The major utilities required for manufacturing paper are power, fuel, and water. 

POWER
In the Kraft Plant, 100% Power supply is from H.P. State Electricity Board (HPSEB). A 132 KV Sub-Station of HPSEB is just around 600 Meters away from the Mill, from where dedicated Feeder for Ruchira Papers has been drawn to get better quality of Power in terms of voltage as well as to reduce the interruption. Our Mill has 4000 KW Power connection.

In the Writing & Printing Plant, The Company has set up 7.2 MWh Power Co-generation plant for captive purpose to get uninterrupted power supply for its operations.

We also lays due emphasis on power conservation. CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) energy audit team conducted a detailed energy audit of Ruchira Papers Limited including all thermal and electrical equipments. Various energy saving proposals were suggested and since then, we have been in the process of implementing the proposals in a phased manner. Implementation of some of the proposals has resulted into reduced power consumption (per ton of paper) which has added to the profitability of our Company. We were also accredited with an appreciation letter from CII for contributing to the power conservation.

FUEL
Agricultural Residues (Bio Mass) are being used as a fuel such as Rice Husk, Bagasse, Forest Waste Plants, Cotton stock, Mustard stock etc.

WATER
Water, which is one of the important requirements of paper industry is abundantly available at site in the form of ground water. The water level at site is very good as the Markanda River flows just 1000 meters away from the site. In both Plants, Water availability is made by digging the Borewell  and adopting most advanced system for re-circulation of the back Water. The Consumption is reduced to only 42 M3 Per Ton of Paper against normal consumption of 100/150 M3 Per Ton of Paper in similar Industries (Kraft Unit) and 293 M3 Per Ton of Paper  (Writing & Printing unit). We have four Tube Wells running at present.
