Kuantum Papers Limited — PPTs, 13-08-2026: Investor Presentation

Kuantum Papers delivered strong Q1-FY27 operational income, up 36.3% YoY to ₹303.8 Cr, fueled by a 35.3% surge in paper sales volume. However, higher raw material and fuel costs, linked to geopolitical events, squeezed profitability. Net profit fell 48.8% to ₹6.2 Cr, and EBITDA dipped 0.7% to ₹40.1 Cr, with diluted EPS at ₹0.71.

The company is aggressively expanding, aiming to boost production capacity by ~50% and optimize costs through plant upgrades. It's diversifying with new specialty products like Oil & Grease Resistant (OGR) paper for food wrapping, leveraging the single-use plastic ban. Key upgrades include a new Displacement Digestor System and automated wrapping machines, plus a major rebuild for Paper Machine 3. Sustainability is a core focus, with record clonal sapling production and expansion of farm forestry to ensure raw material security.
