Anant Raj subsidiary, Anant Raj Cloud, is set to transform Andhra Pradesh’s digital landscape with a massive investment of ₹4,500 crore. The initiative, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB), marks a significant step towards building advanced data center facilities and an IT park in the eastern coastal state.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Nara Lokesh, Minister for IT, Electronics and Communications, Government of Andhra Pradesh, signaling strong government backing for the project. The planned development will be executed in two phases, focusing on state-of-the-art data center infrastructure and cloud services.
The investment is expected to generate around 8,500 direct jobs and 7,500 indirect jobs, strengthening the local economy while enhancing the region’s digital capabilities. This project is over and above Anant Raj Cloud’s existing 307 MW data center capacity currently under development across its Manesar, Panchkula, and Rai campuses.
Currently, Anant Raj Limited operates 28 MW of IT load across its campuses, with a roadmap to expand the total capacity to 307 MW by 2031-32, backed by a USD 2.1 billion capex plan. The company is also collaborating with Orange Business, the French IT and telecom services provider, to deliver managed cloud services in India, reinforcing its position in the digital infrastructure sector.
The project reflects Anant Raj Cloud’s ambition to accelerate the creation of world-class digital infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh, with APEDB facilitating timely execution and coordination with relevant government bodies. The expansion is expected to not only boost IT services but also strengthen the overall digital ecosystem of the state.
Established in 1969, Anant Raj began as a real estate company. In the first half of 2025-26, it reported revenue of ₹1,223.20 crore and PAT of ₹264.08 crore, underlining its robust growth trajectory as it diversifies into IT and cloud services.
