Global Competitiveness of Indian Paper Industry
India has undergone a large process of economic reforms aiming at liberalization and attracting investments. That process, which began already in the early 1990s, continues to have an important impact on the whole economy, including the pulp and paper industry. India will also join World Trade Organisation, which will increase international competition in the Indian market. For this reason the Ministry of Industry and CPPRI (Central Pulp and Paper Research Institute) commissioned Jaakko Pöyry Consulting to carry out a survey on the global competitiveness of the Indian pulp and paper industry. We trust that this report will give a good base for planning the future operations of Indian pulp and paper industry. We thank Ministry of Commerce and Industry, CPPRI and representatives of the Indian pulp and paper industry for the valuable help and good cooperation in this survey.
