Orient Paper & Industries Ltd Approves Revised Capital Expenditure Plan for Amlai Plant

Orient Paper & Industries Ltd has announced that its Board of Directors has approved a modification to the capital expenditure plan for its Amlai paper plant in Madhya Pradesh, reinforcing the company’s strategic focus on technology-led growth and operational efficiency.

Under the revised plan, the company will invest approximately ₹213 crore to install a new advanced tissue paper machine, replacing earlier proposals centered on incremental modernization and debottlenecking. The updated approach also supersedes a previously envisaged larger-scale expansion project.

The investment is expected to increase production capacity by approximately 23,400 tonnes per annum (TPA), enhancing the plant’s ability to meet growing demand in the tissue and hygiene paper segment. The project is targeted for completion by FY 2029–30.

The revised capex strategy reflects Orient Paper’s commitment to adopting state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, enabling improved product quality, higher efficiency, and greater cost competitiveness. By prioritizing focused technological upgrades over broader legacy modernization, the company aims to strengthen its position in value-added paper segments.

The Amlai facility remains a key manufacturing hub for the company, and the new investment underscores its importance in Orient Paper’s long-term growth roadmap.
