Jain: The price hike has been ruthless and easily the most aggressive I have seen in my 30-year career
Noel D’Cunha (NMD): Last month, the Indore Master Printers Association (IMPA) printed a booklet,
Fact N Figures which highlighted the impact of raw materials price hike. What is the latest on the price front?
Pritesh Jain (PJ): The price hike has been ruthless and easily the most aggressive I have seen in my 30-year career. The shortage of pulp and waste paper created this situation worldwide. The prices are currently inflated around 30-50% in different variants as compared to November 2020. However, the prices for UV varnishes, adhesives and other chemicals are still rising sharply.
