Anant Raj to Invest Rs 20,000 Cr in Haryana Data Centers

New Delhi, Jun 1 (PTI) Realty firm Anant Raj Ltd has signed an agreement with the Haryana government to invest Rs 20,000 crore for the development of data centre infrastructure in the state.

In a statement on Monday, the company said it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Haryana government to invest Rs 20,000 crore in the development of large-scale data centre infrastructure across the state.

Anant Raj currently operates 28 MW of IT load across its campuses in Manesar and Panchkula and is expanding its data centre footprint across Haryana. It aims to achieve a total capacity of 307 MW by 2031-32 across Manesar, Panchkula and Rai, supported by a planned capital expenditure of about USD 2.1 billion.

The proposed investment is over and above the company's existing and ongoing data centre expansion plans.

The MoU was signed during the launch of the 'Make in Haryana Policy' and other sectoral policies organised by the Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Haryana.


The event was chaired by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in the presence of Rao Narbir Singh, the Minister of Industries & Commerce, Environment, Forests & Wildlife, Haryana.

"The proposed investment will support the development of state-of-the-art data centres and digital infrastructure, further strengthening Haryana's position as a leading destination for technology-led investments and digital innovation," Anaant Raj said.

The investment is aimed at supporting the growing demand for data storage, cloud services and digital connectivity.

In November last year, the company signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh government for the development of new data centre facilities and an IT park in the state.

Under this MoU, Anant Raj Cloud Pvt Ltd (ARCPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Anant Raj Limited, will invest about Rs 4,500 crore, to be executed in two phases, towards building advanced data centre infrastructure and cloud services.
