India’s Pulp and Paper industry is one of the oldest and core sectors of our country’s economy having a significant impact on socio-economic development. This traditional Indian Pulp & Paper sector had leverage and played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for economic growth. It is also one of the 35 high priority industries of Government of India. According to Planning Commission Report, 2008, it contributed around Rs.2500 crore per annum to the national exchequer. The first paper mill in India was set up at Sreerampur, West Bengal, in the year 1812. However, large scale mechanized technology of papermaking was introduced in India in early 1905. Since then the raw material for the paper industry underwent major changes and over a period of time, besides wood and bamboo, other non-conventional raw materials have been developed for use in the papermaking. The paper industry is categorized as forest-based and agro-based and others (waste paper, secondary fibre, best fibres and market pulp).
