**Business Developments:**
Total sales volume, including exports, increased to 14.03 MMT from 13.43 MMT year-on-year. This growth was fueled by broad-based strength in domestic sales and a significant jump in export volumes to 0.45 MMT from 0.27 MMT.

**Investor Implications:**
The strong profit growth and substantial debt reduction indicate positive momentum for the company. However, investors should monitor the trend in GRM and marketing inventory fluctuations as these are crucial for future earnings stability.
