Nine Dragons to Invest 6 Billion Yuan in Integrated Pulp and Paper Project in Chongqing

Nine Dragons Paper has announced plans to invest a total of 6 billion yuan in a pulp and paper integrated project in Chongqing, according to an environmental impact assessment released on March 30.

The project, described as a “Pulp and Paper Integrated Intelligent Factory Project,” will be implemented in two phases. The first phase, with an investment of 3.5 billion yuan, will focus on the construction of a green pulping expansion project. This phase includes the development of a 700,000-ton-per-year bleached sulfate chemical pulp production line along with supporting facilities.

The second phase will involve an additional investment of 2.5 billion yuan to build a 1 million-ton high-grade paper production line, also supported by related infrastructure.

The initial phase, which has now been formally disclosed, centers on establishing a large-scale chemical pulp production capacity aimed at supporting downstream paper manufacturing. The project is positioned as part of the company’s broader strategy to integrate pulp and paper production while advancing more environmentally aligned manufacturing processes.

No further timeline details or operational start dates were disclosed in the assessment.
