According to India's "Printing Weekly" report on March 3, in addition to the difficulties caused by the new crown epidemic, the Indian printing industry is also facing a double blow from the continuous increase in the prices of paper, printing plates, chemicals, and inks. And other raw materials and input costs have increased dramatically. According to reports, the All India Printer Federation (AIFMP) condemned the sharp increase in the prices of raw materials such as paper, printing plates and chemicals. The organization said in a recent statement: The unprecedented increase in paper prices by paper manufacturers is a major obstacle to its operations. At the same time, the consumable industry is unwilling to shift costs, making the printing business unsustainable. Kamal Chopra, chairman of the Federation of Printers, said that the "Necessities Act" of 1955 stipulated that newsprint, cardboard and straw paper were classified as "necessities." He said: "We believe that this law has not been properly implemented. We hope that the government will intervene and supervise its strict implementation."

Shreams Kumar, Managing Director of India's "Motherland" said: "We spend nearly 50% to 60% of our costs on buying newsprint. Since the government has not lowered import taxes, our costs will only increase. In difficult times, newsprint prices Rising is a major problem in the printing industry, and we have to pay hundreds of thousands of employees in the industry." However, it is small companies that are most affected by rising raw material prices. The report pointed out that in response to this situation, most printers are taking measures to use local newsprint to balance costs and develop other production strategies to adapt to rising costs. The report also said that India’s 2021 budget has not announced that it will exempt the printing industry from import taxes on newsprint, and the printing industry is working har...
