“NBS will bring that on board by the end of this month. Also energy index, at what rate is price fluctuating in this sector?

“Farm produce index, what is the rate of price volatility of these products, and at what rate are prices of items in this sector moving? So these are the special indices that we are going to release at the end of this month.”
