1 Indian Paper Manufacturers Association (IPMA) New Delhi, India 1 Industry Overview (1/2) Industry manufactures (1) Writing & Printing Paper, (2) Paperboard / Packaging Paper, (3) Newsprint, (4) Specialty Paper, and (5) Others Industry has strong backward linkages with the farming community and has agro forestry roots Compliant with Government s Environment Charter Annual turnover of around INR 50,000 crores Industry provides direct employment to 5 lakh persons, and indirectly to 15 lakh Number of Mills:

2 Industry Overview (2/2) India s share in world production of paper is currently about 3% Per capita paper consumption in India is currently around 13 kgs (global average 57 kgs), projected to rise to at least 17 kgsby In the last 5 years, over INR 20,000 crores invested by paper industry in new capacities 1 million TPA of integrated pulp, paper and paperboard capacity has to be created in India on an annual basis over the current capacity to meet the growing demand Investment required by 2026 in new capacities at least INR 90,000 crores 3 Major Area of Concern - Raw Material Scarcity India is a fibredeficient country -inadequate raw material availability domestically is a major constraint for the paper industry Current demand for wood by paper industry is about 11 million TPA (against domestic availability of 9 million TPA) and is projected to rise to 15 million TPA by % of wood demand met through industry driven agro / social forestry; 10% through Government sources and imports Scarcity has led to high wood prices in the country More than doubled in last three-four years 4 2

3 Thousand Tonnes Rising Imports of Paper, Paperboard & Newsprint 2,800 2,600 2,400 2,200 2,000 1,800 1,600 1,400 1,200 1,000 Imports of Paper, Paperboard & Newsprint (DGCI&S) 1,785 2,126 2,028 2,254 2,347 2,610 5 Year CAGR: 8% 5 Year CAGR (excluding Newsprint): 16% Nil BCD under India-ASEAN FTA 5 Year CAGR (excluding Newsprint): 39% Year 5 1. Retention of Peak Rate of Customs Duty on Paper & Paperboard Indian paper industry has become very vulnerable and endeavour of major global players in the international market is to push large quantities of paper and paperboards into the Indian market. Leading the pack are manufacturers in Indonesia and China who enjoy substantial amount of export incentives and other advantages. USA and EU have imposed anti-dumping / anti-subsidy tariffs on import of paper / paperboards from China and Indonesia to protect their domestic industries. Export dependant economies like ASEAN countries have excess capacity and these countries find India as an attractive outlet for diverting their excess inventory(nil basic customs duties under the India-ASEAN FTA). Government should retain the current import duty structure (BCD of 10%) to save the domestic paper industry from injury arising out of unbridled imports. PaperandpaperboardshouldbekeptinthenegativelistinallFTAs,bilateraland multilateral agreements to check rising imports, especially from ASEAN countries. 6 3

4 2. Exemption of Special Additional Duty (SAD) on Import of Pulp and Other Inputs by the Paper Industry In the Union Budget for , exemption of SAD on inputs to be used by various industries was announced so as to provide relief on accumulation of CENVAT credit. Pulp & paper industry is a highly capital intensive industry where input credit on capital items is substantial and on top of it, 4% SAD is levied on import of pulp which further accumulates CENVAT credit, resulting into blockage of working capital. Government should favourably consider the exemption of SAD on import of pulp (Chapter47)andotherinputsbythepulp&paperindustry Reduction in Applicable Rate of Excise Duty on Tissue / Toilet Paper Applicable rate of excise duty on most items of paper and paperboard is 6%, buttherateofexcisedutyontoilet/tissuepaperhasbeenkeptat12.5%. Tissue / Toilet Paper (HS Code and ) which are manufactured under strict hygienic condition, are widely used institutionally, viz. hotels, hospitals, railways, airlines, offices, tourism industry, information technology and by millions of hygiene conscious consumers. Considering its potential for growth and its importance being bio-degradable, a hygiene and convenience product, the tissue segment of the paper industry does warrant fiscal support from the Government. Government should bring all grades of paper, including Tissue / Toilet Paper (HS Code and ), on par with respect to the applicable rate of exciseduty(6%). 8 4

5 4. Reduction in Applicable Rate of Excise Duty on Paper and Paperboard, coated, impregnated or covered with plastics, excluding adhesives Applicable rate of excise duty on most items of paper and paperboard is 6%, but the rate of excise duty on paper and paperboard, coated, impregnated or covered with plastics, excluding adhesives, has been kept at 12.5%. Paper and Paperboard, coated, impregnated or covered with plastics, excluding adhesives (HS Code ) are coated with layer of plastics on either one or both sides. This coating to the paperboard / paper imparts barrier properties and make it suitable for packaging / containers for foods and beverages. This type of board is bio-degradable and a good substitute for plastics which do not match the hygiene and environmental standards of this type of boards / paper. Globally, the trend is to actively discourage the use of plastic and support its replacement with paper/ paperboard material. Government should favourably consider to bring all grades of paper, including paper and paperboard, coated, impregnated or covered with plastics, excluding adhesives, (HS Code ), on par with respect to the applicable rate of exciseduty(6%) Make the Clean Energy Cess levied on Coal, if used for Power Generation, Cenvatable The levy of Clean Energy Cess on INR 200 per tonne was increased to INR 400 per tonne in the Union Budget for In case of pulp & paper industry, coal is being used for power generation and such an increase, in addition to increase in the railway freight, has made a significant impact on the cost structure of the industry. Pulp & paper industry is finding it difficult to absorb the same as it is not in a position to pass on the above impact in view of competitive pressure as well as import of paper & paperboard at nil duty from ASEAN countries. Government should favourably consider making the Clean Energy Cess levied on Coal,ifusedforPowerGeneration,Cenvatable,sothattoatleastthisextent,the energy cost remains at a competitive level. 10 5

6 6. Concessional (Merit) Rate of GST on Paper & Paperboard Industry To promote literacy in the country, it is essential to keep writing & printing paper affordable to the masses. Paper & paperboard provide a much more environment-friendly and better packaging material than alternate material like plastic. It is very important that post the implementation of GST, the prices of paper and paperboard remain affordable to the people. Government should favourably consider levy of Concessional(Merit) Rate(which could be around 10%) of GST on paper and paperboard, rather than Standard Rate
