Correction to India newsprint assessments on June 7

Fastmarkets has corrected its Asia Newsprint markets, FP-GP-0158 Newsprint 42g CIF India and FP-GP-0153 Newsprint 45g CIF India assessments, which were published incorrectly on June 7.

The prices were published correctly but the date of publication was incorrectly given as June 1. The prices were for the entire quarter, from April 1 to June 30. The date has been amended to reflect April 1, 2024, and not June 1, 2024.

This price is part of the Fastmarkets graphic paper package.
