The planned investment will focus on expanding large-scale data centre facilities and cloud services capabilities, areas that are witnessing rapid growth due to increasing demand for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, digital transformation, and data storage solutions. The project is expected to significantly strengthen Haryana’s position as a key digital infrastructure hub in northern India.

According to company disclosures, the investment is expected to generate nearly 6,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities. The initiative will also support the expansion of Anant Raj’s digital infrastructure business, which has become a major growth area alongside its traditional real estate operations.

Anant Raj currently operates data centre facilities in Manesar and Panchkula and is pursuing an aggressive expansion strategy across Haryana. The company aims to substantially increase its data centre capacity over the coming years through investments in Manesar, Rai, and Panchkula, supported by large-scale capital expenditure plans.

The announcement reflects the broader growth of India’s data centre market, which is being driven by rising internet usage, cloud adoption, artificial intelligence applications, and increasing localisation of data storage requirements. Industry estimates project strong long-term growth for the sector, prompting major investments from real estate developers, technology firms, and infrastructure companies.
