Annual Financial Performance Highlights
For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, Anant Raj Limited achieved a consolidated revenue from operations of ₹2,511.60 crore, compared to ₹2,059.97 crore in the previous year. The consolidated net profit for the year rose to ₹557.02 crore, a significant increase from ₹425.82 crore recorded in FY25. This performance reflects the company’s strong operational execution across its core segments.
Strategic Restructuring: Real Estate and Data Centers
The Board has identified that the company’s two primary business undertakings—Real Estate Development and Data Center Services—operate under distinct risk profiles and capital requirements. To better reflect the intrinsic value of each segment and enhance shareholder returns, the company is moving forward with a strategic merger/demerger process. A committee, including the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, has been constituted to evaluate the best structural options for this segregation.
Data Center Business Expansion
Anant Raj Limited is aggressively scaling its Data Center footprint. The company has signed an MOU with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to set up an additional capacity of 50 MW IT Load. With this development, the company’s total planned Data Center capacity is set to reach 357 MW IT Load. The firm is committing a substantial investment of ₹20,000 crore to realize this growth, further solidifying its position in the sovereign cloud and colocation service markets.

The Board of Directors has appointed Sh. Anish Sarin as an Additional Director and Whole-time Director, effective May 11, 2026, subject to shareholder approval. Additionally, the Board has proposed a final dividend of 50%, equating to Re. 1 per equity share, to reward shareholders for the strong fiscal performance.
