Siliguri | 25th April 2022 | The Pulp and Paper Times:

The paper industry is witnessing a paradigm shift from the demand perspective, with demand for newsprint papers (NP) and printing writing papers (PWP) dwindling, given the rising impact of digitisation. At the same time, the packaging paper (PP) segment is witnessing a rise, with growing demand for packaging from e-commerce, food and food products, FMCG and the pharmaceutical sector. ICRA expects the healthy demand for packaging papers to drive growth for paper manufacturing companies in the medium term

“The increasing demand for packaging solutions to keep the finished products undamaged is likely to increase the application of Kraft papers in various end-use industries such as food & beverages, cosmetics & personal care automotive, packaging and paper, and consumer durables, which, in turn, is a primary factor expected to fuel the growth of the global Kraft Paper market,” Said Mr. Manish Agarwal, Managing Director of Kanha Paper Mills Pvt. Ltd. in a earlier interview to The Pulp and Paper Times

“We are very excited to have started production upon a Greenfield project of a paper mill based at Siliguri. Covid 19 situation has emerged out as a big demand booster for Kraft paper. Indian paper Industry was witnessing 7 to 8 percent annual growth during pre covid. We are expected that the paper industry will resume again same growth once the vaccine of Covid would be in the market. We hope our new Greenfield Project of 200 TPD will yield good returns on our investment,” said Mr. Agarwal.
