Power supply is extremely poor in southern states and financially the mills are in bad conditions due to extended working capital requirement because of long credit period by the makret.
How long this association has been existing? Since inception of association how many paper mills there were. In this duration how many paper mills were closed and what were the reasons of closure?
The association is existence from 1988 onwards. Initially only 7 paper mills in southern India. 21 paper mills are closed over a period of 15 years. Mainly viability of the unit, non-availability of raw material at the required price, highly volatile market, etc.
What are the major activities of South Kraft Paper Mills Association?
Coordinating with the mills and communicating market activities, exchange of information, coordinating with State/Central Governments.

In last 3 years how many paper mills have been started and in next 1 year how many paper mills are going to be started despite of down in paper sale?
Many Paper mills have been started and 7 paper mills expanded and 3-5 mills are going to be started in southern states.
Recently Govt of India has released notification about financial support to the industrial clusters for common effluent water treatment.
How this common effluent water treatment scheme could be beneficial for the Southern Paper Mills in view of water pollution? What industrial cluster (name of the cluster) are required this kind of common effluent water treatment?
Common effluents treatment plants are not possible in southern India since the mills are situated in scattered areas.
