PAPER INDUSTRY AT A GLANCE

Government Interventions

In the 1970s excise concessions were given to small agro based mills, which resulted in a rapid increase of small mills and capacity.
In the late 1980s the industry was in a severe oversupply situation, capacity utilisation rates being around 60 %.
In early 1990s the Government reversed the policy, making large units more competitive (e.g. by removing excise concessions for agro based mills).
