ITC to expand paperboard division's capacity

04 Jul 2011 Evaluate

Multi-business conglomerate ITC's Paperboards and Specialty Papers Division (PSPD) plans to expand its manufacturing capacity by one lakh tonne per annum at an investment of Rs 600 crore. The division is also expected to improve its bottom line in the current fiscal significantly, due to improved market conditions and cost cutting measures being taken. The present capacity of PSPD is 4.6 lakh tonne per annum which would go up to nearly 5.6 lakh tonne on completion of expansion plans. The new capacity addition will be completed by October next year.

PSPD reported a sales growth of 12.9% at Rs 3,507 crore in FY11, while the earnings before interest and taxation grew by 19.7% at Rs 819.2 crore. The company is looking at acquiring companies with installed capacities of more than one lakh TPA. Century Textile's paper and pulp plant in Nainital has a capacity of 2 lakh tonne per annum, manufacturing writing and printing paper and rayon grade pulp.crackcrack
