Antony Waste Acquires 26% Stake in Arts EV for ₹26,000
Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited will acquire a 26% stake in Arts EV Private Limited for ₹26,000. Arts EV will manage up to 800 electric buses in Delhi under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme. AWHCL will provide hygiene services, while Antony Road Transport handles operations. The acquisition is expected within 2 months.
The acquisition is a strategic step into a new business vertical, but the initial investment is relatively small (₹26,000) and Arts EV is a newly incorporated entity. The full impact will depend on the successful operation of the electric bus project.
The acquisition represents a strategic move into the growing electric mobility sector, leveraging the company's existing hygiene services expertise. This diversification is expected to open new revenue streams and align with government initiatives.
Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited (AWHCL) has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) and Shareholders’ Agreement (SHA), both dated July 28, 2026, to acquire a 26% stake in Arts EV Private Limited. This acquisition is from Antony Road Transport Solutions Private Limited, an entity within AWHCL's Promoter Group.
Arts EV is a special purpose vehicle established to manage the procurement, operation, and maintenance of up to 800 electric buses in Delhi under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme. This scheme was awarded to a consortium comprising AWHCL and Antony Road Transport.
The acquisition aligns with AWHCL's strategy to explore scalable, adjacent non-municipal business verticals, particularly in the mobility and transportation sector. The company identified passenger bus hygiene, sanitation, and cleaning services as a high-potential segment driven by increasing privatization, electrification, and fleet modernization in India's public transport.
Under the agreement, Antony Road Transport will hold a 74% stake as the Lead Member, responsible for business development, fleet procurement, financing, and operational management. AWHCL, as the Strategic Member holding 26%, will focus on providing bus cleaning, sanitation, and allied hygiene management services through its 'Click2Clean' offering.
The transaction is classified as a related party transaction and will be conducted on an arm's length basis. Arts EV was incorporated on June 16, 2026, with an authorized share capital of ₹15,00,000 and paid-up share capital of ₹1,00,000. The acquisition involves 2,600 equity shares of ₹10 each, for a total consideration of ₹26,000, making Arts EV an associate company of AWHCL. The acquisition is expected to be completed within 2 months and does not require any governmental or regulatory approvals.
