Introduction
Over 550 players currently populate the industry and the estimated
capacity is about 7.00 million Metric Tones Per Annum (MTPA).
Fragmentation is severe in the “industrial” (packaging) grades, which
rely on “unconventional” raw material such as waste paper and partly
agro residues. This division generally comprises of units with an
average size of about 10000 MTPA and contributes to 45% of the
output of paper and paper boards in the country. Although the other
divisions in the Indian paper industry are also fragmented by
international standards, the degree of fragmentation is less severe.
“Newsprint” till about 1995, was the sole preserve of large public
sector units and was well protected by high import tariff barriers.
Nevertheless, imports contributed to about 50% of the domestic
consumption. Since then, new domestic capacity with private
investment has been allowed to be created. This growth has relied
namely on De-inked waste paper as a source of raw material.
Demand and Supply gap in Paper
Industry
Indian paper industry is the 15th largest in the world and provides
employment to 1.3mn people in the country contributing Rs.25bn to
the Government. The industry has recorded a volume growth of CAGR
of 5.47% over the last 3 years. In 2017-18, it recorded a volume
growth of 6%, in line with the GDP growth. Indian paper industry has a
1:1 correlation with the economy. The demand for paper is linked to
the GDP Growth. The government is planning to target a GDP Growth
of about 10% in 2-3 years. With this increase in the GDP growth the
paper sector is expected to record a similar growth rate.
