The Indian paper industry is growing strongly due to factors such as India's economic growth, low per capita paper consumption, and increased government focus on education. The industry has seen production increase from 5.2 million tonnes in 2002-2003 to over 8 million tonnes currently. Consumption is also projected to rise significantly from the current per capita consumption of 9.3 kg to over 14 million tonnes by 2015. Key challenges for the industry include developing a robust fiber supply base and improving competitiveness to meet the growing domestic demand and global competition.
This document discusses producing pulp from agricultural waste materials like palm fronds and banana leaves as an alternative to imported wood fiber for paper production. The objectives are to pulp these materials using atmospheric and high pressure cooking. The experimental process involves drying, chopping, digesting with NaOH, washing, and defiberizing the materials. Various pulp properties are tested and strength is found to be comparable to bagasse pulp. The conclusion is that optimizing pulping of palm fronds and banana leaves can produce pulp to substitute some imported wood pulp.

The industry is plantation-based and requires large amounts of soft water. Major producing states are West Bengal and Maharashtra. The industry employs over 0.12 million people directly and 0.34 million indirectly, producing various paper products. It accounts for 1.6% of global paper production with an estimated turnover of Rs. 25,000 crore. The industry has grown at around 6-7% annually and consumption is projected to reach 13.95 million tonnes by 2015-16.
China's household paper industry saw steady growth in 2017 as the country's economy stabilized and improved,
while benefiting from increased population urbanization and consumption upgrading. On the other hand, under the
circumstance of strict environmental protection and high fluctuation of external pulp price, the speed of capacity
clearance is accelerating, thus driving the market share closer to the leading position. This Paper analyzes the assets
and business performance of three companies, Hengan International Group Co. Ltd, Vinda International Holdings
Limited and C&S Paper Co. Ltd, which are the first tier in Chinese household Paper industry. It is concluded that
Hengan, as the industry leader, has a large volume and is now in a stable position. Vinda also has diversified
development, but the situation is not objective. As a rising star, C&S focuses on living paper. Though it is small in
size, it is growing rapidly, and has already surpassed Vinda

Paper, Pulp and Paperboard Production from Bamboo. Profitable Bamboo Processing Industry
Bamboo is a quickly renewable resource. Bamboo is the single fastest growing species of plant on the planet with some species growing more than a meter a day. In sharp contrast to trees which require decades to recover from harvesting, bamboo reaches maturity in 3 to 5 years or less and when it is cut, the stem is left in the soil to sprout a new shoot and start the growing process again.
Paper has been made from bamboo for hundreds of years. The commercial process uses actual bamboo canes for pulp. Bamboo paper is attracting the attention of companies and individuals looking for eco-friendly printing and sustainability. Despite the digital revolution, the demand for paper is growing globally.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

1. India’s share in global paper demand is gradually growing as
domestic demand is increasing at a steady pace while demand in
the western nations is contracting The domestic demand in India
grew from 9.3 million tonnes in FY08 to 15.3 million tonnes in
FY16 at a CAGR of 6.4%. In spite of the sustained growth
witnessed by the industry, the per capita paper consumption in
India stands at a little over 13 kg which is well below the global
average of 57 kg and significantly below 200 kg in North America.
As per IPMA’s (Indian Paper Mills Association) estimates, this
industry contributes approximately Rs 4,500 crore to the
exchequer and provides employment to over 5 lakh people across
approximately 750 paper mills. The broad characteristics of the
industry are that it is capital, energy and water intensive and
highly fragmented (small units account for ~60% of the industry
size).
The paper industry is classified under four segments: Printing &
Writing (P&W), Packaging Paper & Board, Specialty Papers &
Others, and Newsprint.
Pulp (over 40% of raw material cost) is the primary raw material
used for manufacturing of paper, and is obtained from wood,
wastepaper, agriculture residues etc. Wood accounts for 30-35%
of raw material usage, while wastepaper and agri-residues
account for 45-50% and 20-22%, respectively.
CARE Ratings expects that the overall paper demand growing at
a CAGR of 6.6% is likely to touch 18.5 million tonnes in 2018-19
a. Printing and Writing segment demand is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 4.2% and reach 5.3 million tonnes in FY19
b. Demand for Packaging Paper and Board segment is expected
to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% and reach 9.7 million tonnes in FY19
c. Newsprint demand is expected to reach 2.7 million tonnes in
FY19.
The demand drivers include 1) rising income levels, 2) growing per
capita expenditure, 3) a likely pick-up from the education sector,
4) requirement of better quality packaging of FMCG products
marketed through organized retail, and 5) increasing preference
for ready-to-eat foods.
On the other hand, challenges include 1) access to quality and
cost competitive raw material whose prices have started
increasing recently), 2) competition from imports and 3)
technology obsolescence.

