HINDUSTAN PAPER CORPORATION LTD

Hindustan Paper Corporation Ltd. in Silchar, also known as the Cachar Paper Mill, was once a significant industrial establishment in Assam. Established in the early 1980s, this mill was part of the broader efforts to boost the paper industry in India, contributing significantly to the economy of the region. Located in Panchgram, near Silchar, the mill was known for producing quality writing and printing paper from bamboo, which was abundantly available in the surrounding areas.

At its peak, Hindustan Paper Corporation Ltd. provided employment to thousands of people and played a crucial role in the socio-economic development of the Barak Valley region. However, over the years, the mill faced numerous challenges, including financial difficulties, which led to its eventual closure. Despite its shutdown, the mill remains a symbol of industrial heritage in Silchar, with many locals still hoping for its revival, as it represents an important chapter in the region's industrial history.
