Mr. Pawan Agarwal, President, and Mr. Rohit Pandit, Secretary General, IPMA, recently met Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry, Mr. Jitin Prasada, and apprised him of the key challenges and concerns being faced by India’s Paper Industry. IPMA has been expressing its concern over the continued rise in paper & paperboard imports, which in FY25 alone saw a 33 percent jump in volume from China. It has been urging the government to implement stricter quality control measures, review trade agreements that lead to duty-free or low-duty access for paper imports, undertake trade remedial measures, and ensure a level playing field for the Indian paper industry.
