News: Anant Raj to Invest Rs 20,000 Crore in Haryana Data Centres-02-06-2026
Anant Raj Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Haryana to invest Rs 20,000 crore in large-scale data centre infrastructure across the state, the company said in a statement on June 1.
The MoU was signed at an event marking the launch of the Make in Haryana Policy and other sectoral policies, organised by the Department of Industries & Commerce. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini chaired the event, with Rao Narbir Singh, Minister of Industries & Commerce, Environment, Forests and Wildlife, present.
According to the company, the project is expected to create about 6,000 direct and indirect jobs, contribute to the state’s digital economy and help meet growing demand for data storage, cloud services and digital connectivity. It said the investment is in line with the Make in Haryana Policy, which seeks to draw investment into emerging sectors and speed up industrial and technological growth.
The diversified infrastructure and real estate company currently operates 28 MW of IT load at its Manesar and Panchkula campuses. It aims for a total capacity of 307 MW by 2031-32 across Manesar, Panchkula and Rai, backed by planned capital expenditure of about $2.1 billion. The proposed Rs 20,000 crore is over and above these existing and ongoing expansion plans.
Anant Raj said the state continues to build a conducive environment for investment in data centres, information technology and advanced infrastructure through initiatives led by the Haryana State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) and the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Centre (HEPC).
In November last year, the company signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh government for new data centre facilities and an IT Park. Under it, wholly owned subsidiary Anant Raj Cloud Private Limited (ARCPL) will invest approximately Rs 4,500 crore in two phases in data centre infrastructure and cloud services.
