Views on Indian paper industry
Paper industry is touching new horizons with plenty of investments and a promising future. It has got immense potential for growth despite increasing input costs. The pulp and paper mills have tremendous opportunity to improve their profit margin if they adopt energy efficient technology integrated with enterprise solutions.
The cost of energy/tonne of paper produced is one of the highest in India. This has certainly contributed the need for modern core process equipment. However the pumps play a major part in this as well. Energy is the most significant part of measuring the life cycle costs of the pumps in a paper plant. With our latest designs and repeatability of precision in manufacturing our products also contribute to saving in energy at the highest order.
The scope to become more competitive is certainly in the area of energy conservation by investing in more modern technologies and equipment.
