Anant Raj Commits Rs. 25,000 Cr. Investment for Data Centre Infra. in Haryana
Anant Raj Limited, one of India’s leading real estate developers, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Centre (HEPC), Government of Haryana, for investment in data centre and cloud services infrastructure in the state. According to the company’s official press release, Anant Raj has committed an investment of Rs. 25,000 crore towards this initiative.
Large-Scale Data Centre and Cloud Infrastructure Planned in Haryana
As per Anant Raj, the agreement covers the development of a large-scale data centre and cloud services infrastructure across Haryana. The investment is targeted at supporting the growing demand for data storage, cloud computing services, and digital connectivity in the state.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Haryana Government, through HEPC, will provide facilitation to ensure the successful implementation of the data centre projects.
This initiative is expected to generate approximately 6,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities in the state.
Anant Raj’s Broader Data Centre Expansion Strategy
Anant Raj is among the major companies investing in data centre infrastructure in India. In addition to the Haryana MoU, the company had signed another MoU with the Andhra Pradesh Government in November 2025 for the development of new data centre facilities and an IT Park in the state.
Under the November 2025 agreement, Anant Raj Cloud Private Limited (ARCPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Anant Raj, will invest approximately Rs. 4,500 crore towards the development of advanced data centre infrastructure and cloud services in Andhra Pradesh. The investment will be executed in two phases.
Notably, both the Haryana and Andhra Pradesh projects are expected to contribute towards Anant Raj’s target of achieving 117 MW of IT load capacity by FY28. At present, the company operates an IT load capacity of 28 MW.
Growing Need for Domestic Data Centre Capacity in India
Both of the aforementioned data centre projects are significant as they address India’s widening gap between data generation and local hosting capacity. According to a report published by Press Insider on 30th January 2026, India generates nearly 20 percent of the world’s data but hosts only about 3 percent of global data centre capacity.
The report further stated that, driven by rising data consumption, rapid cloud adoption, and increasing deployment of artificial intelligence technologies, India’s data centre capacity is projected to reach approximately 8 GW by 2030. This capacity stood at 1.4 GW in Q2 of FY25.
By expanding its capacity from the current 28 MW towards the targeted 117 MW by FY28, Anant Raj Ltd. supports some of the objectives of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023. This act requires sensitive personal and financial data to be stored and managed within India.
