WEBSITE DETAILS

 

Here are they and our work

 

Poddar Global Limited is the leading importers & distributors of Newsprint Paper, Glazed Paper and LWC Paper in India.

 

Earlier before, February, 1995, our newsprint business was known as Sanjay Trading Company with 25 years experience in handling publication paper.

 

They are supplying approximately 5000 tonnes of publication paper per month to more than 200 small and big newspaper houses located in various states nationwide.

 

Mission & Vision


Their mission and vision, is to bring the best services to their valued customers, which have made us the largest newsprint importing and distributing company in India. Today PGL has extremely strong bonds with leading international newsprint manufacturing and trading companies located all over the world as well as the cream of Indian Newspaper and Printing sectors.

Facts at Glance


PGL has set up its own warehouses at the major Indian Port towns to explore the scope of distribution of Newsprint on a mass scale. It has got own fully computerized Rewinding, Cutting and Slitting machines in all four major newsprint consuming sectors i.e. New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai & Mumbai to cater its best services to various consumers of various sizes and qualities of Newsprint.

 

It has been importing 5000 tones of Newsprint Paper on monthly basis from all major parts of world routed through all containerized Ports and ICDs in India. It provides best quality of Paper from abroad to even ‘B’ Grade Newspapers, who are unable to import directly on their day to day requirement and parallel to their financial position.


Flexibility

In the year 2000 due to the increase in the Y2K & Dot Com companies there was a boom in the advertisements for the newspapers all over the world. Thus a reaction followed where the demand for the newsprint went up all over the world. Here in this situation the prices of imported newsprint touched a new high. During this time it became very costly for the Indian buyer to buy a quality product from abroad as it was too expensive. This in turn increased the demand for the indigenous Newsprint. To answer this challenge PGL shifted its focus from Imported to indigenous newsprint.


During the shift PGL came across a lot of mills that were financially week. They were not able to utilize full capacity due to lack of raw material. But for that they needed the raw material in the form of imported waste paper. In order to meet the demand of their customers in the form of newsprint PGL had to get into importing the waste paper for the mills, acting as their financer in turn to get the finished goods to supply to the newspapers.


Global Alliance Pvt. Ltd. (GAL) their Sister concern was born to tap this market. Global Alliance Pvt. Ltd. is engaged in providing International trading and financial services. GAL is supplying and financing the waste paper to lot of Indian mills PGL has risen to the challenge and like a phoenix raise form ashes has come up stronger with new allied in GAL.

Newsprint demand may rise 0.100 million tones

DOW Jones

SINGAPORE, Aug, 3

 

INDIA’s newsprint consumption may reach 1.2 million tones in 2001,up Delhi-based newsprint trading company Poddar Global Limited Has said.


“Circulation of Indain Newspapers in on an increasing trend,” the company’s managing director,mr. Sunil Poddar, said, adding that he expected newsprint demand to rise 5-10 per cent each year in the next five years, in line with the country’s economic growth.


The demand growth rate expected in India exceeds that of Asia as a whole.US-Based Resource Information Systems Inc has forecast that Asian newsprint demand would hit 10.34 million tonnes in 2001, up 2 per cent from the previous year.


Poddar Global is a major newsprint trading company in India. It buys about 60,000-70,000 tones of newsprint from both domestic and foreign producers for sale domestically.Despite healthy demand for newsprint, Mr. Poddar said prices continued for imported newsprint, in line with the regional trend.

 

For the third quarter, india’s benchmark 45-gm-asq-m newsprint had been quoted at $480-$500/tonne, on a coast and freight basis to India, down from $550/tonne in the second quarter, Mr Poddar said.

 

Such low prices of imported material have attracted domestic enducers, despite the availability of domestically produced newsprint at prices below $400/tonne.

 

Domestically produced newsprint’s “quality is not as high,” Mr Poddar said. Imported newsprint’s “prices will go down further to $440 - $460/tonne, c&f Indian ports”, as world consumption might go down due to a reduction in reel width of newspapers all over the world, he said.

 

Russia is the biggest supplier of newsprint to India.
