The Management Discussion & Analysis Report as required forms part of this report.
Coral Newsprints Ltd was incorporated as a Public Limited Company. The present installed capacity of
the Company is 12600 Metric Ton per annum. In a constantly changing business scenario, maintaining
a niche becomes even more challenging. In such a situation only with innovative leadership, state-of-
the-art technology and committed people can make a company steal the lead over competition.
Presently, the Company is engaged in manufacturing of Newsprints and Absorbent Kraft Papers at its
existing factory located at Gajraula, Distt. Amroha (UP). The newsprint is used for the publication of
newspaper, magazines and rough notes & Cheaper books while Absorbent Kraft is used for the
manufacturing of laminated Mica Sheets.
Broadly, the industry is classified into four main segments - namely, writing and printing paper, Industrial
packaging paper, specialty paper and newsprints. India holds 15th rank among paper producing
countries in the world with a total installed capacity of 16 million tonnes. The demand is estimated at 17
million tonnes. The per capita consumption is around 13 kgs against the Asian average of 26 kgs and
World average of 58 kgs. India is considered as the fastest growing market for paper in the world with an
average annual growth of 6%. The domestic consumption is expected to rise to 25 million tones by
2024-25.
Indian Paper Industry is highly fragmented with over 750 paper mills of varying sizes spread across the
Country. Only 50 mills are of a capacity of 50,000 tpa or more. The overall capacity utilization is
estimated at 80-90 %.
The company is marketing its products all most all over the country through its Dealers network. At
present, the company is having as many as 30 Dealers & Customers. The company is registered with
Ministry of Industry & Commerce, New Delhi, under Newsprint Control Order 1962. Due to this the
company is entitle for 5% GST instead of 12% GST therefore having penetration in in marketing and
selling its newsprint to various reputed newspaper publishers who are registered with Registrar of
Newspaper for India.
IV. THE SUCCESS DRIVERS
Environment Management
Coral Newsprint Limited treats environment improvement as a priority area. Continuous studies are
undertaken to reduce the water consumption with improvement in the quality of effluent. Compliance to
pollution control norms and CREP regulations are strictly adhered to. The mill has implemented several
water conservation measures and reduced water consumption to 25 KL per ton of paper during 2023-24
is one of the lowest in the paper industry. Continuous efforts are taken to reduce the water consumption
to maximum possible extent at all stages.
The Indian paper industry has close linkages with economic growth. India''s growth in the fourth quarter
of the fiscal year 2020 went down to 3.1% according to the Ministry of Statistics. This drop is mainly due
to the corona virus pandemic effect on the Indian economy.
Increasing literacy level increases the demand for writing and printing paper while higher industrial
output leads to increased demand for industrial paper for packaging. The cumulative annual growth rate
in paper consumption over the last five years has prompted Indian paper manufacturers to undertake
significant capacity expansions. The cost of input material, primarily pulp and coal, has increased after
remaining subdued for some time, though coal prices are highly fluctuating. The increase in pulp and
waste paper prices have escalated the cost of production of paper for many mills across the country.
This trend of high input prices is also due to the growing demand in emerging economies. A strong
upswing in the pulp and paper market is being forecast based on the general improvement in the
economic situation and increasing literacy level in the developing countries.
In spite of the continual focus on digitization, India''s requirement for paper is anticipated to rise 53
percent in the next six years, principally due to a sustained boost in the number of school-going children
in rural areas. Growing consumerism, modern retailing, rising literacy and the growing use of
documentation will continue to increase the demand for writing and printing paper.
The exponential enlargement of e-commerce in the nation has opened up the latest horizon and could
contribute significantly to the demand where the paperboard is being predominantly used for
packaging.
Risks and uncertainties are an inherent part of every business, and yet it is important to identify the risks
and take proactive steps to mitigate them. At periodical intervals ''Coral'' identifies and evaluates risks
and takes preventive measures. Risk management is a part of the Company''s business planning and
controlling process.
Depending on the dynamics and severity, risks are categorized functions wise and classified further as
High Risk, Medium Risk and Low risk.
