UPCBMA unites manufacturers across UP to fight industry issues — gas, paper rates, supply chain, regulation — and to share lab testing, knowledge, and member services through regional chapters.
UPCBMA is a network of regional chapters across Uttar Pradesh — Kanpur, Lucknow, Agra, Meerut, and more. Each chapter runs its own local lab, committee, and member programs while the state body coordinates advocacy, policy, and statewide fixtures.
On any given month the secretariat is engaging suppliers on pricing, responding to compliance circulars, coordinating training, and supporting chapter labs. Chapters handle local operations; the state body handles the connective tissue.

A new Committee opened on 2nd May 2026, Saturday at IIA Bhawan as the corrugated box fraternity of Kanpur welcomed Shree Lalit Shyamdasani as President of UPCBMA's Kanpur Chapter for FY 2026-27.* The hall filled early. By 5:30 PM, members from across Kanpur's box manufacturing community had taken their seats in IIA Bhawan, the green and gold of UPCBMA's standees framing a stage that would, by evening's end, change hands. A change of guard, not of spirit This evening marks not merely a change of hands — it is the beginning of a renewed chapter. That single line, printed on every welcome card placed on the seats, set the tone for the evening. Shree Lalit Shyamdasani — Director of Himangi Packaging and a long-standing voice in the Kanpur fraternity — was unanimously installed as President. Joining him at the helm: Anand Bhatia (Laxmi Sheva Packaging) and Adhish Rastogi (UVR Commercial Pvt. Ltd.) as Vice-Presidents Sandeep Patni (Shakti Packagers) as General Secretary, with Jayesh Kanodia (Roll Pack Industries) as Joint Secretary Sparsh Mehrotra (Senior Box Factory, Ramji Press) as Treasurer, with Varun Jain (Siddhartha Packagers) as Joint Treasurer The general body greeted each name with applause. Anand Bhatia, Adish Rastogi, Shailendra Singh, Prakash Kanodia, Naveen Jain, Rahul Dwivedi, Shameem and many other members of the chapter were in attendance. Four pillars. One UPCBMA. The new committee's vision for the year was laid out plainly: Growth · Transparency · Technical · Welfare Translated: expanding member participation, opening books and meetings to scrutiny, raising the chapter lab's standards, and putting members' welfare ahead of everything else. A green slide on stage carried the quiet challenge of the day — "An association is only as strong as the members who shape it." — under a checklist: Attend the monthly meetings Use the lab — it is yours Consult the empanelled professionals Participate in the year's events Speak up. Contribute. Stand together. Voices from the fraternity Congratulations poured in from across the industry the same evening. Heartiest congratulations on your well-deserved post. Your commitment to the growth and welfare of the business community in Kanpur is widely recognized. We look forward to seeing positive changes, strengthened collaboration, and new milestones under your able leadership. प्रिय ललित जी एवं टीम, UPCBMA कानपुर चैप्टर के अध्यक्ष एवं कार्यकारिणी के रूप में वर्ष 2026-2028 के लिए निर्वाचित होने पर आप सभी को हृदय से बधाई एवं शुभकामनाएं। आपका सर्वसम्मति से चुना जाना सदस्यों के आपके प्रति अटूट विश्वास और सम्मान का प्रतीक है। — विवेक कनोडिया, पूर्व अध्यक्ष, UPCBMA कानपुर चैप्टर Press coverage The installation was carried in Amar Ujala and Dinar Times' Kanpur editions on 3 May 2026 under the headline "ललित श्यामदासानी बने यूपीसीबीएमए के अध्यक्ष" — Lalit Shyamdasani becomes UPCBMA President.
