Key Positives

  1. Strong track record of project execution AWHCL has established track record of more than 19 years in executing solid waste projects. It primarily undertakes specialized MSW C&T projects, MSW Processing projects and mechanized sweeping projects for municipalities and private players. It has demonstrated track-record as a comprehensive service provider equipped with the resources to handle large-scale projects. The company carefully selects its projects by taking into consideration key factors such as the potential for project clustering and operational risks as well as financial strength of the counterparty and overall financial viability of the project. The company strives to cluster its projects geographically to improve efficiency and profitability. By leveraging the manpower and equipment that is setup at nearby sites, AWHCL tries to rationalize managerial costs and overheads, thus achieving economies of scale. AWHCL also believes that its strong track record has enabled it to bid for, and be awarded, large-scale projects by their customers. AWHCL operates one of the largest single location waste processing plants in Asia at Kanjurmarg, Mumbai which has processed >7.63 million metric tons since its inception in 2010 till November 15, 2020 (Frost & Sullivan Report).


  2. Diversified business model with revenue Amongst AWHCL’s portfolio of 18 ongoing projects as on November 15, 2020, 12 are MSW C&T projects, two are MSW processing project and four are mechanized sweeping projects. Its project portfolio is diversified across services provided, counterparties, project duration, nature of contracts and geographical areas where AWHCL operates. As per the RHP, the average duration of the on ongoing MSW C&T projects, Mechanized Sweeping projects and MSW Processing projects including the extensions which have already been provided in the ordinary course of business is 7.7 years, 7 years and 23 years, respectively. The contracts entered across time periods have different tenures thus providing a staggered revenue stream. Further, As of November 15, 2020, 77.78% out of the current ongoing projects have an escalation clause embedded in the contracts with clients insulating the company from stress in margins in case cost increases.

Key Risk

  • Any decline in the budgetary allocation towards MSW projects will have a material adverse impact on AWHCL’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.


  • The COVID-19 pandemic, or any future pandemic or widespread public health emergency, could materially and adversely impact its business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
