How important is a "brand" when it comes to selling paper? According to me, branding for paper is as "less important" as branding for something like steel.

Its not just branding the plain paper ...its branding the dairies, books,calendar  and all paper related stationery...something like what ITC does which i just using their name and capitalizing on the distribution.

You need to check what percentage of sales for BILT comes from such stationery items.

I don't like BILT because of this - their past sales & profit performance
 
Why have they messed up so badly in the past?

The company has reorganied its business. It has demerged its business and the company in its current form is more a concumer company rather than a commodity company.
 
Comparing the financials of the new avtaar with the old avtaar is therefore, not a right way of looking at BILT.
Jai Guru!!!
