About Pulp & Paper industry in india
PULP & PAPER INDUSTRY
INFORMATION
Indian paper industry is poised to grow and
touch 25 million tonnes from 20.37 million
tonnes to 2019-20 from 2017-18 at the rate
of 10% per annum, according to The
Associated Chambers of Commerce and
Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) recent
paper.India has emerged as the fastest
growing market when it comes to
consumption, posting 10.6% growth in per
capita consumption of paper in 2017-18,
reveals the ASSOCHAM paper.

Indian scenario
The India produces many varieties of
papers, namely, printing and writing paper,
packaging paper, coated paper and some
speciality paper. Varieties under printing
and writing paper are creame wove paper,
super printing paper, maplitho paper (non-
surface and surface size), copier paper,
bond paper and coating base paper and
others. The varieties under packaging
paper are kraft paper, boards, poster paper
and others. The other varieties under
coated paper are art paper/board, chromo
paper/board and others. There are
approximately 600 paper mills in India, of
which twelve are major players.
Indian paper industry can be more
competitive by adding improvements of
key ports, roads and railways and
communication facilities, revision of forest
policy is required for wood based paper
industry so that plantation can be raised by
industry, cooperatives of farmers, and state
government. Degraded forest land should
be made available to the industry for
raising plantations. Import duty on waste
paper should be reduced, duty free imports
of new and second hand machinery,
equipment should be allowed for
technology up gradation
our Goals and
Objectives
The first step to creating an effective
project plan is to set a baseline. The
baseline is the foundation on which the
other project elements will be built on.
This must include a scope statement. Start
by identifying what business need the
project aims to address and how the
company will benefit from the project.
Then create milestones as appropriate to
the size of the project. Next, create a work
breakdown structure (WBS), breaking up
large tasks to smaller ones. Lastly, come up
with a baseline management plan which
details how stakeholder will review and
approve changes to the baseline.

scope of business
The paper industry in India
looks extremely positive as
the demand for upstream
market of paper products,
like, tissue paper, tea bags,
filter paper, light weight
online coated paper, medical
grade coated paper, etc., is
growing up.
The following prime grades
of paper are imported from
USA, Europe, Dubai and
Singapore:
label stock, wet strength
papers, tea bag tissue, soft
tissue, filter paper, insulation
kraft, extensible kraft,
decorative laminates, overlay
tissue, thermal papers,
digital papers, coated
papers/boards and some
specialities.
.
It exports following grades of
papers to Middle East, South
Eastern countries, Eastern
Europe and USA: A4 copiers,
wood-free (mostly from
bamboo and agro waste by
several small mills), MG
varieties (from small agro
based mills), coated duplex
(mostly recycled fibre) and
large quantity of converted
products like stationery
items, calendars, books,
magazines, children’s play
books and comics.
Major issues confronting
India’s pulp and paper
industry are high cost of
production caused by
inadequate availability and
high cost of raw materials,
power cost and
concentration of mills in one
particular area,

Sustainability plan
The paper mill, is the
formative stage in a paper
making process and any
forward control strategy
results in impressive gains in
terms of quality.
Likewise, energy, being the
significant portion of
production cost, is getting
less attention in terms of
monitoring the overall
consumption of power across
various sections of the plant.
Integration of electrical
systems, including intelligent
motor control centres with
mill distributed control
systems (DCS), will help in
monitoring the overall
energy consumption.
Another area is integration of
raw material flow
information on realtime basis
and utilising the same to
effectively control the quality
at various stages.
Enterprise solutions, such as
enterprise resource planning
systems, manufacturing
execution systems or
collaborative production
management systems, and
supply chain management
systems have not received
adequate attention from the
paper industry managemen
Also there exists a lack of
coordination between the
automation department and
IT within the mill.
As a result, the pulp and
paper industry in India lags
behind its Asian and global
counterparts.
Collaborative production
management systems will
improve the mill
management and business
systems radically.
Quality control labs with
statistical models can be
linked to give advantage to
both production and quality
control personnel.
Dealers and end users can
track their orders as the
product moves through
various stages of production.
Businesses will not survive
with just traditional
automation systems.
Only integrated automation
and enterprise systems will
enable these industries to
achieve sustainable
competitive advantage.

new technology integration
WITH THE COUNTRY’S
ECONOMY GROWING
ROBUSTLY, THE PAPER
CONSUMPTION IN INDIA IS
BOUND TO EXPAND.
Essentially, there is a huge potential for
automation and system integrators to work
collaboratively with India’s pulp and paper
companies and help them acquire the
competitive edge. This means paper mills
in India have tremendous opportunity to
improve their profit margin by increasing
their investments in automation systems
and enterprise solutions, and integrating
them to achieve collaborative production
management. With the country’s economy
growing robustly, the paper consumption
in India is bound to expand, and the
existing gap is a good indicator of the
industry’s growth potential
