Kathmandu: Arihant Auto Corrugation, the company behind the popular “Pure” brand of tissue paper rolls, has recorded a whopping Rs 1.59 billion in business transactions during the first six months of the current fiscal year.
Founded in 2010 and transformed into a public limited company in 2023, Arihant has consistently demonstrated strong market performance. In recent years, the company clocked annual turnovers of Rs 2.56 billion in 2024, Rs 2.51 billion in 2023, and Rs 2.35 billion in 2022, showing a 14 percent business growth between 2021 and 2024.
The company manufactures a diverse range of products, including cardboard boxes, kraft paper, laminated wood, and duplex paper. It also imports raw materials primarily from India and China to support its paper production operations.
Arihant’s profitability has also shown a promising trend. In 2024, the company posted a profit of Rs 369 million, up from Rs 300 million in 2023. Net profits stood at Rs 71 million in 2024 and Rs 43 million the year before.
In a sign of growing financial confidence, the company has secured a credit rating of Rs 2.56 billion for both long-term and short-term loans. This includes Rs 1.11 billion allocated for long-term debt and Rs 1.44 billion for short-term obligations.
A significant portion—around 78 percent—of the company’s 2024 transactions were related to raw materials, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of its production model.
Managing Director Paras Lunia continues to lead the company’s growth trajectory, steering it into new markets while strengthening its domestic manufacturing base.
