India (metro & non-metro circuits)
North America, Middle East, UK, and Australia markets, which are abroad

As of Day 16, industry sources indicate that:
Domestic net collections are close to a record level
Foreign earnings have exceeded expectations and are contributing substantially to the global figure
Global gross is almost closing in on the ₹800 Crore mark
