Presenting its outlook on the pulp and paper industry, the company says that there is a high probability of the spreading of the third wave of COVID-19 in Q4 FY22 which has already started impacting order flow. The demand in the industry is experiencing a slowdown. Also, the major tissue consumption centres are operational with restricted guidelines, curtailing the demand in the tissue paper segment. The domestic and export prospects in the board segment are expected to remain good.
