What Satia Industries does

Satia Industries Ltd. is an Indian wood and agro-based paper manufacturer incorporated in 1980 and headquartered in Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab. It operates a fully integrated manufacturing facility comprising four paper machines with total pulping capacity of 480 TPD, a 44 MW biomass-based captive power plant, a chemical recovery plant that recovers 90-95% of caustic soda, and a PCC plant that captures 24,400 m3/hr of CO2. The company produces writing and printing paper across GSM 42-200 — including Super Snow White, Maplitho, Coloured Paper, Ledger, Cartridge, Bond, Duplicating, and Copier grades — using wheat straw, sarkanda, wood chips, veneer waste, and waste paper as raw materials. It also produces cup stock paper, virgin-fibre paper cups (launched 2021), and table cutlery, with cutlery machines scaled to 14 units by FY2025-26.

The company's revenue model is primarily B2B sales of paper and paper-based products, supplemented by trading of Renewable Energy Certificates earned from its biomass power plant. Its go-to-market combines direct institutional sales to state education boards, government textbook corporations, Indian Railway, and large commercial printers, alongside a Pan India distribution network of 70+ dealers serving commercial and retail channels. Branch offices are maintained in Delhi, Chandigarh, and Jaipur to support North India institutional sales. It is a publicly listed company on both BSE (September 2015) and NSE (July 2019) under the ticker SATIA, founder-controlled by Dr. Ajay Satia. FY2025-26 revenue was Rs 1,451.91 crore, down 3.97% year-on-year, with net profit of Rs 40.91 crore — a 65.51% decline year-on-year — reflecting margin pressure in its core government-institutional paper segment.
