Financial Performance

Antony Waste Handling Cell reported consolidated total income of ₹1,084.10 crore for FY2025-26, compared to ₹958.80 crore in FY2024-25. The company managed over 5.69 million tonnes of waste annually during the year. Key consolidated financial highlights are presented below.

Business Developments

During FY2025-26, the company secured new contracts and concessions with an aggregate value of approximately ₹4,800 crore, strengthening the group's order book to approximately ₹18,000 crore as of March 2026. Notable awards included two 7-year Collection & Transportation contracts from BMC, a 10-year pre-processing project from Thane Municipal Corporation, and two 20-year Waste-to-Energy projects in Kadapa and Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, through its subsidiary Antony Lara Enviro Solutions Private Limited. The WtE projects attracted strategic participation from JFE Engineering Corporation, Japan, which will invest over ¥750 million across the two SPVs, holding a 25% stake in each.

The merger of AG Enviro Infra Projects Limited with the company, effective December 31, 2025, pursuant to NCLT approval, was also completed during the year, aimed at simplifying the group structure and improving operational efficiency.

Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited has reported significant progress in its circular economy operations for FY26, driven by high volumes of resource recovery and renewable energy generation. The waste management firm commercialized over 15,500 tonnes of high-quality compost derived from organic waste and supplied more than 1.77 lakh tonnes of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) to sectors including cement, textiles, and paper. These activities collectively enabled the avoidance of over 1.63 lakh tCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions, reinforcing the company’s transition toward sustainable urban development.

The disclosure was made under Regulation 34(2)(f) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, as part of the company’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. Shiju Antony Kallarakal, Director & Chief Sustainability Officer, highlighted that sustainability is a catalyst for long-term value creation, with ESG principles integrated into core strategy and decision-making processes.

Operational Highlights and Resource Recovery

The company’s operational footprint expanded through efficient processing across its national network, which includes five plants and 41 offices. A key achievement was recorded at the Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste processing facility, which achieved a recycling rate of 96% through the recovery of manufactured sand and aggregates. Additionally, the bio-mining of 300,000 MT of legacy waste at the CIDCO site facilitated land reclamation and mitigated environmental risks associated with leachate contamination.

Water stewardship practices were strengthened during the period. The Kanjur facility harvested 8,279.6 kilolitres of rainwater, while the PCMC facility utilized 76,460 kilolitres of treated water from the Sewage Treatment Plant. This reduced dependence on freshwater resources and supported circular water management protocols.

Energy Generation and Emission Reduction

Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited continued to leverage waste-to-energy technologies to reduce its carbon footprint. The PCMC Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facility processed approximately 1,000 tonnes of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) per day, generating nearly 14 MW of green power, with 11.9 MW exported to the grid. During FY26, the plant generated approximately 69.3 million units of green electricity, bringing cumulative generation since inception to around 203 million units.

At the Kanjurmarg facility, landfill gas capture generated 3.88 million units of renewable electricity, utilized for captive consumption. The company avoided approximately 10,071 tCO2e emissions through renewable energy deployment at these facilities and aerobic composting initiatives. Total Scope 1 emissions stood at 26,705 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, while Scope 2 emissions were 3,630 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a strategic pivot toward high-value resource recovery rather than mere disposal. The avoidance of 1.63 lakh tCO2e is directly linked to the diversion of waste from landfills to RDF production and composting, indicating that the company’s revenue model is increasingly aligned with carbon reduction outcomes. Furthermore, the utilization of 76,460 kilolitres of treated sewage water at the PCMC facility demonstrates a closed-loop approach to water management, reducing operational dependency on municipal freshwater supplies while lowering environmental discharge liabilities.
