Ballarpur Industries, owned by the Gautam Thapar-run Avantha Group, is one of the largest paper and pulp manufacturers in the country, with an installed capacity of over 1 million tonnes. The company ranks 211 on our list. Production is spread over five factories in Haryana, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh. There’s also a factory in Malaysia. Between them, these factories produce 2.6% of the world’s paper. Per capita consumption of paper in India stands at 10 kg, and the industry has been growing at about 8% year on year. For 2013-14, domestic production is estimated to be 11.38 million tonnes. The industry mostly uses wood, bamboo, recycled fibre, wheat straw, and rice husk as raw materials.
