India is one of the fastest-growing paper markets in the world, expanding at roughly 6 to 7 percent a year, with a deep base of integrated mills and a vast network of dedicated kraft producers serving the corrugation industry. The leading kraft and packaging-paper manufacturers in India include ITC, JK Paper, West Coast Paper Mills, TNPL, Andhra Paper, Century Pulp & Paper, Emami Paper Mills, Seshasayee Paper and Boards, Satia Industries, and Kuantum Papers. This guide profiles those producers and explains how to choose the right supplier for your application.
How to Choose a Kraft Paper Supplier
Define your requirements before comparing mills:
• Grade, GSM, and BF: Indian kraft for corrugation is specified by GSM and Bursting Factor (BF). Match both to your box requirements; our kraft paper GSM chart explains weight ranges.
• Virgin or recycled fiber: most Indian kraft for packaging is recycled; integrated mills also offer virgin and agro-based grades.
• Certifications: look for FSC or PEFC and any food-contact or export compliance you require.
• Capacity and export ability: large integrated mills offer scale and export experience; smaller mills compete on price and flexibility.
• End use: packaging board, kraftliner, and writing-printing papers are different products, so confirm the specific grade.

Sourcing Note for Buyers
India offers cost-competitive kraft and packaging paper at large scale, with strong growth in capacity. Large integrated mills suit buyers who need volume, consistency, and export documentation, while the broad base of regional kraft mills competes hard on price for standard corrugation grades. For specialty industrial papers that local mills may not stock, custom widths, or smaller tightly specified orders, a dedicated specialty supplier is often the better route.
Where Kangchuang Fits
Kangchuang Paper is a China-based manufacturer of specialty industrial papers, exporting to buyers in India and worldwide. We are not an Indian mill; we complement local supply with specialty grades such as sulfur-free paper for electronics, rust-proof (VCI) paper, partition, coated, and release papers, produced to custom specifications with low minimums. If you need specialty industrial paper, request a quote or free sample.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the largest kraft paper manufacturers in India?
The largest paper and paperboard producers include ITC, JK Paper, West Coast Paper Mills, TNPL, and Andhra Paper, along with Century Pulp & Paper, Emami Paper Mills, Seshasayee Paper and Boards, Satia Industries, and Kuantum Papers. India also has many regional kraft mills serving corrugation.
How is kraft paper specified in India?
Corrugation-grade kraft is specified mainly by GSM (weight) and Bursting Factor (BF), which indicates strength. Match both to your box and load requirements, and request test data from the supplier.
Is Indian kraft paper mostly recycled?
Much of India’s kraft for packaging is made from recycled fiber, though integrated mills also produce virgin wood-pulp and agro-based (bagasse and wheat-straw) grades. Confirm the fiber source for your application.
Can I import specialty industrial paper instead?
Yes. Buyers often source commodity kraft locally and import specialty industrial grades such as sulfur-free, VCI, partition, and release papers from specialist manufacturers like Kangchuang for custom or smaller orders.
Choosing the Right Partner
India combines large integrated mills with a vast base of regional kraft producers, giving buyers scale, growth, and competitive pricing. Define your grade, GSM, BF, fiber, and certification needs, then match them to an integrated mill for volume or a specialty supplier for custom industrial grades.
