The plant will increase the capacity of packaging board by 1,70,000 tpa and 1.6 lakh pulp unit and take its total production capacity close to 7.8 lakh tpa
The new manufacturing plant located at Songadh near Surat was initially programmed to be commissioned by March-April 2021. It has been delayed by a few months due to disruption caused during the COVID-19 pandemic wave, where workers and some experts were away. The trials will begin in Q2/FY22
This is a virgin paper packaging plant and will have capability to add about Rs 1,000 crore in revenues for the company in a full year of operation. The plant includes 1.7 lakh tpa packaging material and 1.6 lakh tpa of pulp making capacity apart from boilers and related infrastructure
While JK Paper now has a capacity of about 4.5 lakh tpa, this will take the total installed capacity to about 7.8 lakh tpa. Through internal expansion, this capacity could go up to 8 lakh tpa, making it a leading paper company in the country
