COMPANY HISTORY:

 

Subject (formerly Central Pulp Mills), a member of HS Singhania group is originally promoted by Parkhe Group of Pune to manufacture Paper and Paper products. The company which fell sick and referred to BIFR was taken over by JK Corp limited of the HS Singhania Group in 1992. JK Corp. holds 44.76% in the equity of this company as on Nov 6, 2003. The company has turnaround in a short period of time with the rehabilitation package by HS Singhania Group companies JK Corp Limited Industries. Subject today has an combined installed capacity of 150000 tpa with two integrated Paper Mills at Mills, Orissa (Inst. Cap 100000 tpa) and Central Pulp Mills, Gujarat(Inst. Cap 50000 tpa). The company's paper mills are operating with an health average capacity utilisation of 115%. Further the company has purchased a Pulp Drying Plant from Finland in 2001 to increase the output and realisation of market pulp. The plant was commissioned during the year itself. J K Paper has also been consistently exporting its products to markets such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and several West Asian Countries. The company is the first paper mill in India to have been accredited with ISO 14001. The company enjoys the locational advantage in respect of sourcing raw material. It sources all its bamboo requirements with in the 200 kms radius of the plant. Further for long term continuous source of raw material the company is running social forestry and farm forestry programmes in 11 districts of Orissa and 3 districts of Andhra Pradesh, covering a total area of over 20,000 Ha. In 2001-02 it has distributed 27 million saplings, covering over 5200 hectares under plantations in Orissa, AP, Gujarat. J K Paper has been a pioneer in every field related to the manufacture and marketing of paper. It has the distinction of being the Largest manufacturer of branded copier paper in India.; First to introduce surface sized maplitho in India.; First to introduce high quality bond paper 'Finesse' in A4 size consumer friendly retail packs of 100 sheets. ; First to introduce laser paper in India. The company has introduced two new value added products i.e. MICR Cheque Paper and Cup-stock Board and both of them have well received in the market. The company which is well known for its success in creating brand in paper industry with having top two paper brand (i.e. JK Copier contributing 140 cr. to company's turnover in FY02-03] and JK Easy Copier) in its basket the company has initiated outsourcing of paper products in India. This outsourcing activity was kick started in the end of 2001-02 and gathered momentum last year. The company has outsources JK Cote (positioned in upper art paper segment) from an international producer who produces as per the specification of JK Paper. The company outsourcers domestically JK Eco Cote(caters to price consious Chrome paper segment) and 'JK Eco Print'.

The upgradation (Conversion from non-coated to coated) to cost around Rs.600.000 Millions.

 

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

The Company’s Sales and Other Income during the year was Rs. 15571.000 Millions, Operating Profit (PBIDT) Rs. 1763.100 Millions and PAT stood at Rs. 493.200 Millions. The Company’s production was 2,83,038 tonnes and sales increased to 2,77,599 tonnes as against 2,67,081 tonnes.

 

Operating Profit (PBIDT) was considerably impacted due to increase in raw material price, lower receipt of linkage coal resulting in purchase of open market coal at much higher price and increase in other input costs. The Company was able to offset some of these cost increases by higher productivity and efficiencies. However, market conditions did not favour increase in product prices to fully compensate the cost increases during the year.

 

International hardwood pulp prices declined from a level of US $ 770/MT in April 2011 to as low as USD 550/MT during December 2011. Since then it has increased again by USD 150/MT. However, much of the benefits due to the drop in pulp prices were neutralized by the depreciation in rupee vis-ŕ-vis the US Dollar.

 

JK Paper has been constantly creating value with its Brand driven strategy and the brands of the Company are synonymous with premium quality paper. It is the ability to understand customers’ aspirations and develop products for those needs and fulfill them which have given us the “first mover advantage” in many products.

 

Their long standing relations with channel partners also helped us to withstand competition. The Company is the market leader in office papers and among the top 2 players in coated paper and high end packaging board segment.

 

The Company was able to increase acreage under farm forestry significantly in 2011-12 by aggressive efforts. This will augment supplies of wood from our nearby catchment area and help us reduce transportation of wood from long distances.

