From luxury packaging to everyday essentials, AURA delivers premium quality, eco-friendly solutions. In its quest for expansion and adding additional capacity towards leadership in pulp and paper industry, TNPL has examined various options. As the existing site is saturated in terms of land area, TNPL thought of a green field project in a new location. As the Paper Board is recognized as a growing segment, TNPL thought it prudent to foray into this market segment. Accordingly, a Paper Board project was conceived, and thus TNPL Unit-II emerged. A total of 874 acres of land was acquired in Mondi Patti and nearby area in Manapparai Taluk, Trichy District to set up a Board Plant. TNPL Unit-II was designed to produce 200,000 MT per annum high grade Paper Board for usage in pharmaceutical, health care, food, cosmetics and other consumer product industries, in various GSM ranging from 170 to 450. Civil construction for the project was started in April 2014. Machinery er****on was completed in December 2015 and the Board was reeled on January 21, 2016, in a record time of 22 months. The commercial production has commenced from 1.05.2016. The plant was constructed using cement manufactured by TNPL in its Cement Plant in Kagithapuram. With the completion of Board Project in January 2016, the total production capacity of TNPL has increased to 600,000 MT per annum. As a part of afforestation plan, more than 6,80,000 trees of nearly 68 varieties have been planted in and around TNPL’s Unit II. Green cover was developed in an area of 570 acres and maintained through drip irrigation and sophisticated waste water treatment plant. More than 8000 cu,m/day of waste water is being treated at the advanced effluent treatment process installed in the plant. Close to 1,000 cu.m/day is being reused for non-process application
like cleaning and about 7,000 cu.m/day is utilized for green belt plantation and block plantation. This green mission of TNPL has not only created a favourable micro climate for the establishment, but also
increased the flora and fauna around the plant.
