2. The present requirement of India is about 25,000 MT per
annum and is mostly met by imports.
A security paper mill was set up by Govt of India in 1967 at
Hoshangabad to manufacture various security papers
including banknote paper. As the paper mill is very old and
mostly engaged in manufacture of other security papers, the
mill is able to meet only around 5% of present requirement.
MOF, GOI decided to set up 3 State-of-Art production lines
for manufacture of banknote paper, two lines at Mysore in a
green field environment and one line at existing security
paper mill, SPM, Hoshangabad as expansion.
The planned capacity of the green field project at Mysore is
12,000 TPA and that of SPM Hoshangabad is 6000 TPA.

16. India is the second 2nd largest consumer for banknote
paper in the world and the demand of currency is
increasing day by day. The annual requirement of the
banknote paper has increased from 13,500 MT in the
year 2007 to 25000 MT in the year 2013, almost 85%
increase during the last 6 years.
The statistics reveals that, our country will have to
increase the manufacturing capacity of banknote
paper immediately after establishing the new projects
to meet our own demand.
By establishing this project our engineers and
technicians will acquire the required knowledge and
master the skill to meet with all future challenges in
Powerpoint Templates
the field of banknote paper manufacture.

17. Indian banknote paper still uses security features developed
by other countries. This project will give an excellent
opening for all Indian R&D organizations like CSIR
Laboratories to develop new security features. The new
facility could become an implementation partner. If India
develop its own security features, the Country will be totally
self reliant with respect to the sovereign product.
If Govt. of India desires, there will be a situation of
readiness to meet bigger challenges for manufacturing
banknote paper for other countries also.
As the World’s best currency printing facility is already
available in India, with the indigenization of banknote
paper production, INDIA COULD BECOME A
CURRENCY HUB OF THE WORLD.