India’s share in global paper demand, though small is growing as demand in the western nations contracts, while
domestic demand in India grows at a steady pace
Globally over 400 million tonnes of paper and paper products are consumed. The world's three largest paper producing
countries are China, the United States, and Japan (these three countries account for approximately half of the world's
total paper production), while India accounts for a small but growing share of the global market. The global paper and
pulp mills industry has contracted slightly over the past five years, primarily due to the shift to digital media and
paperless communication across most developed economies. However, demand in emerging markets has partially
offset the decline by driving increased demand for paper used in packaging materials.
Source: Industry, IPMA
The Indian Paper & Paperboard industry is one of the oldest organised manufacturing industries in India and the first
paper mill was started in 1812 in Serampore, West Bengal. The industry accounts for approximately 4% of the world’s
production of paper. IPMA (Indian Paper Mills Association) estimates the industry turnover at approximately Rs 50,000
crore which year contribution of Rs 4,500 crore to the exchequer while providing employment to over 5 lakh people
across approximately 750 paper mills.

- highly fragmented (small units account for ~60% of the industry size). The large players focus primarily on the high
value added segments such as copier paper, coated packaging paper & board, while the smaller companies address
low value added segments such as creamwove, kraft paper etc.
The paper mills are concentrated in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh
and Gujarat. The paper mills use a variety of raw material viz. wood, bamboo, recycled fiber, bagasse, wheat straw, rice
husk, etc. The geographical location of the mill often determines the type of raw material used. Most mills in the
northern and western regions of India depend heavily on agricultural residues and waste paper as their raw material.
Pulp & paper production in southern and eastern regions uses wood and bamboo as raw materials. The proximity and
assured availability of forest resources in the vicinity of the plant location and other factors like availability of water,
forest policy of the state also influence the location of the manufacturing facility. Overall, the composition of raw
material usage is approximately wood (35%), recycled fibre (40%) and agro-residues (25%).
Industry Segmentation: Packaging paper & board segment demand is growing at a faster pace as compared to

Source: Industry, IPMA, CARE Ratings
For the Indian paper industry, strong economic growth has been accompanied by equally robust demand for paper. The
demand drivers and growth triggers have come from a combination of factors such as rising income levels, growing per
capita expenditure, rapid urbanization and a larger proportion of earning population which is expected to lead
consumption and there is enormous potential for the paper industry in the country. CARE Ratings expects that the
overall paper demand growing at a CAGR of 6.6% is likely to touch 18.5 million tonnes in 2018-19. The individual
segments are expected to grow as follows:
Printing and Writing segment demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% and reach 5.3 million tonnes in FY19.
The demand is expected to grow on account of an anticipated pick-up from the education sector with improving
literacy rates and growing enrolment as well as increasing number of schools and colleges.
Packaging paper & board segment caters to industries such as FMCG, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, textiles, etc.
Demand for Packaging Paper & Board segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% and reach 9.7 million tonnes
in FY19 due to factors such as increased urbanization, requirement of better quality packaging of FMCG products
marketed through organized retail, and increasing preference for ready-to-eat foods.
Improving literacy rates, rising circulation and an increasing number of newspapers and magazines is expected to
support growth in newsprint demand which is expected to reach 2.7 million tonnes in FY19.
Additionally, the Chinese Government has banned the import of several varieties of waste paper, which is the primary
raw material for finished paper. Consequently, the production of finished paper is expected to be hampered in China.
This in turn is expected to lead to some relief in raw material prices and improve realizations.

