Star Paper Mills Ltd, established in 1936, specializes in manufacturing and supplying a variety of paper and paperboard products, including writing, printing paper, paper boards, and MG kraft paper. Originally under the Bajorias, the company faced financial difficulties and was classified as a sick unit in the late 1980s, subsequently being taken over by the Duncan Goenka group as part of a rehabilitation plan.
The company has continually evolved its operations and product offerings, such as shifting to 100% bleached products in 1995 and introducing specialties like document paper for printing the Constitution of India. Star Paper Mills has also focused on modernization efforts, commissioning a chemical recovery boiler, an evaporator plant, and, in 2007, a new turbine and oxygen delignification plant to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. The firm markets its products under the "Star" brand, with notable ventures into producing photocopier paper and expanding into the sugar industry.
