Data Center Expansion and Proposed Demerger

Anant Raj entered the Data Center business in 2019, initially providing co-location services and subsequently expanding into Cloud Services, primarily Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). The company operationalised colocation services in FY2022-23 and Cloud Services in October 2024, and is empanelled with MeitY as a Sovereign Cloud Service Provider. As per the investor presentation, the company currently has an operational capacity of 28 MW IT Load, with 21 MW IT Load operationalised including Cloud Services at one facility and 7 MW IT Load operationalised including Cloud Services at each of two additional facilities. The company signed an MOU with the Government of Andhra Pradesh for setting up additional data center capacity of 50 MW IT Load — to be executed in two phases with an approximate direct investment of Rs. 4,500 crores by ARCPL — taking total planned data center capacity to 357 MW IT Load (a mix of colocation and cloud services). The company plans to invest approximately Rs. 20,000 crores to reach this total planned capacity, with a target to scale up to 357 MW IT Load by 2032. Incremental capacity of 35 MW IT Load at Manesar and Rai is planned to be operationalised in the next financial year along with Cloud Services.

The following table summarises the key data center capacity parameters:

Parameter: Details
Current Operational Capacity: 28 MW IT Load
Total Planned Capacity: 357 MW IT Load
AP Government MOU Capacity: 50 MW IT Load

Total Planned Investment: Rs. 20,000 Crores
Capacity Scale-Up Target Year: 2032
Next Year Incremental Capacity (Manesar & Rai): 35 MW IT Load

Recognising that Real Estate Development and Data Center Services differ significantly in their nature, risk profile, competitive dynamics, and capital requirements, the Board resolved to constitute a committee to evaluate a potential merger or demerger of these two businesses. The committee comprises the following initial members:

  • Sh. Amit Sarin — Managing Director
  • Sh. Ashim Sarin — Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer
  • Sh. Manoj Goyal — Chief Business Officer
  • Sh. Pankaj Kumar Gupta — Chief Financial Officer

The committee is mandated to evaluate merger/demerger structures, options, and strategies, and to recommend a final proposal or scheme to the Board. The stated objectives of such a restructuring include enabling greater operational efficiency and management focus, facilitating independent strategies for growth and capital allocation, unlocking and enhancing shareholder value, and allowing investors to directly participate in their preferred business segment.

Real Estate Business and Land Reserves

On the real estate front, Anant Raj's flagship residential township in Sector 63A, Gurugram, encompasses multiple project offerings. The Estate Apartments, launched in Q1 FY26 with a total area of 0.40 msf, has an estimated revenue of Rs. 750 crores, with construction, development, and marketing underway.
