Emami Paper Mills has postponed the proposed Rs 1,600-crore paper mill expansion project at Balasore in Odisha, due to failure of the associated social forestry plantations plan which resulted in uncertainty on availability of feedstock. The entity was expected to increase production capacity to 3 lakh tonnes per annum from the current 1.5 lakh tonnes per annum through this proposed wood-based pulp and paper mill project, for producing copier paper.
Emami Paper Mills (EPML) is a part of Kolkata based Emami Group. The company is engaged in manufacturing of NP and Printing and Writing Paper (PWP) with aggregate installed capacity of 145,000 tonnes per annum. The company is one of the leading NP manufacturers in India and caters to majority of the newsprint buyers in Eastern India.
