In its latest financial disclosure submitted to the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE Limited, leading environmental services provider Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited (AWHCL) declared its audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. Coinciding with the company’s landmark 25th anniversary of corporate operations, the Board of Directors has recommended a maiden dividend of 10%, translating into a cash payout of Rs. 0.50 per equity share of face value Rs. 5.00 each.
Focusing on the terminal quarter of the fiscal year, AWHCL clocked a consolidated revenue from operations of Rs. 285.77 crore for Q4 FY26, highlighting a strong expansion of 17.76% year-on-year against the Rs. 242.66 crore posted in the corresponding fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year.
Total consolidated expenditure for the quarter came in at Rs. 229.00 crore, up from Rs. 210.00 crore in the sequential December period, reflecting expanding localized collection loops and fuel outlays. Operating profit for the final quarter reached a solid Rs. 57.00 crore, yielding a healthy operating profit margin (OPM) of 20%, showcasing strong pricing power and cost-indexing execution.
This operational surge was heavily driven by the stabilization of its circular economy assets, as total waste processed climbed by 23% year-on-year to 1.67 million tonnes for the quarter. Crucially, the company’s energy pivot reached full speed as its Pimpri-Chinchwad Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plant sustained a steady grid export of 11.5 MW of green electricity, transforming municipal refuse into a highly predictable, high-margin revenue stream.
On the profitability front, the profit before tax (PBT) for Q4 FY26 climbed to Rs. 31.00 crore, compared to Rs. 13.00 crore in the sequential December quarter, supported by a healthy balance sheet performance. Following a tax adjustment credit of 20%, the consolidated Net Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter settled at Rs. 37.00 crore, raising quarterly Earnings Per Share (EPS) to Rs. 11.46 per share.
This sequential bottom-line turnaround served as a key growth driver for the full-year financials, pushing annual consolidated sales up by 12.81% to a record milestone of Rs. 1,053.00 crore for FY26 compared to Rs. 934.00 crore in FY25.
To handle this massive scale, the company’s daily processing capacity expanded past an average of 15,500 tonnes per day (TPD), managed efficiently via an upgraded tech-enabled fleet of over 2,450 GPS-tracked collection vehicles.
The company’s long-term capital structure remains balanced, with total reserves climbing to Rs. 725.00 crore, while total long-term borrowings dropped to Rs. 459.00 crore from Rs. 505.00 crore in the previous fiscal period. Total assets for the enterprise stood at Rs. 1,739.00 crore as of March 31, 2026.
The macro visibility for the company is heavily secured by an astronomical unexecuted project order book milestone crossing Rs. 18,000 crore, supported by multi-decade processing concessions across critical industrial corridors, urban municipal nodes, and waste-to-energy projects in Pimpri-Chinchwad and Kanjurmarg.
Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited is one of the top five players in India’s municipal solid waste management industry, boasting a rich 20-year corporate track record. The company’s operations span mechanized street sweeping, scientific waste collection and transportation, modern waste-to-energy conversion infrastructure, and the construction, maintenance, and deployment of large integrated waste treatment complexes.
