(4) India is the fastest growing market for paper globally The futuristic view is that growth in paper consumption would be in multiples of GDP and hence an increase in consumption by one kg per capita would lead to an increase in demand of 1 million tonnes.

(15) India's wood resources are limited; therefore, cost of wood is much higher in global comparison. Since there is conspicuous absence of Government's policies favoring industrial/production plantation, securing future wood supplies will be the Industry's biggest challenge
