Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing

buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase

The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Then the paper is rotated in dryers section in dryers section To remover further moisture in webpaper and then fed into
calendar part to get smoothness Finally sheet is rewinded on a iron sheet roll (Rewinder) These paper rolls are fed into finishing amp converting house
where paper sheet is converted into sheet size (At cutter) amp in reels As per market demand

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

A Grade paper is manufactured from Wood Pulp B Grade paper is manufactured from Local waster paper or
low quality of wood pulp To remove dust amp sand before these Raw Materials are being
Fed into rotary Batch digesters through belt Conveyor Only strong and log fibre is used in making paper washing of
material is dine at wet cleaning plant Then washed material is fed into digestion section (digestor
House) in continuos digestor where caustic soda amp steam are fed in continuos digestor to cook the material
Material is cooked in continuos digestor under controlled condition of steam pressure amp temperature
Then the homogeneously cooked material is fed in refilling plant
There is a different section amp pulp is overflow in different sections
Then pulp is fed in the washer there chemical are washed so that to make the pulp chemical free

pulp plant so that to remove residual chemical Fibre pulps are used to give strength in paper amp these are fed
into stock preparation plant Here colours are also added to make colored paper This ready stuff is now fed in paper machine The stuff is feeded at wire through head box so pulp is formed
into sheet At wire section water in pulp is removing by gravity amp by
suction boxes

The formed sheet is then fed into press part the sheet is pressed in between rolls to remove water
Then the paper is rotated in dryers section in dryers section To remover further moisture in webpaper and then fed into
calendar part to get smoothness Finally sheet is rewinded on a iron sheet roll (Rewinder) These paper rolls are fed into finishing amp converting house
where paper sheet is converted into sheet size (At cutter) amp in reels As per market demand
These bundles ampreels properly marked in excise amp dispatch goodwn

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

REASONS OF BILTrsquoS SUCCESS

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

House) in continuos digestor where caustic soda amp steam are fed in continuos digestor to cook the material
Material is cooked in continuos digestor under controlled condition of steam pressure amp temperature
Then the homogeneously cooked material is fed in refilling plant
There is a different section amp pulp is overflow in different sections

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

PROCESS OF PAPER MAKING
MAINLY PAPER IS CLASSIFIED IN TO THREE GRADES A Grade B Grade
A Grade paper is manufactured from Wood Pulp B Grade paper is manufactured from Local waster paper or
low quality of wood pulp To remove dust amp sand before these Raw Materials are being
Fed into rotary Batch digesters through belt Conveyor Only strong and log fibre is used in making paper washing of
material is dine at wet cleaning plant Then washed material is fed into digestion section (digestor
House) in continuos digestor where caustic soda amp steam are fed in continuos digestor to cook the material
Material is cooked in continuos digestor under controlled condition of steam pressure amp temperature
Then the homogeneously cooked material is fed in refilling plant
There is a different section amp pulp is overflow in different sections
Then pulp is fed in the washer there chemical are washed so that to make the pulp chemical free

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

PROCESS OF PAPER MAKING
MAINLY PAPER IS CLASSIFIED IN TO THREE GRADES A Grade B Grade
A Grade paper is manufactured from Wood Pulp B Grade paper is manufactured from Local waster paper or
low quality of wood pulp To remove dust amp sand before these Raw Materials are being
Fed into rotary Batch digesters through belt Conveyor Only strong and log fibre is used in making paper washing of
material is dine at wet cleaning plant Then washed material is fed into digestion section (digestor
House) in continuos digestor where caustic soda amp steam are fed in continuos digestor to cook the material
Material is cooked in continuos digestor under controlled condition of steam pressure amp temperature
Then the homogeneously cooked material is fed in refilling plant
There is a different section amp pulp is overflow in different sections
Then pulp is fed in the washer there chemical are washed so that to make the pulp chemical free
Still the pulp color is brown This brown pulp is bleached in bleaching section to make the
pulp plant so that to remove residual chemical Fibre pulps are used to give strength in paper amp these are fed
into stock preparation plant Here colours are also added to make colored paper This ready stuff is now fed in paper machine The stuff is feeded at wire through head box so pulp is formed
into sheet At wire section water in pulp is removing by gravity amp by
suction boxes
12
The formed sheet is then fed into press part the sheet is pressed in between rolls to remove water
Then the paper is rotated in dryers section in dryers section To remover further moisture in webpaper and then fed into
calendar part to get smoothness Finally sheet is rewinded on a iron sheet roll (Rewinder) These paper rolls are fed into finishing amp converting house
where paper sheet is converted into sheet size (At cutter) amp in reels As per market demand
These bundles ampreels properly marked in excise amp dispatch goodwn

