Andhra Paper Limited has declared a lockout at its Kadiyam manufacturing unit in East Godavari, Andhra Pradesh, effective from May 1, 2026 at 10:00 PM. The lockout was triggered by an illegal strike by contract workmen that began on April 27, 2026, who were demanding higher wages and benefits from their third-party contractors. Despite management's repeated appeals to end the strike, the workmen did not comply. The company reports an estimated production loss of 70 MT per day. No physical damage to plant assets has occurred, and all insurable assets remain adequately covered. The lockout will remain in force until further notice.
The lockout will cause a significant daily production loss of 70 MT, directly impacting revenue and potentially affecting near-term financial performance. The stock may see negative sentiment until the dispute is resolved and operations normalize.
