23,000 cr. p.a. to the Exchequer and accounting for about 1/3[rd] of the legal industry. It is pertinent to note that illicit trade tends to get embedded in the ecosystem, posing serious challenges to public health and law enforcement; this is borne out by past experience in India and in other regions with high tax incidence.
-
Stability in taxes on cigarettes along with deterrent actions by enforcement agencies in recent years checked the growth of illicit industry and enabled volume recovery for the legal cigarette industry, leading to higher demand for Indian tobaccos and bolstering revenue to the exchequer from the tobacco sector.
-
The changes in GST and Excise Duty rates announced recently, have led to an unprecedented increase in tax incidence on cigarettes. Such a steep increase will provide further impetus to illicit trade and cause immense hardship and loss to millions of farmers, MSMEs, retailers, local value chains nurtured by the industry and the Exchequer.
-
The legal cigarette industry continues to engage with policymakers for a framework of pragmatic, equitable, non-discriminatory, evidence-based regulations and taxation policies that balance the economic imperatives of the country and tobacco control objectives, cognising for the unique tobacco consumption pattern in India.
**
-
Agri Business Segment Revenue up 6.3% YoY led by Value Added Agri products & Leaf Tobacco
-
Crop development expertise, superior product quality and strong customer relationships drive growth in leaf tobacco exports
-
Robust growth in Value Added Agri products (VAAP) driven by aqua and coffee; the strategic focus of the Business continues to be on accelerating growth by rapidly scaling up its VAAP portfolio, straddling multiple value chains comprising Spices, Coffee, Frozen Marine Products and Processed Fruits, amongst others.
-
Continued improvement in operating performance of Paper Segment; underlying profits up 19% QoQ and 11% YoY
-
Performance includes impact of planned shutdown for maintenance of High Pressure Recovery Boiler & Paper machines; reported profits up 3.6% QoQ, margins up 40 bps
-
Overall Industry remains impacted by low-priced imports, high wood prices & subdued realisations
-
Minimum Import Price (MIP) has been imposed on Virgin Multi-layer Paperboard, effective 22[nd] August’25; green shoots of improvement in net realisations during the quarter
-
Proactive interventions by the Business over the past few years have led to improved wood availability; however, during the quarter, higher wood availability was partly offset by severe cyclones in harvesting season, keeping wood prices elevated; prices are expected to moderate going forward
-
-
Industry continues to represent to policy makers for extension of MIP and sustained safeguard measures in respect of low-priced imports of paperboards and coated/uncoated paper.
-
Robust growth in Packaging and Printing Business driven by both Flexibles and Cartons portfolio.
The Indian economy grew by 8.2% YoY in real terms during Q2FY26, reflecting its strong macroeconomic fundamentals amidst rising geopolitical tensions, evolving trade dynamics, and heightened uncertainty & volatility.
Benign inflation, resilient rural demand and acceleration in credit growth were some of the key positives during the quarter. The Indian Rupee, however, remained under pressure during the quarter due to sustained FII capital outflows and elevated Trade Deficit.
Reduction in interest rates & liquidity support by RBI, lower inflation, income tax cuts along with front loading of Government expenditure, reduction in GST rates across a wide range of products and the IndiaEU Free Trade Agreement augur well for economic growth. Further, these measures are expected to enhance consumer affordability, revitalise small and medium enterprises, stimulate a virtuous cycle of economic growth, and accelerate the Nation’s journey to ‘Viksit Bharat’.