 

The Company carried out some upgradation and de-bottlenecking in its Packaging Board plant at Unit CPM which enhanced its capacity from 60,000 tpa to 84,000 tpa. The Company’s factories have been consistently operating at more than 100% of its stated capacities. This is due to continuous improvements and modernisation of plant and machinery. In order to better refl ect the current production capabilities, the management considers it appropriate to re-state the installed capacity at 2,90,000 tpa.

 

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

India’s per capita consumption of paper and board has shown consistent rising trend in recent years and it is expected that the market size will rise to 20 million tonnes by 2020 from around 10.5 million tonnes in 2010-11. Despite the slower growth last year due to economic slowdown, medium to long term growth potential of the industry remains bright. Low per capita consumption of paper and board, at around 9.5 kg, vis-ŕ-vis the average World consumption of 58 kg., along with increasing literacy levels, higher spending on education sector, changing urban lifestyles as well as better economic growth augur well for sustained growth of the Indian Paper industry.

 

Office Papers: The market for office papers was adversely affected last year due to general economic slowdown and the consequent lesser spends by corporate and other sectors. Bunching of capacity additions in recent years added to the market pressure. However, there are signs of improvement and sales have picked up to some extent in the last quarter of the year. This trend is likely to continue in the coming quarters.

 

Coated Papers: The two-side coated segment where your Company operates exhibited a growth of about 12% during the year and continues to grow robustly due to high growth in corporate retailing and shift in marketing and branding methodology. However, the prices were adversely impacted during much of the year due to higher imports from China and South Korea at low prices. In the recent months, steep depreciation of the Rupee coupled with reduced pressure from these sources have enabled the industry in improving realizations.

 

Packaging Board: The overall segment has grown at around 9-10% during the last year. The main reasons for this increase in demand are rising disposable incomes and retail boom both of which call for superior grade packaging. This is resulting in shifting of lower quality packaging board to premium quality packaging board. The Company opines that these trends are likely to sustain in the medium to long term thus making this sector poised for growth. JK Paper has been focusing on the upper end of Packaging Board which is benefitting from the shifts.

 

 

EXPANSION

 

JK Paper’s expansion cum modernization project is on track. It envisages enlarging the annual capacity from the current 2,90,000 tonnes to 4,55,000 tonnes per annum by early 2013. The Rs. 1,6530.000 Millions expansion project achieved financial closure with financing done through a mix of funding viz: Rights Issue, FCCBs, Internal Accruals, Rupee-debt from Indian Banks and Forex-debt from multilateral development funding institutions.

 

This expansion plan will enable us to retain our leadership position in the Office Paper segment. New production line will manufacture multi-purpose cut size Office Papers. The machines from Germany and Finland incorporate the latest technology and are being sourced from the world leaders in the respective fields. By introducing contemporary technology, the Company will be able to conserve water and energy besides reducing emissions and waste discharge. It will also give us scale economies, help reduce consumption of coal and lead to more efficient use of fibre which will help the Company in being more cost competitive. Physical progress of the project is as per schedule, and project is expected to be complete by end of this calendar year. Commercial production is expected during beginning of next calendar year. To part finance the above expansion at Unit JKPM, at district Rayagada, Odisha and to fund expenditure for general corporate purposes, your Company had during the year under review issued 5,84,70,686 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each at a price of Rs. 42 (including premium of Rs. 32) aggregating to Rs. 245.58 Crore on Rights basis in the ratio of three Equity Shares for every four Equity Shares held on the Record Date i.e. 27th July 2011. Consequent to the Rights Issue, the paid-up Equity Share Capital of the Company increased w.e.f. 3rd September 2011 to Rs. 1366.200 Millions from Rs. 781.500 Millions. The proceeds of the Rights Issue are being utilised as per objects of the issue and pending full utilisation, the balance amount are invested in mutual funds and fixed deposits with banks.

 

The Company had also issued unsecured and unlisted Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) aggregating to Euro 35 Million (equivalent to Rs. 2261.400 Millions) to European Development Financial Institutions in May, 2011. Various loans have also been negotiated from domestic and international banks/ institutions and the project finance stands fully tied-up.

