Management Comments :
Commenting on the results, Jose Jacob, Chairman & Managing Director, Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited said, “Strong on ground execution by the team has resulted operating revenue growth of 6% in Q3 FY23 on YOY basis. This growth also captures incremental contributions from our new Nashik C&T project, which began operations in December 2022, as well as tipping fees escalation to take into account the inflation in various costs. In Q3 FY23, EBITDA de-grew by 5% YOY, while consolidated PAT de-grew by 16% YOY. I am happy to inform you that we have been awarded first of its kind contract for Collection, Transportation, Processing, and Disposal of Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste in Mumbai City. This subsegment of waste offers huge opportunity considering the infrastructure growth across the country. Bagging this contract provides us with a head start along with building a strong track record for future bids. C&D materials consists of debris generated from the construction, renovation, and demolition/ redevelopment of buildings, roads, and bridges. We would use the Sustainable Material Recovery approach, which identifies specific C&D materials as commodities that can be re-used in new construction projects. Bio-mining activities at our Kanjurmarg integrated waste processing site progressed well during the quarter. Demand for our RDF has been strong due to its high calorific value, which has resulted in record RDF sales of 15,337 tonnes. Our Pimpri Chinchwad Waste to Energy Project is on track to commence operations in Q1 FY24. Our subsidiary Antony Lara Enviro Solutions Private Limited has been assessed and found to be in compliance with ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 certification requirements. The ISO 14001:2015 certificate demonstrates our commitments towards managing our environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability whereas ISO 9001:2015 certificate demonstrates the quality of management systems we follow as an organization. The award of these certificates is a proud moment for us and is a testimony of hard work put in by our employees. Our entire business, including the 360-degree recycling solutions, has a long-term strategic vision. In the future, we hope to win new contracts and provide quality services to the corporation. In the recent budget, the Government of India announced several initiatives aimed at Swachh Bharat as well as Greener India and we are placed in forefront to capitalize on these opportunities.”
