The company manufactures newsprint, a wide range of industrial paper board like duplex board, unbleached board, craft board, chip board, etc, and packaging products like multi-wall paper bags, at its two manufacturing plants in Utran and Ankleshwar, both in Gujarat. Newsprint - an import subsitute product - is supplied to eminent dailies of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
