Anant Raj to spin off data centre business into separate company

The rationale, according to Anant Raj, is that the data centre business "has evolved significantly over the years and is well poised to chart its own growth path and operate as a separate listed entity". The company added that the structure will let it "leverage Anant Raj Ltd's institutional strengths, strong brand equity and goodwill" – though it did not elaborate on what form that support would take post-demerger.

Anant Raj posted a profit of Rs 557.02 crore for the financial year 2025-26, up from Rs 425.82 crore the previous year. Total income rose to Rs 2,579.08 crore from Rs 2,100.28 crore, reflecting growth across both segments. The company did not provide a separate revenue breakdown for the data centre arm.

The real estate developer has projects in Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Its data centre business has expanded in recent years as Indian cloud adoption picked up, though the segment still accounts for a smaller share of total revenue than property sales.

Completion of the demerger is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, including from the National Company Law Tribunal. No timeline was given for when the new entity might begin trading.
