The company anticipates increases in\ntransportation costs and potential rises in prices for certain raw\nmaterials.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, to date, the impact on operational costs is considered\nnot significant. Management is also continuously conducting active\nmonitoring of developments in global commodity prices.<\/p>\n<p>Such strategies include diversifying suppliers with a focus on local\nand regional sources, optimising inventory management, and operational\ncost efficiency without reducing service quality.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the company is also adjusting marketing strategies to\nmaintain demand as well as strict monitoring of macroeconomic and\ngeopolitical conditions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jain, these steps aim to ensure the company remains\nadaptive and resilient in facing global dynamics.<\/p>",