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

PROCESS OF PAPER MAKING
MAINLY PAPER IS CLASSIFIED IN TO THREE GRADES A Grade B Grade
A Grade paper is manufactured from Wood Pulp B Grade paper is manufactured from Local waster paper or
low quality of wood pulp To remove dust amp sand before these Raw Materials are being
Fed into rotary Batch digesters through belt Conveyor Only strong and log fibre is used in making paper washing of
material is dine at wet cleaning plant Then washed material is fed into digestion section (digestor
House) in continuos digestor where caustic soda amp steam are fed in continuos digestor to cook the material
Material is cooked in continuos digestor under controlled condition of steam pressure amp temperature
Then the homogeneously cooked material is fed in refilling plant
There is a different section amp pulp is overflow in different sections
Then pulp is fed in the washer there chemical are washed so that to make the pulp chemical free
Still the pulp color is brown This brown pulp is bleached in bleaching section to make the
pulp plant so that to remove residual chemical Fibre pulps are used to give strength in paper amp these are fed
into stock preparation plant Here colours are also added to make colored paper This ready stuff is now fed in paper machine The stuff is feeded at wire through head box so pulp is formed
into sheet At wire section water in pulp is removing by gravity amp by
suction boxes
12
The formed sheet is then fed into press part the sheet is pressed in between rolls to remove water
Then the paper is rotated in dryers section in dryers section To remover further moisture in webpaper and then fed into
calendar part to get smoothness Finally sheet is rewinded on a iron sheet roll (Rewinder) These paper rolls are fed into finishing amp converting house
where paper sheet is converted into sheet size (At cutter) amp in reels As per market demand
These bundles ampreels properly marked in excise amp dispatch goodwn
Paper manufactured is used for mainly printing copy manufacturing computer stationary photocopy typing book printing cover paper etc
Paper is basically measure in GSM-higher the GSM thicker is the paper

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power
AS we are aware bout that BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted
by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsThere are number of productbrand which are indroduce to the retail marketing

REASONS OF BILTrsquoS SUCCESS
1 Set up of own pulp mill to lower the pulp cost

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

REASONS OF BILTrsquoS SUCCESS
1 Set up of own pulp mill to lower the pulp cost

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power
AS we are aware bout that BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted
by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsThere are number of productbrand which are indroduce to the retail marketing

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it

performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Mergers amp Acquisitions
New Delhi June 5 (2006)
Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Ballarpur Industries Ltd (BILT) on Monday said that it was looking to acquire a majority stake in a Malaysian-based paper and pulp company Sabah Forest Industries SDN BHD (SFI) jointly with JP Morgan for $ 261 million
For the acquisition BILT has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with JP Morgan which will hold a 20 per cent stake in SFI
SFI which is a part of Malaysias Lion Forest Industries has a paper capacity of 144000 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and pulp capacity of 120000 mtpa The company would provide BILT access to around 289000 hectares of forest land which would be utilised for plantation purposes SFI also operates a timber and plywood mill a jetty and power and steam generation plant facility
We will begin the due diligence exercise for SFI which would be completed in the next 120 days said Mr Gautam Thapar BILT Chairman He said that with this acquisition BILT would be able to produce one million tonne of paper and pulp by 2010 While the 350000 mtpa domestic expansion at the Bhigwan unit is on the acquisition in Malaysia gives us an additional 140000 mtpa of paper all of which would raise our capacity to one million tonne per annum by June 2010 Mr Thapar said
Ballarpur apart from benefiting from SFIs mill and forest lands may consider setting up a 500000-tonne capacity pulp mill in Malaysia at an estimated cost of $500 million which may become operational by 2012 Mr Thapar said
Besides providing access to integrated pulp and paper capacity of SFI the acquisition will help secure future availability of fibre for the company Mr Thapar said
The acquisition in Malaysia would help cut costs for BILT According to Mr RR Vederah Joint Managing Director of BILT Costs in Malaysia are nearly half of that in India which is a big advantage for us
Meanwhile BILTs profit and revenue are likely to grow by double-digit each year over the next 10 years due to a continued surge in demand for paper in the country Paper demand grew 10 per cent last year We should be able to maintain the growth this year as well Mr Thapar said
Further BILT said the company may go in for an across-the-board two per cent increase in paper prices from July this year due to higher input prices and increased demand
BILT witnessed a 097 per cent increase in its share price at the Bombay Stock Exchange to close at Rs 120 on Monday June 5(2006)

