Ganga Papers India

What Ganga Papers India does

Ganga Papers India Ltd. is a Pune-headquartered, B2B paper manufacturer founded in 1985 and listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (ticker: GANGAPA). The company operates a single manufacturing plant at Gat 241, Village-Bebedohal, Taluka-Maval, Pune-410506, alongside a corporate office in Baner, Pune. It serves industrial and commercial buyers across India with a unified product portfolio organized into three core categories: Kraft Paper (comprising Fluting Paper for corrugated board middle liners and Test Liner Kraft for food/durables/tray packaging), Newsprinting and Writing Printing Paper, and internally-produced Pulp.

The company's underlying technology is paper manufacturing using 100% recycled waste paper as the sole raw material input, supported by world-class infrastructure and latest plant and machinery, plus an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for operations management. This 100% waste-paper sourcing is positioned as both a cost-efficiency lever and a sustainability differentiator ('Cleaner World' is a stated pillar). Manufacturing emphasis per company materials is captured by the motto 'Production Must, Quality First.'

The business model is straightforward industrial paper sales: the company manufactures and sells paper products directly to B2B buyers — primarily packaging manufacturers (kraft paper / corrugated board), newspaper publishers (newsprint), and stationery / commercial printing buyers (writing-printing paper). Revenue mechanics are hardware/product sales with no disclosed pricing model or named customer contracts. Distribution appears to be direct B2B sales, supplemented potentially by wholesale channels for smaller buyers. The company is promoter-led by the Kanoria and Chaudhary families, with Sandeep Kanoria as Managing Director and recent (March 2026) chairperson transition to Manish Kumar, alongside a standard SEBI LODR-compliant governance and disclosure apparatus as a listed entity.
