Two high performance Ferag mailroom lines will support the new manroland web press being installed at Telangana Publications in India at the start of next year.

The four-year-old newspaper company is responding to the growth of its flagship daily Namasthe Telangana with a new plant equipped with a four-tower manroland Cromoman 4-1 press served by two Ferag lines, each comprising a HPC conveyor and HPS compensating stacker which delivers standard bundles and odd counts specified by data entered via a USB stick.

Chief executive D. Damodar Rao says the decision was made to go with state-of-the-art machinery, providing quality output, to cater for the increasing needs of all the Telengana readers.

Launched in 2011, the newspaper now peaks at 380,000 copies of which 150,000 copies are produced in Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana. Its local Telugu language is spoken by more than 76 per cent of the 35 million plus inhabitants of the federal state of Telangana which separated from Andhra Pradesh last year.