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

REASONS OF BILTrsquoS SUCCESS
1 Set up of own pulp mill to lower the pulp cost

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -

performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Retail selling
BILT was in to retail selling from the year 2000 after a complete market study was conducted by the HO marketing team keeping the retail selling growth factor in mind due to increase in market demand for the retail productsPreviously these products were marketed by the wholesalers amp dealers themselves by taking the parent size paper form the mills amp then cutting and pacing the same into the retail usable size ie A4 A3 B4 amp B5 etc and distributing it through the already existing retail marketing channel through out India As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as
well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done in a very organized way The only brand which was the most popular amongst all retailers and users was JKrsquos was the market leader having the 100 market share along with some of the foreign brands like MODI XEROX The first copier brand (used for photo copying) was XEROX a foreign company and at a later stage it collaborated with MODI group of companies and purchased paper from various Indian mills and cut and packed the same and sold under his brand name Gradually with the introduction of JK lsquos own brand in this segment a major price game started and ultimately other players like TNPLCENTURYORINTAPPM (Andhra pulp and paper mills) SESHASAYEE GODREJ etcAccording to the market demand of different grades of copier as well as letter sheets there have been different varieties of paper available in the market Amongst all the varieties available in the available in the market the brand name that is the most popular one is JK and BILT Their quality has been the most consistent and their prices also match each other so the only competition comer from JKRetailing
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk or by post in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser As paper business a very old kind of business so the retail market exists in all the small cities as well as metros urban amp suburban and also in the most un-organized sectors in India The Dealer wholesaler used to earn a lot of money out of it because it was not done] Retailing may include subordinated services such as delivery Purchasers may be individuals or businesses In commerce a retailer
buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers either directly or through a wholesaler and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user Retail establishments are often called shops or stores Retailers are at the end of the supply chain Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy
In a modern dayrsquos there are number ofShops may be on residential streets shopping streets with few or no houses or in a shopping center or mall but are mostly found in the central business district Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation In the Paper Industry retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud Online retailing also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf mail order)
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing sometimes it is done as a recreational activity Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase
R etail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost Another common technique is suggested retail pricing This simply involves charging the
amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product by the manufacturer
In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

In Western countries retail prices are often called psychological prices or odd prices
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels Alternatively there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasonsfor example In a Paper Industry there are lot of variety they have manufacuturedThe chances of discrimination of price are highlywhere the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others For example a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to The retailer may conclude this due to the customers wealth carelessness lack of knowledge or eagerness to buy Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students Retailers who are overstocked or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to sales where prices are marked down often by advertised percentages - 50 off
Retail Services
Behind the scenes at retail there is another factor at work Corporations and independent store owners alike are always trying to get the edge on their competitors One way to do this is to hire a merchandising solutions company to design custom store displays that will attract more customers in a certain demographic The nations largest retailers spend millions every year on in-store marketing programs that correspond to season and promotional changes As products change so will a retail landscape
Retail types
There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

There are three major types of retailing
The first is the market a physical location where buyers and sellers converge Usually this is done in town squares sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls)
The second form is shop or store trading Some shops use counter-service where goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller This type of retail is common for small expensive items (eg jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor Self-service where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase has become more common since the 20th century
A third form of retail is virtual retail where products are ordered via mail telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog on television or on a website Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as Amazon[3]
There are also consignment shops which are where a person can place an item in a store and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop gives the item exposure to more potential buyersThe term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals such as with telephone or electric power

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

REASONS OF BILTrsquoS SUCCESS

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it

1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials

Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

REASONS OF BILTrsquoS SUCCESS
1 Set up of own pulp mill to lower the pulp cost

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic

RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of
premium vendors5 Fast market quality information at
head office Gurgaon where Buyers are invited to report about any complaint amp when they report immediate action is taken Goodwill in the market is created
6 Better resource planning
THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it

mass4 Introduction of superior quality of

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved

THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE
Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it

