India is one of the lowest per capita consumers of paper products in Asia at 4kg per capita.
Towards the beginning of the 2000’s, the country found itself experiencing an increase in the production of paper and board (particularly newsprint).
The country has several hundred registered paper mills, very few of which have significant capacities and the Industrial paper sector is dominated by several small companies that account for 80% of the market share. The writing and paper sectors are dominated by India’s Ballurpar Industries (BILT).