 

 

CUSTOMER-IN CULTURE AND QUALITY

 

JK Paper has been committed to meeting customers needs by offering them a range of products that confirm to their varied requirements. They have been doing this through regular and continual up gradation in product quality, modernization and adoption of latest technology and processes, and strict adherence to quality standards and pro active customer interaction.

 

Customers are periodically invited to the Mills for interaction with our workmen and staff. This makes the Company staff more quality conscious and customer focused. The Company has been taking up regular audits to identify the areas for improvement and take appropriate corrective and preventive measures. This has helped to understand customer preference and prepare ourselves to stay ahead of competition. Last year, we developed new products for specific segments like C1S coated boards (Natural shade), Playing Card Boards, and Up gradation of JK Easy copier shade etc.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

Global economic recovery has seen a mixed pattern. While US has shown modest recovery, Europe is still struggling to get over its debt crisis. Emerging economies have done relatively better even though their performance has been adversely affected by slowdown in developed economies.

 

Though the overall sentiments improved during 2012, it would be too early to say that the global economy is out of the woods. The events in Euro Zone and indicators from China need to be closely monitored to develop any view on the future prospects. Much will depend on whether US will continue to sustain the upward trajectory of growth. Any unfavorable developments in Middle East are likely to have an impact on crude oil prices and put the recovery at a risk. Considering all this the global growth in 2012 is not expected to rise sharply and may linger around the last year rate of 2.7%. Recent years have seen emerging economies, especially Asia and Latin America driving growth of global paper and board consumption but developed economies even now contribute significant proportion of global demand. Any adverse development in this bloc impacts global performance of the paper industry and it is expected that global demand in 2011 will be around 400 million tonnes marginally higher than 395 million tonnes achieved in 2010.

 

Paper industry in developed economies has been hit by increasing competition from electronic media such as internet advertising, email, eBooks etc and this is likely to get accentuated in the coming years. Paper and Board

demand in emerging economies has, however, been robust thanks to increasing consumerism, purchasing power, emphasis on education and knowledge as also the relatively low per capita consumption of paper and board vis-ŕ-vis those in developed countries.

 

 

IMPACT OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTS ON INDIAN PAPER AND BOARD INDUSTRY

 

The slowdown in global economy had its effect on the Indian economy with the GDP growth slowing down to 6.5% in 2011/12 from 8.4% in 2010-11. Consequently, the Indian paper and board industry was impacted by cost cutting by corporate sector and other end use sectors. International pulp prices softened during the period but dollar appreciation negated the possible gains to the industry. Indian industry went through a challenging period last year due to the tough market conditions and rising input costs especially of energy and to some extent chemical and other inputs. Industry’s pricing power was limited while rising costs put pressure on profit margins. We see some welcome signs of recovery both in demand and pricing in recent months and hope that this will continue in the coming quarters. The long term growth story of the industry is still intact and we expect that the industry will soon catch up with its earlier growth path.

 

 

SUPPLY AND DEMAND SCENARIO IN INDIAN PAPER AND BOARD INDUSTRY

 

The industry experienced an unprecedented situation in 2011-12 with growth slowdown and commissioning of new capacities in some segments by major players. This led to a temporary demand – supply mismatch and inventory buildup in the industry. With no new capacity additions likely in the near future, this mismatch will be absorbed in the next few quarters as the economy returns to trend growth.

 

Over the past few years, the Indian industry has grown faster at 8.5% annually as against the global paper industry growth of 2%. The long term growth drivers, which remain intact, will ensure that the Indian paper industry will continue to grow at 8-9% in this decade. Slowdown in most of the developed markets has forced major global paper manufacturers look at newer markets across the world. India with its attractive growth rate is emerging as one of the obvious choices. They expect to see some of these players in the Indian markets. Most of these players are not likely to enter the market through Greenfield projects but through acquisition of existing capacities. This could trigger a round of consolidation in the currently fragmented industry.

