“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

environmental pillar of sustainability whereas ISO 9001:2015 certificate demonstrates the quality of management systems

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
