IPAMA had been exploring the possibility of developing an industrial cluster or plots in Faridabad, in collaboration with HSIIDC, a Government of Haryana undertaking, for the benefit of the Indian printing and packaging industry and to extend maximum facilities to its members. In pursuance to this, IPAMA invited printing, packaging and allied machinery manufacturers for a site visit of the industrial model township and an interactive session with HSIIDC officials at the K-Hotel in Faridabad, Haryana on 1 June 2015.
In response to the call of IPAMA, approximately 50manufacturers attended the meeting and expressed their willingness for industrial plots in the form of a cluster. After visiting the industrial plots developed by HSIIDC, Salil Narang, general manager, HSIIDC, furnished details about the cluster scheme.
The detailed discussion with members covered the rates, enhancement plan, possession period and various other important issues. Soon after the meeting, 14 plots (each plot with a minimum area of 1,000 square metres)were booked on the spot, totaling an area of 15,600 square metres, followed by eight companies which were keen to be a part of the cluster but needed more time to decide on the size of the plot to suit their requirements.
While concluding the meeting, KS Khurana, president, and CP Paul, general secretary, IPAMA elaborated the benefits of the cluster scheme and the importance of having factories in one location by citing success stories of similar clusters. Paul thanked Narang and his team and the members present for their enthusiastic response to the proposal.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
