The Economic Times (India) reported this past week that Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman asked paper manufacturers to "reformulate" business models and make use of degraded land to plant trees that can be availed as raw material by the industry. 

"It is a very critical industry. You have contributions to make (to the country). You (paper manufacturers) are at a critical juncture and have to reformulate yourself," the commerce and industry minister said. 

She was speaking at the inauguration of the 56th AGM of Federati.
