to tell you in the one of the questions will also have the reduced dates for this testing, where we have also reduced our -- I think no investor would like to reduce our margins. So that is why I will not be able to reduce it to beyond a certain extent. So [Foreign Language] time has to be reduced, yes, we have considered your request in that this request we had received from the others also. [Foreign Language]. Beyond that, I will not be able to, otherwise customers will have to shed out more money. [Foreign Language] we are trying to make only 9 to 10 days itinerary. So that customer is able to finish that. After that, we are not able to justice with the subject. You said RAC, [Foreign Language] these are the rules of the Indian Railways, we will convey your point to Indian Railway, sir. Rajat has asked that in the offline ticket may I think...
Physically produce the ticket.
When you go, you have to physically produce the ticket, if you don't have the ticket. Actually, your ticket has authority to travel. And you have read a word ticket [Foreign Language]. It is nontransferable. Without ticket, physical ticket, if you have booked through online, you are charged, you are considered as without ticket. No amount of explanation can help. This is the rule in the Indian Railways act. So I suggest you buy online, sir, travel with. Use IRCTC portal for that. It is your company's portal. And as far as IRCTC Ahmedabad train you have mentioned, sir, that less mobile charging points, I have noted down, I'll convey to right authorities. Then, this Prashant Kumar [Foreign Language] that there are some glitches, yes, because the demand is more and the supply is less. The main cause is this. When we have a tatkal booking, we have multiple log-ins and lags, whereas the inventory available is less, so there is going to be some shortage somewhere. There can be a probability that the money gets debited, ticket is not book, but I will make sure [Foreign Language] then the money gets refunded you soon. As far as the online mode is concerned, it requires improvement. We are working my team, along with my senior officers are working very hard to improve the katkal booking. And as far as the eco-friendly railway system is concerned, sir. As far as the -- since IRCTC is very responsible organization, we are responsible for the ecological balance also. So there is a concept called employers. There's producers' responsibility. So that producer like under that all zones have now tied up with the with an agency who will be collecting the plastic bottles from all the stations and then salvaging them and then submitting the report to the central control pollution board for which the points will be given to us. And we have strictly compliant, all our agencies are mostly on gold, and we would be complying that. In the long journey, you have mentioned about the tourism packages, sir. And the catering, you said catering has to evolve. Yes, we are working very hard along with our team to evolve the catering better, so that we are able to deliver. And for that, we are going to appoint a third-party auditor also. Ajay from Delhi thank you very much, sir. [Foreign Language]. For all other shareholders, few questions which I have not been able to answer, shall be answered through mail to us. Rest assured all your questions in query will be answered and addressed to by our partner, by us also. Then it is Vimal Krishnan Sarkar has joined, but I think he could not join. Mr. Lokesh Gupta mentioned that we should link our total with the cab hotel, et cetera, hotel facilities is there, but it is limited to only 8,000 hotels are there. But we have now tying up with one of the partners. We are going to bring more hotels. As far as the cab is concerned, sir, we have a native apps of the caps also earlier, we are tied up with the Ola, et cetera, Ola and Uber. But the results were not very encouraging. You certainly -- as a shareholder, you would not like that the other big use of your mileage and using your brand name, in turn, you are not getting good amount. So that is a job of management to look into. So that was not being complied with. So we prefer not to have a cab as of now. Maybe subsequently we may think of, I don't deny that. You said about the bonus case. These decisions are taken by governing body LIPA, which is a regulatory body in this connections. Manoj Kumar Gupta [Foreign Language] we have -- we are moving trains, other Bharat Darshan are going to run in various circuits. Other than the Ramanaya that circuit we are going to cover. Jasmeet [Foreign Language] then we are going to -- very soon we are going to have Sri Vishnu Devi yatra also and yatra. [Foreign Language] And you said expenses have gone up. Yes, sir, management is keeping complete check over the expenses. And you said our vendor is using a logo, no bill no payments. Yes, [Foreign Language], please let us know. This company management knows so that we can take up with such vendor. They have to comply with it. If they don't comply, they are penalized heavily. As far as the railway nonavailability is concerned, Bilaspur initially had few hiccups because we had certain challenges because of the some charges being realized by Chattisgarh government. So our costing on that area had gone up. So production was also badly affected. So there I don't deny that there was no failure at Bilaspur, but now it has been looked after and all supplies from the Bilaspur has been taken care of. So let me, if any problem is there, sir, let me know, we'll handle that. Then Mr. Shastri could not join us. And Murli on audio, [Foreign Language]. Saurav, [Foreign Language] Share value to go up. It's for you to make it up, sir. We can only perform and give you the good results. [Foreign Language] employee of the IRCTC along with the management [Foreign Language]. We are leaving no stone unturned to provide best of all of them and bringing good heights for the company that you can see from the past results and the results to come. And telephone wheel is not your company's product. It is RTDC's product. So I cannot offer you any discount in RTDC. However, I can say, these are luxury trains and a lot of expenditure is required in them. So that is why their rates are high. But you in commensuration with the services and the luxury travel that providing, the rates are in commensuration with that. So maybe you can