All 5 Documented Cases
लकड़ी आपूर्ति की कमी के कारण कच्चे माल की लागत में वृद्धि
₹2-5 crores annually for mid-sized mills (estimated 15-25% cost premium on raw materials due to supply constraints)Indian pulp and paper industry faces chronic timber scarcity. Only 2 million m³ of the 47 million m³ annual demand comes from state forests; the remainder from trees outside forests (TOF). Insufficient domestic supply forces long-distance transport and imports, raising material costs. Raw material costs represent 57% of total manufacturing costs in Indian paper mills.
लकड़ी की वैधता सत्यापन और सतत वनस्पति प्रमाणन में विफलता
₹50-200 lakhs in potential fines and operational shutdown risk (estimated based on environmental non-compliance penalties in Indian forestry sector)Indian timber procurement requires verification of wood legality and certification of sustainability. Different regions have their own forestry policies. Government regulations mandate responsible timber procurement. Manual verification by procurement teams relies on supplier documentation accuracy, creating compliance gaps. Non-compliant sourcing can trigger government audits, fines, and business license suspension.
लकड़ी परिवहन और बुनियादी ढांचे में병목 (Timber Transport & Infrastructure Bottlenecks)
₹50-100 lakhs annually per mill in lost production capacity and extended procurement cycles (estimated 20-30% efficiency loss)Indian timber procurement is severely constrained by outdated logistics. Long-distance transport relies almost entirely on trucks (15-20 ton capacity), with minimal rail utilization. Harvesting remains manual (axes) rather than mechanized (chainsaws). No suitable supply chain management software exists in most mills. These factors create cumulative delays in procurement cycles and limit mill throughput.
सरकारी नीलामी में भुगतान और उठान में देरी (Government Auction Payment & Clearance Delays)
₹30-50 lakhs annually in working capital tied up (60-day payment float for typical ₹5-10 crore annual auction purchases); forfeiture risk if clearance deadlines missedGovernment timber auctions impose strict payment (60 banking days) and lift timelines. Buyers must pay full amount before or shortly after auction and clear material within specified periods, or forfeit. Manual milling coordination and seasonal capacity shortages in sawmills create clearing delays, tying up capital and creating forfeiture risk.
