Summary
This report profiles Indias paper and paper
products industry, discussing market trends
through 2015 and outlook for 2016 and beyond. The
report also highlights leading players in the
sector including Ballarpur Industries Ltd, Tamil

existence since ancient times, experiencing a
paradigm change over the years. The existing
domestic paper mills employ diverse technologies-
from legacy to advanced methods. The paper mills
mainly use three types of raw material -
wood/chemical pulp, agro residues and recycled
fibre - to produce paper and paper products.
After a rapid consumption growth during the
2009-12 period, Indian paper industry experienced
a lull in FY13.

The rising raw material prices forced domestic
manufacturers to increase the prices of paper and
paper products. The industry saw a demand revival
and decline in raw material prices in FY14 which
brought some relief to the manufacturers.
However, raw material prices soared again in
FY15-16. This together with slug of cheap imports
from China and other Southeast Asian nations
negatively impacted the profit margins of most
paper producers. Domestic manufacturers were not
able to raise their prices to match the rise in
raw material costs due to the cheaper imports. In
order to remain competitive, paper-makers have
been seeking the government's intervention to
impose a 10 special additional duty on imports
of paper and paperboard on an actual-use
basis. This temporary slowdown has forced the
industry players to rethink their growth
strategy. Some have deferred their expansion
plans while others scaled-down operations. Going
further, decline in profitability might stimulate
consolidation in the industry over the next few
years.
