Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited has confirmed the tragic loss of nine employees following a natural calamity at a landfill adjacent to its Waste-to-Energy plant. The incident occurred on July 8, 2026, when incessant rains caused a massive collapse of thousands of tonnes of waste from the landfill onto the company's site. This resulted in severe damage to the administrative building, where 23 employees were present at the time.
Emergency response teams, including the NDRF, Indian Army, Fire Brigade, and local administration, were immediately deployed. Fourteen employees were rescued and are currently receiving medical treatment and counselling. The company has pledged comprehensive support for the affected employees and their families. This includes bearing all hospital, medical, and counselling expenses for the injured, as well as covering funeral and last-rites expenses.
Furthermore, Antony Waste will provide financial assistance of ₹25,00,000 (Rupees Twenty-Five Lakh Only) to each bereaved family. This assistance comprises ex-gratia support from the company and benefits from statutory welfare/insurance schemes and the company's group insurance policy. The company is also committed to offering employment to an immediate family member of each deceased employee where suitable and will cover the educational expenses for their minor children. A dedicated representative has been assigned to each affected family to manage medical care, documentation, insurance claims, and other formalities.
Operations at the Waste-to-Energy plant have been temporarily suspended for a structural and safety assessment, while municipal waste collection and transportation services remain unaffected.
