<h1>Banknote production modernisation and indigenization enables phased withdrawal of old series while securing domestic paper supply.</h1> Phasing out of older banknote series is effected through central bank instructions to banks to prevent re issuance and by staged withdrawal processes for specified denominations. Simultaneously, printing infrastructure has been modernised with state presses installing advanced machinery and in house plate production, while indigenisation of banknote paper is being pursued via new paper lines at an existing mill and additional lines through a joint venture mill to meet domestic paper requirements.
