Antony Waste Handling Secures ₹3,200 Crore Waste-to-Energy Projects in AP

Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited (AWHCL), an integrated solid waste management company, announced that its material subsidiary, Antony Lara Enviro Solutions Private Limited, has been awarded two significant ~15 MW Waste-to-Energy (WTE) projects in Andhra Pradesh by the New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Ltd. The combined project value is approximately ₹3,200 crore.

Each project will have a construction period of around 24 months from the date of the concession agreement signing, Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) execution, or land transfer, whichever is later. The concession period will last 20 years, during which the Andhra Pradesh Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (APSPDCL) — serving the Kurnool and YSR Kadapa regions — will purchase the generated power at ₹8.10 per unit.

The facilities will include an advanced Material Recovery Facility (MRF) for processing mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) before energy conversion. Automated sorting and separation technologies will recover recyclables, extract organic fractions for treatment, and process inorganic, non-recyclable residues into feedstock for the WTE plants. This feedstock will be thermally treated in high-efficiency incineration units to generate renewable electricity.

With high throughput capacity, the plants will divert thousands of tonnes of waste from landfills daily, cut methane and CO₂ emissions, and contribute to India’s renewable energy capacity targets and the Swachh Bharat Mission. Once operational, AWHCL’s clean energy portfolio will expand to approximately 44 MW, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable waste management.

This marks Antony Group’s significant entry into Southern India, broadening its geographical footprint and capabilities in waste processing in line with its strategic growth objectives.

Jose Jacob, Chairman & Managing Director, AWHCL, stated, “We are honored to be selected by the Andhra Pradesh Government for these landmark WTE projects, underscoring our proven technical expertise, execution strength, and deep commitment to sustainability. By converting waste into renewable energy, we address critical environmental and energy challenges while supporting Andhra Pradesh’s vision for a greener future. These projects will expand our renewable energy footprint, diversify revenue streams, and create long-term stakeholder value — cementing our role in India’s clean energy transition.”
