On one palm, footfalls have actually enhanced and same-store sales development is also more powerful than June whereas, however, the damaging trait is actually that there is a single compose of around Rs 120 crore and also it will certainly be partly soaked up in Q2 and Q3.If you examine mid-term as well as long-term effect, after that it is actually not positive.