 

 

MARKET FOR COMPANY’S PRODUCTS

 

The market for Writing and Printing paper is expected to grow by about 9% annually over the next 5-7 years. As a result market size will expand from the current 4.4 million tonnes to about 8 million tonnes per year. The industry will also see acceleration in the trend that favours branded and value added products. The combined annual size of Copier and Coated Papers is expected to double over the next 5 years as a result of increasing use of electronic devices, e-ticketing etc.

 

 

COPIER AND OFFICE PAPER

 

Growth of Office Papers was sluggish last year for a variety of reasons. Demand was subdued due to growth slowdown in the economy and cost cutting across the board. At the same time there was excess supply due to recent capacity additions. The demand growth was muted in the first 9 months but the scenario improved during Jan-March 2012. Taking a medium to long term outlook, it is clear that there is a good demand growth coming from digital printing segment. This would mean greater requirement of high quality papers like ColorLok that is marketed by the Company. With the current expansion programme at JK Paper Mills getting completed soon, the Company will be able to enhance market share in Copier and Office Paper market over the next few years.

 

 

COATED PAPER

 

Coated Paper segment maintained the strong growth in 2011-12 as well, though the market witnessed high imports of Coated Paper from China and Korea at a very cheap landed price compared to domestic prices. Due to antidumping duties imposed by US and Europe on Chinese Coated paper, the segment witnessed aggressive selling in India by Chinese producers. The situation eased to some extent, thanks to rupee depreciation that made imported Coated Paper relatively more expensive vis-ŕ-vis the local output. This helped the Company to take some price increases in the last quarter of FY 2011-12. Growth in this segment is expected to continue on account of switch over from uncoated paper in specific applications.

 

 

PACKAGING BOARDS

 

Increasing disposable income and retail boom has led to increased thrust on superior product packaging in consumer goods. Consumer goods companies are increasingly focusing on improving their product packaging to increase visibility of their products and grab customer attention. This is fuelling high growth in the premium Packaging Boards segment. Most of the end-use industries like FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Beverages are experiencing good volume growth year on year. These industries are also switching from low quality Duplex Boards to high quality Virgin Fibre Boards for better visual appeal and functional properties, thus benefiting the Company. We expect the volume growth in this segment at a healthy rate of 9-10% annually with higher growth coming from premium Packaging Board segment in which the Company is present.

 

The Company was able to produce higher volumes this year due to the machine rebuild that was completed towards the end of last year. The Company could achieve higher capacity utilization of 106% on this expanded capacity and successfully market it in the domestic markets to achieve a market share of over 25%. The Company also optimised its product mix to achieve higher volumes in products with higher profit margins. The Company has been consistently improving its service levels to exceed customer expectations and strengthen its relationship with them.

 

 

OUTSOURCING

 

To tide over the capacity constraint and to satisfy customers’ needs for those products not manufactured in-house, the Company has been actively encouraging outsourcing as an option. Last year they increased our outsourcing activity which helped them to reach out to more customers particularly in lower GSM Coated Papers. The Company would continue to use this model to exploit opportunities available in the market.

 

 

STATIONERY PRODUCTS

 

For the Company the stationery business is becoming increasingly important. Through this business the Company is supplying note books to schools and ring pads to corporate sector. This is a value added product, the market for which is growing due to thrust on education at all levels. Within a short period the Company has managed to establish its products in this market and expanded its reach in all the four regions of the country. Last year saw consolidation of our earlier efforts and entry into new markets in each zone.

JK PAPER PLANS TO EXPAND BASE

 

SAURAV BORA

 

Paper and packaging major JK Paper plans to sustain its market leadership in the copier paper segment in the Northeast through adoption of newer technologies and expansion of its distribution network.

 

“We perceive the Northeast as an important market for our brands. As a matter of fact, we have been consistently focusing our attention on the region’s market in the past 18 years. The region will be key to JK Paper’s marketing strategy, particularly after commissioning of a new paper machine at our Odisha unit,” A.K. Ghosh, vice-president (marketing and sales) of the company told The Telegraph.

 

The company enjoys a 60 per cent market share in the Northeast and according to company sources, the plan is to take it beyond 70 per cent in the next three years. “Our total volume of sales in the region is estimated at 650 million tonnes per month,” the official said.