Paper is a cyclical industry This states that the prices of paper fluctuate twice or thrice in a year BILT holds a major chunk of market share in the paper industry BILT enjoys market leadership in coated paper range due to its unmatched quality and production Shree Gopal Unit holds sufficient space but still it requires more land for the implementation plans in respect to future expansion prospects Sustained availability of good quality of raw materials (forest based) Unit Shree Gopal insisted upon adequate modernization of the manufacturing assets It also takes into consideration of improvement of the infrastructure The unit carries effective environmental management Unit Shree Gopal continuously persisted on quality improvements and reduction in cost of production
Some areas of the unit such as godowns are under utilized which must be managed properly The company is facing the shortage of power supply due to electricity cuts Heavy reliance on outside transporters for shipping of goods and materials
CONCLUSION
Paper industry is of cyclical nature and the global paper industry is on come back trail Indian paper industry has also started looking up Indiarsquos per capita consumption of paper is around 400kg which is one of the lowest in the world with the expected increase in literacy rate and growth of the economy an increase in the per capita consumption of paper is expected The demand for upstream market of paper medical grade coated paper tea bags and filter paper light weight online coated paper medical grade coated paper and etc is growing up These developments are expected to give fillip to the industry
The total capacity of the paper industry is about 15 million tones and it is growing at the rate of 6 Here again there is a big gap between demand and supply Demand is growing at 6 and supply at 3-4
There might be a fall of prices because of fall in global prices It is more of a psychological fall than a demand-supply
mismatch The senior officials are quite sure that demand will soon out ship supply
BILT always look for good assets to add value to the operations It has the best distribution system in the country The operating performance speaks for itself In the sense virtually they are operating every year at 100 capacity utilization and selling the product If we look at the other best players in the industry they would never exceed 90 in good years and in bad years they go down to as low as 70
In India the maximum growth in writing and printing has come from copier paper the reason being the increase in photocopying BILT is also witnessing growth from coated paper The ratio between coated and uncoated paper is highly skewed towards uncoated paper is the cheapest But with the developed countries The economy the consumption of coated paper is also increasing
The things have started looking better for the paper industry as a result of the revival in the Indian economy Even globally the paper prices have started moving up This will reduce the incidence of low cost imports The market share of BILT is around 22 and is expected to come up to 30 with in a year or so The paper market is growing by 6 and coated paper market is growing around 10 and copier around 12
Now the aim is to grow at higher percentage than these and for this BILT should realize that they have to do it by combination of both field expansion and looking at the possibility of future acquisition in the paper industry for this for future consolidation BILT should look at the domestic
market and there are lots of companies in the block which we feel have a synergy with it
RECOMMENDATIONS amp SUGGESTIONS
The main of the study was to get knowledge about working in the marketing field in an organization amp to analyze the retail sale with help of data (BILTrsquos retail products BILTrsquos main customers competitors BILTrsquos position BILTrsquos services etc) collected from RDWs On the basis of study amp findings various recommendations were made which are given below -
1 It was found from the study that retail product IMAGE COPIER is maximum in sale so company should increase the production of IMAGE COPIER It is found from the study that maximum monthly sale is of 5 tones which is shown by some the RDWs which give maximum sale to BILT are given incentives which is a very good characteristic of BILT for Business There should also be increases in supply to these RDWs Some of the RDWs give minimum sale Their
performance in the past should be examined amp then accordingly supply of retail products should be increased or decreased
2 Major consumers of BILTrsquos retail products are students So BILT should pose more emphasis on satisfying the demands of the students
3 it is found from the study that sale increases from march to September amp decreases form oct to feb Maximum sale occur in the months of May amp June Minimum sale occur in dec so BILT should plan its production amp supply according to demand for the market
4 Upgraded technology should be introduced in order to meet market specifications
5 Unit marketing should attend more complaints6 There should be better coordination between
marketing amp process7 There should be more flexibility in manufacturing of
specific orders8 There had never been proper launching amp advertising
of specific products BILT should start advertising it products which can increase its sale amp increase its market share from 76to100 After conducting the research various relevant findings revealed the true picture of the paper industry After studying about Unit Shree Gopal the conclusions drawn with some recommendations for improvements
BILT have their own USP focusing on quality The recommendations relate to continue same strategies along with diversion in the attributes like pricing promotion etc
Unit Shree Gopal is recommended to consider upon the transportation facility The unit is heavily relying upon the outdoor transporters who
play their discretion the transportation which may prove hassles in the smooth flow of goods to the destination Hence bring scar to the brand name of BILT
BILT has built up a name of its own Almost whole of the country is familiar to the generic term for paper Thereby BILT is recommended to utilize this brand popularity as a positioning strategy to cater new unexplored markets
Unit Shree Gopal though a reputed well ndash known and active subsidiary of BILT have least concentration on various active marketing activates Their main emphasis is on passive marketing In these modern times it is said that marketing is the backbone of any business Although the name is very popular but it is recommended to go in for improvement of their promotional mix by following professional approaches like brand positioning media advertising and other sales promotion techniques
Unit Shree Gopal is highly recommended to improve the quality of work life provided to the workers engaged in the production process The newly installed machinery is highly sophisticated but the older machines have poor quality of work life (in case of pollution poor lighting poor ventilation cleanliness etc)
These must be improved