experience Golden Chariot and Maharaja Express once we have a domestic offer for you. Ankut Chadda [Foreign Language] there has to be some communication. We have noted Ankut and will take care in the future. Shivam Agarwal [Foreign Language] split is done as per the guideline they should by the DIPAM. And after that, yes, there was some one day here for which I have answered him on the investor call and one of the media channels also. Since I've already answered, I'm not going to take up this again. Salesh [Foreign Language]. Thank you very much Salesh. And for the excellent remarks that you have given us for the company's good effort being taken. Salesh since you mentioned [Foreign Language] I'll answer. That most of the activities, most of the trains and the activities of the railways have started. In fact, our optimum capacity has been achieved. As you can see in the past, our bookings had also gone up. We have been able to utilize all our CSR budget, and we are also planning to utilize in more judicious manner, so that most of the classes of the -- as per our CSR policy are covered. And you said some independent audit has to be done. Yes, sir, we are in process of appointing independent auditor and also for doing the customer satisfaction service for which you see -- you will see the results soon, and will be posting on the website also. How much area acreage drinking water has covered. So far, it has covered nearly 70% with the upcoming pipe more part, it would be covering nearly 80 more percent. And IT services, we are working with multiple vendors. First of them, we are being -- our services are being provided our technological partner who is a Railway Buddy, a very esteemed body who is providing us services and association with the Ministry of Railways. And in addition to this, we are working with multiple -- the list is huge. So maybe we would like to share that through mail. [Foreign Language]. We have noted, but as far as you know, sir, these decisions are taken by Ministry of Finance under which the body DIPAM is there, that will be taking. Then you have corrected our spellings of Sri Ramanaya, that instead of Shri Ramanaya, we should use Sri Ramanaya, [Foreign Language] we we'll certainly come forward, sir, because [Foreign Language]. Buddhist Circuit Train, sir, we will update you on this front, budget hotel, your good wishes for Navratna, your blessings are required. Jaydeep Bukshi, [Foreign Language] he said fuel prices are up and catering, a really cybersecurity but all we are doing to improve the quality. In the cybersecurity, sir, your system is quite slow where you are doing transaction. And we are maintaining all the higher cybersecurity standards. The details which we would be sharing up very soon. Delhi Water, one of the best water and is the winner of a customer -- consumer award many times. In the last 2 years, we had not applied for that award. Maybe we'll see that such plots come back to IRCTC again. And single step 2 program, you said and the 2 programs are very long that point, we have noted. You are concerned to some better quality of food, yes sir, we are on the job and we are tying up with the multiple agencies, also changing our tendor conditions for that the good water is are associated with us. And Jasmeet Singh, thank you very much the year do was very, very challenging because bringing the tourism back on the platform, we were pioneers. We were the first one who could bring and you know that all our verticals, including the [indiscernible] is back in this financial year 2022, '23. So we are back with the bang, we all support from the investors. [Foreign Language] we'll certainly pass your request to the railways. And you mentioned about the 75 years of independence and ticket [Foreign Language], so it does not pertain to IRCTC directly. It's concerned to the railway we would like to pass that to railways. We'll request them to take care of that if possible. Akash, you mentioned about the revenue, thank you, that make all the -- we have received your request, in fact, through mail also. [Foreign Language] I have noticed you wanted that what good new revenues does the IRCTC to double the revenue on the profits in the 4 to 5 years that we would be answering through e-mail. It's a very grid reply, which might we could be answering to you. And then you are concerned about the profit. So decent profit that we have shared and we have shared a decent dividend with all the investors and hope that trend will continue. And in fact, our sharing of the dividend with the investors has to be the tune of from the 2017 onwards, it has always been in the tune of 39% to 42%, has always been ranging in that. And the first lady speaker, Sashi Jain, thank you very much for your appreciation. Akash Kumar I have spoke about concern -- about the quality of food, sir. We have noted you are concerned. And we'll turn no stone unturned to provide you good quality. Then Chetan Chadda and Pramod, he could not join us. Pramod Kumar [Foreign Language]. We will certainly work on this, in next meeting does not happen again. Abishek [Foreign Language] we have received. So the question you had asked about the EBITDA and the margins, et cetera, and you had also asked about the production capacity. In April, May and June '22, '23 years, the capacity has been nearly more than 75%. In '21, '22, it was less because of the post effect of the COVID. And what the management efforts to improve the return on the capital employed and net debt to EBITDA. I must mention that it's company. So actually, net debt to EBITDA, could not -- we for that we take the liabilities as the base. So that is as to the guidelines. In fact, it is not actually applicable to our company. So that is our answer. We will be giving you a detailed reply through mail. Kanika, our second female speaker, thank you for monitoring. Thank you for sharing your experience. Then Ravi Kumar, you mentioned about the budget hotel, our payback period is nearly 20 years, sir. So that is my answer. So whosoever is left, you would like to answer more and more, but I'll try to summarize and concise the whole thing. I hope I have been able to address all the queries. In case any queries left that we would be answering soon, or we would be mailing them the detailed reply for the same. Thank you very much for being -- staying with us and long live IRCTC, I will say this.
