Real estate developer Anant Raj Ltd has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Haryana government to invest INR 20,000 crore in the development of data centre infrastructure across the state. The agreement was signed in the past week during an event organised by the Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Haryana, aimed at promoting industrial and technology-led investments under the newly launched Make in Haryana Policy and other sectoral initiatives.
The proposed investment will be directed towards the development of large-scale data centres and associated digital infrastructure in Haryana. According to the company, the planned investment is separate from and in addition to its existing and ongoing data centre expansion programme within the state.
Anant Raj currently operates 28 MW of IT load across its data centre campuses in Manesar and Panchkula. The company has been expanding its digital infrastructure footprint in Haryana and has outlined plans to significantly increase capacity over the coming years. It aims to achieve a total data centre capacity of 307 MW across Manesar, Panchkula and Rai by 2031-32.
To support this expansion, the company has already planned capital expenditure of approximately USD 2.1 billion. The newly announced INR 20,000 crore commitment will supplement these efforts and contribute towards the creation of additional data centre facilities in the state.
The MoU was signed during the launch of the Make in Haryana Policy and related sectoral policies. The event was chaired by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and attended by Rao Narbir Singh, who also holds the portfolios of Environment, Forests and Wildlife in the state government.
In its statement, Anant Raj said the proposed investment would facilitate the development of advanced data centre facilities and digital infrastructure, helping strengthen Haryana’s position as a destination for technology-driven investments and digital innovation. The company added that the investment would address increasing demand for data storage capacity, cloud-based services and digital connectivity.
The announcement follows Anant Raj’s continued focus on digital infrastructure as a business vertical. In November last year, the company signed a separate MoU with the government of Andhra Pradesh for the development of new data centre facilities and an information technology park in the state.
Under that agreement, Anant Raj Cloud Pvt Ltd (ARCPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Anant Raj Ltd, committed an investment of approximately INR 4,500 crore. The investment is being implemented in two phases and is intended to support the development of advanced data centre infrastructure and cloud services, reflecting the company’s broader expansion strategy in India’s growing digital infrastructure sector.
