Homefoil enters greaseproof paper segment at AAHAR 2026

Homefoil, the premium consumer brand of LSKB Aluminium Foils, has expanded into the paper-based packaging segment with the launch of greaseproof paper at AAHAR 2026, the International Food and Hospitality Fair in Delhi.

According to the press release, the newly launched greaseproof paper offers oil resistance of up to 168 hours, significantly higher than conventional uncoated paper formats that typically resist grease for only five to six hours. The product is designed to minimise oil seepage and staining, supporting cleaner food handling and improved presentation across both household and commercial kitchens.

Manufactured using food-contact safe materials with FDA-compliant additives, the biodegradable and non-toxic paper aligns with the company’s focus on hygienic and safe food packaging solutions for retail and food service applications.

The product was introduced to distributors, HoReCa operators and retail partners at the exhibition, reflecting the growing demand for grease-management solutions across both domestic and commercial food environments.

The new greaseproof paper has been designed to manage oil absorption, maintain food texture and support hygienic handling during cooking, storage and service. Manufactured at LSKB’s facility in Sonipat, the product is engineered to deliver consistent roll strength and thickness for applications such as food wrapping, baking preparation and microwave reheating.

The initial rollout includes four roll variants — 20+5, 40, 75 and 90 metres — designed to serve both domestic kitchens and high-volume HoReCa requirements.

Commenting on the launch, Kunal Bajaj, director, Jupiter Group, said, “Food service operators today are managing higher volumes, faster turnaround times and stricter hygiene requirements. Packaging materials that perform consistently under these conditions are becoming critical. The rapid growth of quick service restaurants (QSRs), cloud kitchens, and the evolving food delivery and takeaway ecosystem has played a key role in driving demand for foil and allied packaging solutions in the Indian market.”

Lakshay Singhal, director, LSKB Aluminium Foils, said, “Our premium golden foil range has emerged as one of the most trusted and widely used products in our portfolio. As consumer expectations around hygiene, food safety and convenience continue to evolve, we see a clear opportunity to bring better quality solutions into the food packaging category. Our entry into grease proof paper is part of this journey — expanding our offerings while maintaining the same focus on reliability and performance. We believe initiatives like these will also contribute to the broader growth and quality standards of India’s food packaging ecosystem.”

The commercial rollout of Homefoil greaseproof paper will begin in March 2026 through retail and institutional channels. Distribution will leverage the company’s network of more than 150 distributors and over 25,000 channel partners across India. The products will also be available through eCommerce and quick-commerce platforms including Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto and Hyperpure by Zomato.

Alongside the launch, Homefoil also showcased its Golden Embossed Aluminium Foil — described by the company as India’s first golden embossed foil — along with its two-in-one paper and golden foil format and its broader aluminium foil range at AAHAR 2026. The established foil portfolio continues to serve as the foundation for the brand’s expansion into complementary food packaging segments.
