PAPER INDUSTRY REVIEW
There are many companies
in the Paper Industry in India. Notable amongst them are : NR Agarwal, West
Coast Paper, Star Paper, Seshasayee Paper, Ruchira Papers, Shreyans Ind, JK
Paper, Intl Paper APPM, Pudumjee Paper , Genus Paper.
From this list, now, I first
omit those Companies which are making losses. We will not consider them. We
will now calculate the margin of profits to sales (per Rs.100)– and shortlist -
NR Agarwal (18.07%); West Coast Paper (13.05), Star Paper (12.83); Seshasayee
paper (11.12); and Ruchira papers (10.97)
Those with profit margins
below 10% I am omitting from our consideration
We will examine each of
these 5 now on some crucial parameters :
