Strategic Developments

Furthermore, the company is making significant strides in its infrastructure projects, notably the Hardwood Bleach Chemical Thermo-Mechanical Pulp (BCTMP) plant. The project is currently at an advanced stage, with commercial production anticipated to commence from the first quarter of FY 2026-27.