Demand Drivers
Rising income levels & growing per capita expenditure
In the last decade, Indian economy has progressed rapidly. Correspondingly, India’s per capita GDP has increased from
Rs 71,607 in FY12 to Rs. 117,406 in FY17 at a CAGR of 10.4% fuelling a consumption boom in the country.
Correspondingly, the per capita personal disposable income surged from Rs 73,476 in FY12 to Rs 119,296 in FY17 at a
CAGR of 10.2%. Also, the per capita private final consumption expenditure too rose from Rs 40,250 in FY12 to
Rs.68,049 in FY17 at a CAGR of 11.1%. The growth in country’s per capita GDP in turn has increased the disposable
income of the populace ultimately driving the country’s consumption.
Source: Central Statistics Office (CSO)
A larger proportion of earning population to drive consumption
The growing Indian population has also led to increase in the ‘earning population’ (age group 15-60) of the country.
The proportion of Indian populace in the age group of 15-64 years increased from 55.4% in 1991 to 66.2% in 2016
(Source: CIA – The World Factbook). Considering the large size of the Indian population, the lower median age implies a
higher number of working people thereby clearly outlining the immense earning as well as spending potential of the
Indian populace. Taking into account the age group below 25 years being one of the highest spending age group, the
current age dynamics are expected to boost the retail sales in India. The median age of India is 26.7 years, one of the
lowest globally in comparison to 37.2 years in the US, 45.8 years in Japan and 36.3 years in China.

Increasing Urbanization
Source: IBEF
A majority of India still lives in ‘villages’. This statement no doubt holds true but the figures suggest that there has been
a paradigm shift of the Indian populace in terms of rural–urban divide. The aspirations of higher income, higher
standard of living etc. has drawn more and more people from villages to settle in towns and cities. This transition from
rural to urban areas has led to an increase in the demand for goods (owing to higher income and ever-expanding
needs) and has also shifted the consumption pattern.
Widening spread of education and increase in literacy rate
Increase in the number of colleges and institution, rising enrolment numbers, rising literacy (continued government
spending on education through the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan) is expected to lead to an increased expenditure on
textbooks, notebooks and other assorted paper products thereby driving demand. Additionally, with higher literacy
levels, circulation of other print media, such as newspapers is also positively impacted.

Rising circulation and number of newspapers and magazines
As per the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC), the circulation of print media reached 62 million copies a day in 2016,
implying a 10 year CAGR of nearly 5%. Indian language newspapers primarily contributed to this growth with Hindi,
Telugu and Kannada language publications growing at a CAGR of 8.76%, 8.28% and 6.40% respectively. On the other
hand, English publications grew at a CAGR of 2.87% in the same period. Further as per ABC, the circulation of Indian
dailies grew at 12% between 2013 and 2015, while dailies in countries such as Australia, France, Germany, the US, and
Japan witnessed a 3% - 6% decline.
P&W segment to witness slower capacity addition, while Packaging paper & board segment to witness ramp up
Source: CMIE
After witnessing a growing rate of capacity addition in the early part of the decade, the planned domestic capacity
(greenfield and brownfield) additions for paper and newsprint has slowed down, primarily due to a shortage of its key
raw material i.e. pulp wood and rising prices of local waste paper. This has been partially mitigated by the agroforestry
initiatives. However, the industry has been requesting for a policy to allow access to degraded forest land for paper
mills to raise pulp wood plantations to enable sustainable source of raw materials.
On the other hand, driven by the increasing demand primarily from the e-commerce industry, Packaging paper & board
segment is expected to witness significant capacity addition across the country.

