Anant Raj Limited, a diversified infrastructure and real estate company with a growing presence in digital infrastructure and data center development, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of the northern Indian state of Haryana to invest ₹20,000 crore (~US$ 2.1 billion) in the development of large-scale data center infrastructure across the state.
This planned investment is over and above Anant Raj’s existing and ongoing data center expansion plans. Anant Raj currently operates 28 MW of IT load across its campuses in Manesar and Panchkula and is expanding its data center footprint across Haryana.
The MoU was signed during the launch of the Make in Haryana Policy in the presence of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, and other senior ministers and bureaucrats. The Make in Haryana policy aims to attract investments across emerging sectors and accelerate industrial and technological growth in the state. Initiatives led by the Haryana State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) and the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Centre (HEPC), aim to create a conducive ecosystem for investments in data centers, information technology and advanced infrastructure.
“The project is expected to generate approximately 6,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities while contributing significantly to the state’s digital economy and supporting the growing demand for data storage, cloud services and digital connectivity,” Anant Raj said in a press release.
Readers would recall that Anant Raj Ltd., a Delhi-based real estate developer, had first unveiled plans to enter the data center market in September 2023, by developing three IT facilities into data centers in Haryana. In June 2024, Anant Raj also partnered with Orange Business, the French IT and telecom services provider, to deliver managed cloud services in India. In July 2025, it further revealed plans to develop two more facilities in Haryana as it aims to develop 300 MW by 2032.
Anant Raj is also expanding in other parts of India. In November 2025, the company had signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh government for the development of new data center facilities and an IT Park in the state. Under this MoU, Anant Raj Cloud Private Limited (ARCPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Anant Raj Limited, will invest approximately ₹4,500 crore (~US$ 473 million), to be executed in two phases, towards building advanced data center infrastructure and cloud services. The Group remains on track to achieve an installed IT load capacity of around 117 MW by FY28 across its strategic data center locations.