 

The total copier paper market in India is of the size of 5.4 lakh million tonnes. “JK Paper enjoys 28 per cent market share in the country, which will increase to aro-und 32 per cent after commissioning of the Odisha unit in the first quarter of 2013-14,” Ghosh said.

 

The company is also looking at strengthening its distribution network. “We have 15 dealers in the region and plan to add another seven to eight in the next two years,” a company source said.

 

“After the start of production from our new plant in Odisha, we will be making efforts to fill up the gaps that exist in the Northeast market. This, we believe, will strengthen our distribution network,” Ghosh said.

 

The paper major is eyeing augmentation of sales after being the only Indian company to secure ColorLok technology for producing high-quality paper from Hewlett Packard.

 

“Colorlok paper is easy to recycle as the ink is firmly put up on the surface of the paper and therefore consumes lower energy and less amount of water. The paper can also be de-inked for recycling. The technology facilitates superior print quality and enables reduction in operational costs for end-users such as photocopy shops, private and government offices and hospitals, among others,” he said.

 

Superiority of the technology in digital equipment makes it extremely necessary for the paper companies to meet their requirements. “From the perspective of future trends in paper usage, most paper mills would have to make necessary changes in their manufacturing process and adopt new technologies like Colorlok,” the official said.

JK PAPERS EYEING RS 25000.000 MILLIONS BUSINESS NEXT FISCAL

 

Tiruchirapalli (TN) Nov 23:  

 

JK Papers Limited, the flagship arm of the Singhania Group, is eyeing Rs 25000.000 Millions business next fiscal, according to a top company official.

 

“We are targeting to end this fiscal with over Rs 17000.000 Millions business as against Rs 15000.000 Millions last year. Next year we expect to surpass Rs 25000.000 Millions with our expansion plans, both in production capacity and in marketing network,” JK Papers Limited President A.S Mehta said.

 

As of now, products are made available in all major cities as part of its pan-India presence. New territories are being explored where JK Papers does not have distribution, he said, adding the company would focus on tier II and III towns in future, he said.

 

On the exports front, he said the quantum is expected to double from the current 1200-1500 tonnes to over 3,000 tonnes next year, equivalent to Rs 1500.000 Millions.

 

“For export market expansion, a comprehensive market survey, scanning and identity of locations and distributors has been done as a prelude. The thrust will be on expansion in Middle East and the more vibrant African countries,” he added.

 

“JK Papers is set for this massive expansion with an investment of Rs 16500.000 Millions,” Mehta said.

 

He added “We could have a simple expansion by adding machines of 50,000 tonne capacity of copier papers. But the idea is to build a most modern facility with state-of-the-art technology with a viable capacity with one single machine“.

 

Besides this, JK Papers is also putting up a brand new pulp mill with additional capacity.

 

To support these endeavours, the company would invest Rs 250.000 Millions to build the most modern warehousing process which would be totally automated, Mehta said.

PRASHANTH REDDY / HYDERABAD 01 NOV 12 | 05:56 PM

 

The Rs 16500.000 Millions expansion plan of JK Paper Limited, a flagship company of the JK Singhania group, will be completed by the first quarter of 2013-14, according to vice president (marketing & sales) AK Gosh.

 

Gosh told Business standard that JK Paper was setting up a new 165,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) paper plant at its existing unit in Rayagada in Odhisa.

 

Following this, the combined installed paper-making capacity of the company's manufacturing units would go up from 294,000 tpa to 465,000 tpa. JK currently operates two paper plants located in Odhisa and Gujarat.


The company recently formed a joint venture (JV), Oji India Packaging Private Limited, in partnership with two Japanese firms -- Oji Holdings Corporation and Marubeni Corporation -- to make and sell corrugated packaging projects.

The JV is planning to set up a 34,000-tpa manufacturing unit at the Neemrana Industrial Park in Rajasthan at cost of Rs 1500.000 Millions. JK will have a 20% share in the JV for an equity investment of up to Rs 150.000 Millions.

This apart, the company is set to pick up an equity stake in a state-owned pulp mill of Myanmar. The deal was expected to give a foothold for the company in that country, which was now opening up to foreign investment.  The details of the deal were reportedly being worked out.
