JK Paper Limited has informed stock exchanges that its Hardwood Bleach Chemical Thermo-Mechanical Pulp (BCTMP) Plant, originally expected to start commercial production by Q4 FY 2025-26, will now commence in Q1 FY 2026-27. The company stated that the plant is currently in advanced stages of erection and commissioning. This is a delay of roughly one to two quarters from the earlier communicated timeline. No cost overrun or technical issue was mentioned — only a schedule revision. The BCTMP plant is a key capacity addition for the company's pulp-making operations.
Mildly negative for near-term revenue expectations from this plant, as the commissioning slips to the next fiscal year. However, since the project is in advanced stages and no major concerns were flagged, long-term capacity addition plans remain on track and the impact on shareholder value should be limited.
