Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited, established in 1979 by the Government of Tamil Nadu, is one of India’s largest integrated paper manufacturers, specializing in producing newsprint and writing paper using bagasse, a sugarcane residue. In 2025, the company focused on enhancing operational efficiency and shifting its product mix toward high-margin segments like solid bleached sulphate (SBS) board and premium copier paper to counter rising input costs and low-priced imports. Recent updates from 2025 indicate that the company maintained steady paper production at approximately 112,510 MT per quarter and continued its deleveraging efforts, reducing long-term debt significantly from previous levels. Major institutional investors as of December 2025 include the HDFC Infrastructure Fund, holding a 3.83% stake, while the Government of Tamil Nadu remains the primary promoter with a 35.32% holding.
