April, 2015

Categories of Indian Pulp & Paper Mills Proposed Categorization under this Revised Charter

A1: Wood Based Pulp & Paper Mills producing bleached grades of chemicalpulps, papers, paperboards & newsprint

A2: Wood Based Pulp & Paper Mills producing unbleached grades of chemicalpulps, papers and paperboards

B1: Agro Based Pulp & Paper Mills producing bleached grades of chemicalpulps, papers, paperboards & newsprint

B2: Agro Based Pulp & Paper Mills producing unbleached grades of papers andpaperboards

C1: RCF and Market Pulp Based Paper Mills producing bleached grades ofpapers, paperboards & newsprint

C2: RCF and Market Pulp Based Paper Mills producing unbleached grades ofpapers and paperboards

D : RCF and Market Pulp Based Specialty Paper Mills

Mills that attract classification in more than one category will be deemed to be in the “highest”among those categories. For example, a mill that is both wood and agro based (A1 & B1) will beclassified as A1. The only exception will be mills that also manufacture specialty paper on a dailybasis as described elsewhere in this proposed Charter.
