Commenting on the results, Shri Harsh Pati Singhania, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, said “The improvement in Company’s performance is due to recovery in the paper segment and growth in Production and Sales volume coupled with higher realisation. This is despite a sharp increase in major input costs in the recent period. JK Paper continued to maintain its leadership position in Cut –size office paper and a strong presence in Coated Paper, Packaging Board and niche products. The Sirpur Paper Mills Ltd., a step-down subsidiary, turned in a strong performance.”
