The Indian paper industry accounts for 3 percent of world’s paper production with a turnover of Rs. 500 billion approximately and contribution to exchequer Rs. 45 billion. The industry has been growing sufficiently over the last few years but not at desired rate. Demand for paper has been growing at around 8 percent per year for some time and the production grew at CAGR of 13.3 percent during 2011-15. According to industry estimates, the domestic market or consumption of paper is over 16 million tonnes, with over 2 million tonnes being imported.

However, another estimate shows to total production at 16.63~ million tonnes at the end of 2014-15 along with consumption peaking at 17.42 million tonnes during same period. The data amply shows the consumption level rising faster than the production capacity. By 2024- 25, under the baseline scenario, domestic consumption is projected to rise by 23.5 million tonnes; and in the optimistic scenario, consumption is expected to rise to 36.9 million tonnes. This huge consumption growth warrants fast capacity augmentation by the industry, close to 1 million tonnes on an annual basis.

Indian economy grew by 7.1 percent in the financial year 2016-17, at a rate lower than the 8 percent achieved in 2015-16. The GDP was impacted by the effects of demonetization, and reflects a continued slump in investment. Growth was dragged by excess production capacity, overinvestment on corporate balance sheets, and bank lending inhibited by stressed assets. Whereas the lower GDP growth rate impacted the paper industry’s overall growth, the factors which lowered the GDP also seems to have directly affected the operation and sales realization of the industry. However, in the near term, India’s economy is set to grow at 7.4% in the current fiscal year 2017-18, on the back of pick-up in consumption demand and higher public investment. This augurs well for the growth prospects and plans of the Indian paper industry.

Paper Mart’s biennial survey, Top Paper Companies in India, takes into account all major operating companies for the listing purpose. The rankings are separately done on the parameters such as Production Capacity, Actual Production, and Turnover. In addition to the three ranking lists on these parameters, a final ranking list of ‘Top Paper Companies in India’ has been prepared by averaging the rankings obtained on the three parameters, viz. Production Capacity, Actual Production, and Turnover.

Apart from the above parameters, other parameters such as CSR, water & energy consumption, exports, etc. are also included, though not as ranking, to highlight the all-round and qualitative development of the companies. The rankings done by us are in no way exhaustive, and are just indicator of overall landscape of the Indian pulp and paper industry and are largely based on the data furnished by the companies directly to us or the data mined from annual reports.

Deepen engagement in identified core operational geographies to promote holistic development, designed to respond to the most prominent development challenges of Company’s stakeholder groups

Strengthen capabilities of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) / Community Based Organisations (CBOs) in all the project catchments for participatory planning, ownership and sustainability of interventions

Drive the development agenda in a manner that benefits the poor and marginalized communities in our factory and agri-catchments thereby significantly improving Human Development Indices (HDI)

ITC’s stakeholders are confronted with multi-dimensional and inter-related issues, at the core of which is the challenge of securing sustainable livelihoods. Accordingly, interventions under Company’s Social Investments Programme (SIP) are appropriately designed to build their capacities and promote sustainable livelihoods. The footprint of Company’s projects is spread over 26 States / Union Territories covering 182 districts.

  • Solid Waste Management (WOW Program)

Company’s solid waste recycling programme, ‘WOW ‘Well Being Out of Waste’, helps in the creation of a clean and green environment through awareness and education of citizens on source segregation and recycling of dry waste.

It also promotes sustainable livelihoods for ragpickers and waste collectors. During the year, in addition to Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Chennai and Bengaluru, the programme was expanded to Delhi, Tirupati and Muzaffarpur. The quantum of dry waste collected aggregated 33,982 MT from 417 wards.

The programme covers over 64 lakh citizens, 25 lakh school children and 2,000 Corporates and creates sustainable livelihoods for 13,500 ragpickers and waste collectors by propagating source segregation and facilitating effective collection in collaboration with municipal corporations.

The intervention has also created over 60 social entrepreneurs who are involved in maximising value capture from the dry waste collected.

In addition, another programme on solid waste management under the Mission Sunehra Kal initiative has spread to 10 districts of seven states covering 61,200 households and collected 6,033 MT of waste during the year. This programme focuses on home composting in addition to recycling of dry waste. Under this programme, 4,161 MT wet waste was composted and 459 MT of dry waste recycled in 2016-17.

Area Covered Under Plantations

  • Social Forestry

ITC s pioneering afforestation initiative through the Social Forestry programme is currently spread across 19 districts in six States covering 2.55 lakh acres in 4,809 villages, impacting over 96,500 poor households.

Together with Company’s Farm Forestry programme, this initiative has greened over 6.20 lakh acres till date, and generated over 113 million person days of employment for rural households, including poor tribal and marginal farmers.

Integral to the Social Forestry programme is the Agro-Forestry initiative, which currently extends to over 82,255 acres and ensures food, fodder and wood security.

Besides enhancing farm level employment, generating incomes and increasing green cover, the Social and Farm Forestry initiative of the Company, through a multiplier effect, has led to improvement in pulpwood availability in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This initiative is also contributing meaningfully towards the nation’s endeavour in creating additional carbon sinks for tackling climate change.

During the year, the Company’s Social Forestry programme was extended to West Tripura district and Malkangiri district (Odisha). In Tripura, Company plans to promote bamboo plantations covering an area of 5,000 acres over the next five years, which would benefit around 2,000 families. In addition, Company aims to promote 10,000 acres under Agro-Forestry in Malkangiri district of Odisha in order to provide livelihood opportunities to small and marginal farmers.
