Business
West Coast Paper Mills Limited (WSTCSTPAPR.NS) manufactures a broad range of printing, writing, and packaging papers and boards in India. The company produces premium printing papers including WESCO brand products suitable for high-end applications; printing and writing papers from 52 to 140 grams per square meter (gsm); machine-glazed (MG) poster papers and boards from 80 to 300 gsm; business stationery papers; security and high-value grades such as MICR cheque paper, bond, parchment, azure laid, super shine, duraprint, and alkali-resistant paper; premium office papers for printers; and packaging products including cup stock varieties, folding box board, single and double coated boards with grey back and kraft back, ranging up to 600 gsm overall. Established in 1955 and headquartered in Bengaluru with its primary mill in Dandeli, Karnataka, the company operates primarily in the Indian market serving printing, publishing, stationery, notebooks, and packaging sectors while exporting wood-free uncoated paper internationally. In recent developments, West Coast Paper Mills pursues the acquisition of Century Pulp and Paper, positioning it as a close contender behind ITC in a deal valued at INR 3,000-3,500 crore to expand production capacity in writing, printing, copier, tissue, and paperboard segments. The company also completed the cost-effective acquisition of Andhra Paper, boosting consolidated installed capacity from 255,550 metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 320,000 mtpa, enhancing market leadership, brand strength, and earnings per share accretion as highlighted in its February 2025 investor presentation. These strategic moves follow technology upgrades for customized production and reflect ongoing efforts in environmental compliance, total quality management, and research for wood-to-paper innovations at its eco-friendly facility.