Challenges
Access to quality and cost competitive raw material
India is a wood fibre deficient country as the Government of India does not permit industrial plantations in the country
and inadequate raw material availability domestically is a major constraint for the paper industry. Additionally, the
recovery rate of wastepaper in India is quite low (~30%) due to lack of an effective collection mechanism. With issues
like availability of quality raw material at competitive prices, the players depend on the imports of pulp, wastepaper
and even pulpwood to meet their raw material needs and often have to pay premium for availing them thereby
impacting profitability and capacity addition. To alleviate this significant challenge, the Government of India could
frame a policy to allow access to degraded forest land for paper mills to raise pulp wood plantations for increasing pulp
availability and reduce import dependence; further the collection mechanism needs to be strengthened to increase
usage of wastepaper.
Competition from imports
Imports accounts for over 20% of the paper consumption in India. The domestic paper manufacturers are less
competitive against imports, given superior quality and lower prices of imported paper. As per IPMA, paper from
ASEAN countries that is produced from raw wood is available at about USD 40 per tonne, as against USD 110 per tonne
in India. Rising imports at predatory prices from surplus countries like China, has been a major concern for local players
in India. On account of cheaper imports domestic industry has faced challenges in pricing its products. An anti-dumping
probe into cheap import of ‘uncoated paper’ from Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore has been initiated by the
Government as the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping And Allied Duties (DGAD) has found ‘sufficient prima facie
evidence’ of dumping of uncoated paper following complaints from some domestic companies.
Technology
As the Indian paper industry is largely fragmented with lower capacity with an individual paper mill, it is also prone to
using outdated technology. Resultantly, it is estimated that both the raw material as well as the power consumption is
higher as compared to a modern paper mill. Adoption of new technology by domestic paper producers would lead to
emergence of more competitiveness in critical areas including quantifiable increase in productivity, quality
improvement with reduced cost, improvement in energy efficiency and better compliance with environmental
protection legislation and safeguards for eco-sustainability of the products.

Rapidly increasing Imports along with steady Exports and domestic production indicates incremental domestic
demand is being met through imports
Source: Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence
and Statistic, CMIE
As per Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS) data, total imports in FY17 were up 36%
over FY16. As far as ASEAN imports were concerned, there was a surge of 67% in FY17 numbers over FY16. Imports
from China have increased by 44%. Imports reached 1.1 million tonnes in the first half of 2017-18 as against 650
thousand tonnes imported in the first half of 2016-17, indicating an increase of approximately 69%. This increase in
imports has been led by the duty-free import from ASEAN countries (which doubled from 80,000 tonnes to 210,000
tonnes during the said period) coupled with unavailability of raw materials domestically.
The domestic newsprint industry is less competitive against the imported one, given nil customs duty imposition on the
imports of newsprint (The 2.5% customs duty on paper in India was brought down to zero; as per the terms of the free
trade agreement with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)). With imported price realisations remaining
steady, the share of imported newsprint in the total domestic newsprint consumption increased sharply from 50%
during FY13 to 60% during FY16.

The prices of various varieties of paper in Kolkata market remained unchanged in 2015-16, which is likely to have
continued in 2016-17. Paper companies did not undertake price hikes because of factors such as competition from
imports, stabilisation in wood prices and lower power & fuel cost. Nonetheless, paper prices are projected to rise
marginally in 2017-18. Even though stiff competition from imports is likely to persist, an anticipated rise in wood prices
along with higher power & fuel cost would compel paper manufacturers to undertake price hikes.

