About the Company

Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited is one of the top five players in the Indian Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management industry. The company provides a range of MSW services including solid waste collection, transportation, processing, and disposal services across India catering to Indian municipalities. It is a pioneer in both MSW collection and transportation (MSW C&T) sectors. Antony Waste is also a key player in the landfill construction and management sector and MSW-based Waste-to-Energy (WTE) 

The company undertakes MSW C&T projects that involve door to door collection of MSW from households, slums, commercial establishments, and other bulk-waste generators (community bins) from a designated area through primary collection vehicles like compactors, dumper placers and tippers and transportation of these materials, to the processing facility, transfer station or a landfill disposal site.

It also undertakes MSW processing projects which involve sorting and segregating the waste received from MSW C&T, followed by composting, recycling, shredding, and compressing into Refuse-derived Fuel (RDF). Further, Antony Waste manages mechanized sweeping projects which involve deploying of power sweeping machines, manpower, comprehensive maintenance, consumables, safe disposal of the waste, and any other items required for completion of the cleaning operation of the designated areas.

1. Part-financing for PCMC WTE Project through investment in its subsidiaries – AG Enviro and/or ALESPL.
2. Reduction of the consolidated borrowings of the Company and Subsidiaries by infusing debt in its subsidiary –  AG Enviro for repayment/prepayment of a portion of their outstanding debt.
3. General corporate purposes.

3. Risk Factors

• Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited is dependent on municipal authorities for a substantial proportion of its business and revenue. Many municipalities have been struggling to fund various solid waste management projects from their own revenue receipts and are highly dependent on state/central grants/budget allocation. Any decline in the budgetary allocation towards MSW projects will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• MSW projects are typically awarded to a company on the satisfaction of prescribed pre-qualification criteria and following a competitive bidding process. The company’s business and financial condition may be adversely affected if new MSW projects are not awarded to it.
• Antony Waste depends on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of its revenue. The loss of any of its major customers due to any adverse development or significant reduction in business from a major customer may adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.
• The company operates in limited geographies for a significant portion of its revenue. Projects in new geographies may not be as profitable as the current major contracts that the company has.
• The solid waste management industry tends to require companies to have high working capital. If Antony Waste fails to meet the working capital requirement, then there can be an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• The company’s operations include activities that could be hazardous to the health of its employees and other risks that could expose it to material liabilities and increased expenses and negatively impact employee morale.
• If Antony Waste fails to obtain, maintain or renew requisite statutory and regulatory permits and approvals for its business operations, then its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could get adversely affected.
• The company employs a significant number of personnel in its business operations which are a substantial part of its total expense and the number may increase substantially in the future. It may be subject to work stoppages and face labor disruptions with its employees or contract workers in the future that would interfere with its operations and adversely impact its business and financial condition.
• The actual cost in executing an MSW contract may vary substantially from the assumptions underlying a bid. Hence, the company may be unable to recover all or some of the additional expenses, which may have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
• To date, the company has not completed the execution of any WTE project. Hence, it cannot assure investors that these projects will be successful or if it would be able to achieve better returns as compared to the existing MSW C&T projects, or any returns at all.
• The company is exposed to risks related to availability and cost of fuel and electricity for its projects which could adversely affect its business and results of operations. Any anticipated fluctuations in fuel costs may adversely affect the business and profitability.
• Obsolescence, destruction, theft or breakdown of its equipment, or failure to repair or maintain such equipment, or the enforcement of any security rights over such assets, where such assets are mortgaged as security for its borrowings, may adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
