When talked to, without calling Campa, D'Souza pointed out, "A brand new player coming in along with a various cost factor interfered with the industry. While on paper it is actually Rs 10 versus Rs 10, the other piece that you possess, I mean ... it really did not surface quickly good enough, was that it was while the Rs 10 coincided to the buyer, the trade cost was actually considerably various.
