Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited, a leading player in India's waste management industry, has made a significant breakthrough through its subsidiary, Antony Lara Enviro Solutions Pvt Ltd. The company has secured two Waste-to-Energy (WTE) projects in Andhra Pradesh, each with a capacity of approximately 15 megawatts, with a combined value of around 3,200 crore. These projects, awarded by the New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Ltd, are expected to be developed over a construction timeline of 24 months, starting from the date of concession signing, PPA execution, or land transfer, whichever comes later.

Once operational, the projects will run under a 20-year concession agreement, during which the Andhra Pradesh Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (APSPDCL) will purchase the generated power at 8.10 per unit. The facilities are aimed at servicing the Kurnool and YSR Kadapa regions, featuring a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) designed to handle mixed municipal waste before energy conversion. The MRF will extract recyclables and segregate organics for dedicated treatment, diverting thousands of tonnes of solid waste daily from landfills and significantly cutting methane and carbon emissions.
