Manufactures paper, paperboard and pulp for sale primarily in domestic Indian markets, with only about 0.59% of revenue from exports. In FY26, it produced a record 2,59,266 metric tonnes of paper and sold 2,60,438 metric tonnes, generating revenue of ₹1,701.23 crore, up over 10% year-on-year. Earnings came under pressure: net profit fell sharply to ₹18.62 crore from ₹89 crore, and EBITDA margin compressed to 8.87% from about 14% the prior year, on pricing and fibre cost headwinds. A near-complete ₹915 crore four-year modernisation programme is being followed by entry into the tissue paper segment through a Tissue Machine Project, which would diversify the product portfolio beyond its current paper and paperboard base. The company is also expanding sustainable operations, with 74.5% of its power coming from biofuels, water use reduced to 43 cubic metres per tonne, and 100% sustainable wood sourcing. Materials account for 64.6% of revenue and employees for 10.6%, making fibre/raw material costs the single biggest expense line. AR · MarketPing reader · 2026-08-02

This document is a statistical summary of publicly filed information and market data, prepared by software from primary sources: SEBI results XBRL filed with BSE and NSE, LODR disclosures, shareholding patterns, exchange price data. It contains no research recommendation, no price target and no opinion on the merits of any security, and is not a research report within the meaning of the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, Regulation 2(1)(w)(vii). Financial statements are as filed (consolidated where the company files consolidated results). Ratios are computed over filed lines. Where a figure is unavailable the table shows a dash rather than an estimate. The business brief is written by MarketPing's reader from the annual report and checked against it; no figure in a table was generated by a model. Nothing here constitutes investment advice, an offer or a solicitation; readers should consult a SEBI-registered adviser before acting. MarketPing is not a SEBI-registered intermediary.
