Saha and Bright Paper Mill Launches Near Patna with INR 200 Million Investment

Saha and Bright Paper Pvt. Ltd. has commenced operations at its new kraft paper mill in Rakunpura, near Patna, Bihar, with a production capacity of 200 tonnes per day. The mill, inaugurated by Bihar’s Industries Minister Nitish Mishra, is the state's first green-technology-based paper facility, focusing on kraft paper grades ideal for corrugation and packaging. With a capital investment of around INR 200 million, the plant supports regional demand in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Eastern Uttar Pradesh, with future export potential. The greenfield project uses modern machinery from China and India, with wastewater treatment installed for environmental compliance. Management monitors market conditions cautiously amid overcapacity but plans to diversify by adding a tissue paper machine in the coming years. This strategic launch reinforces Bihar's growing stature as an industrial hub for paper manufacturing
