Anant Raj Ltd has announced plans to invest around Rs 25,000 crore in Haryana to expand its data centre and cloud services business, marking one of the largest commitments in the state’s rapidly growing digital infrastructure sector. The investment follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Centre (HEPC), the state’s investment promotion agency.
The agreement was signed on June 1 during the launch of the “Make in Haryana Policy & Other Sectoral Policies” programme chaired by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. The MoU establishes a framework for cooperation between Anant Raj and various departments of the Haryana government to facilitate investments in data centre and cloud infrastructure projects across the state.
The proposed investment underscores Anant Raj’s growing focus on digital infrastructure, a business segment that is emerging as a key growth driver amid rising demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence applications, enterprise digital transformation and data storage solutions. The company said the investment will support the development of data centres and cloud operations in Haryana, strengthening the state’s position as a digital infrastructure hub.
As part of the partnership, the Haryana government has committed to providing facilitation support and ease of doing business assistance through HEPC and other relevant departments. The collaboration will involve agencies such as the Department of Information Technology, Electronics & Communication, Haryana State Electronics Development Corporation, Citizen Resource Information Department and the Department of Industries and Commerce.
India’s data centre industry is witnessing strong growth, driven by increasing internet usage, cloud adoption and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence workloads. Industry experts expect the country’s data storage and processing requirements to rise sharply over the next decade, creating significant opportunities for infrastructure developers.
For Anant Raj, the proposed Rs 25,000 crore investment represents a major step in diversifying beyond its traditional real estate business and establishing a stronger foothold in the fast-growing digital infrastructure ecosystem.