Raw Material Scenario
Pulp is the primary raw material used for manufacturing of paper, and is obtained through processing of fibers
separated from wood, wastepaper, agriculture residues etc. Indian paper mills are categorized based on raw materials
used by them in the manufacture of paper - wood/forest based mills, agro-based mills and wastepaper based mills.
Wood accounts for 30-35% of production, while wastepaper and agri-residues account for 45-50% and 20-22%,
respectively. India has a total land area of 3.3 million sq km with forests covering only 0.7 million sq km. About 78% of
the total land area is non-forest area. With diminishing forest resources and limitations on enlarging man-made
forests, there is scarcity of raw material for paper mills. To counter the issue of wood deficit, Indian paper companies
gave thrust to initiatives like agro forestry which have now started yielding results.
Due to the limited availability of wood, agro-based raw materials and waste paper are generally used as substitutes for
manufacturing paper. However, a majority of pulp and paper mills integrate their operations to various options of raw
materials like wood, bamboo, agro-residues, wastepaper and market pulp. In the backdrop of issues pertaining to raw
material availability and quality being faced in India; the players depend on the imports for meeting their raw material
needs, and often have to pay premium for availing them.

The pulpwood prices fell from the high in 2012 till 2014, however, the prices have been on an uptrend. In 2017Q3, the
prices increased by 2% on a y-o-y basis, as compared to less than 1% in the previous quarter. Several factors such as
challenging harvesting conditions due to the mild winter, and strong demand in China have influenced the prices.

The increase in raw material costs as a % of sales has been increasing since FY11 and peaked in FY15 and has
subsequently reduced in FY16 and FY17 due to lower international prices and as initiatives such as agro forestry
boosted local supply. The major raw material costs drivers have been summarised below

Non-wood fibre as a source for paper manufacturing: According to industry experts, agricultural residue is more sustainable
for paper manufacturing as compared to wood fibre. Certain agricultural residue pulps take less time to process than wood
pulps indicating that agricultural-based paper requires less energy & water and fewer chemicals. Bagasse and grain straws are
the main agricultural residues used by paper industry. High availability of agricultural residues and various financial incentives
provided by the government in the past lead to increased usage of agriculture residues fibre for paper production. For a
variety of reasons including seasonal availability, problems with chemical recovery, brightness of the pulp etc, non-wood fibre
sources account for a very small portion of global pulp production. Still it is believed that agro-based paper manufacturing is
extremely cost-competitive and highly environmental-friendly than wood pulp, resulting in lower cost of production and
could be a sustainable competitive advantage for companies.
Chemicals are also one of the major cost drivers of paper and the degree of chemical usage depends upon the raw-
material used in the paper-making process. There are a number of chemicals required to be added, particularly in the
pulping and bleaching stage of paper production. Major chemicals used are chlorine, sodium chlorate, caustic soda,
sodium sulphate, sodium sulphide, pulping aids, chlorine dioxide, oxygen, calcium hypochlorite, ozone and hydrogen
peroxide. The other auxiliary materials, such as dyes, starch, clay and resin are less significant because of the relatively
small quantities of usage.
Recently paper companies have witnessed an increase in raw material costs as international pulp prices have
reportedly increased from $650 a tonne around three months ago to $780 a tonne. Further, chemical prices and coal
prices have also increased (imported as well as domestic). Consequently, companies are expected to increase prices to
maintain margins.

Financial Analysis
The charts below give certain financial indicators of paper industry for a sample of _50 comapnies for the period….
Note: Dataset comprises of 50 companies in the paper and paper products industry
Source: Ace Equity
Revenues grew by 3.4% in FY16 and 9% in FY17 after registering a marginal drop in FY15, while, the operating and net
profit margin expanded by approximately 350 basis points in FY17 on a y-o-y basis and the margin expansion was the
highest in when compared to the previous 6 years. The expansion in profit margins was mainly on account of input
costs as raw materials as percentage of sales dropped to 45% in FY17 from 48% in FY15 and lowered power and fuels
costs which were lower on account of subdued coal prices and energy efficiency measures undertaken by the
companies.
The paper companies had borrowed in prior years for capacity expansion and consequently the debt levels had increased
for the industry. As depicted above the interest cost as a % of sales increased fromFY13 and peaked in FY16, when it stood
at 6.3%, further, due to subdued operating performance, the profitability decreased and interest coverage also declined.
However, the industry’s profitability improved in FY17 due to cost control measures undertaken by the company, benign
pricing environment and deleveraging, consequently, the metrics (debt/ equity as well as interest cover) improved
