Antony Waste Handling Shares Update on Merger with AG Enviro Infra
Mumbai, June 9, 2025 — Antony Waste Handling Cell Ltd (BSE: 543254), a leading integrated solid waste management company, has made an announcement about its current Scheme of Merger by Absorption with AG Enviro Infra Projects Private Limited. This move is geared towards consolidation of operations, enhancing cost savings, and enhancing the company’s position within India’s increasing waste management industry.
In a filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the company had confirmed the development of the proposed merger, which was announced in the first place to enhance synergies between Antony Waste and AG Enviro Infra. Both entities are leading players in the urban waste management sector. The company filed a formal communication specifying the status of the scheme and reiterating its efforts towards a smooth integration process.
Strategic Rationale Behind the Merger
The absorption merger of AG Enviro Infra Projects into Antony Waste Handling has the aim of streamlining operational processes and removing redundancies for both companies. With urbanization gathering pace and municipal needs growing, waste management businesses are looking to grow efficiently and sustainably.
AG Enviro, which is owned fully, has been a key player in municipal solid waste collection and transportation services in urban cities. By acquiring AG Enviro, Antony Waste Handling hopes to combine financials, have an easier time reporting, and improve stakeholder confidence by having one operational front.

Regulatory and Stakeholder Communication
According to the June 9, 2025 filing, Antony Waste Handling Cell Ltd. was clear in its transparency during the entire merger process. In the filing, it has ensured shareholders and stakeholders that all procedural formalities — regulatory approvals, tax implications, and due diligence — are being adhered to strictly.
Although the update did not specify a timeframe for final shutdown, it indicates that the work is advancing as expected.
Market and Industry Outlook
India’s waste management sector has seen a revolution over the last decade, pushed by Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and growing urban investment in sanitation infrastructure. The consolidation positions Antony Waste Handling better to capitalize on government-driven smart city projects, public-private partnerships, and high-value municipal tenders.
Industry observers see the merger as a strategic consolidation in an industry that is slowly formalizing and capitalizing. Consolidation is particularly important in Tier I and Tier II cities where mixed waste streams need to be handled in a composite manner — a sector where Antony Waste is well-positioned to take the lead.
