Pulp & Paper

Pulp & Paper

Bamboo pulp from Assam is used in paper, packaging, tissues, and biodegradable products. It offers a fast-growing and renewable alternative to wood pulp.

Assam’s bamboo is processed into pulp for paper, boards, packaging materials, and moulded fibre products through chemical and mechanical pulping methods. Bamboo pulp is valued for its strength, renewability, and reduced environmental impact. This industry promotes circular economy practices and reduces pressure on forests. From a fiscal standpoint, these products attract applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP benefits. Imports of pulping, bleaching, and paper-making machinery may attract customs duties, with possible support under green-industry incentive schemes. On the non-fiscal side, products must comply with paper quality, safety, labelling, and environmental requirements. For exports, adherence to international pulp standards, environmental compliance, and sustainability reporting requirements is essential.
