Anant Raj Limited has reported strong financial growth for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The company announced a final dividend of 50% (Re. 1 per share) and a strategic board decision to demerge its real estate and data center businesses to unlock shareholder value. Additionally, the company is committing Rs. 20,000 crore to significantly expand its data center capacity to 357 MW IT Load.
Strong Financial Performance for FY 2025-26
For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, Anant Raj Limited delivered robust results. The company reported a total consolidated income of Rs. 2,579.08 crore, compared to Rs. 2,100.28 crore in the previous year. Profit after tax for the year rose to Rs. 557.02 crore, a significant increase from Rs. 425.82 crore in FY 2024-25. These results underscore the company’s sustained growth trajectory across its business segments.
Strategic Business Demerger
In a major long-term move, the Board of Directors has initiated a formal process to segregate its two distinct businesses: Real Estate Development and Data Center Services. The company noted that these segments operate with different risk profiles and capital requirements. A dedicated committee, comprising top management including the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, has been formed to evaluate the optimal structure for this demerger, aimed at unlocking intrinsic value and enhancing shareholder returns.
Data Center Expansion Plans
The company continues to aggressively scale its data center footprint. With the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Andhra Pradesh, Anant Raj is adding 50 MW to its IT Load capacity. This forms part of a broader vision to reach a total capacity of 357 MW IT Load. The company has earmarked an investment of approximately Rs. 20,000 crore to achieve these ambitious growth targets, positioning itself as a leader in India’s digital infrastructure space.
Dividend and Leadership Updates
The Board has recommended a final dividend of 50%, amounting to Re. 1 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. Furthermore, the company has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Sh. Anish Sarin as an Additional Director and Whole-time Director, effective May 11, 2026, to assist in overseeing the company’s technology-driven transformation.
