What’s driving Anant Raj stock price in weak trade on Sunday?

 

Anant Raj is a leading company in Real Estate and Data Centres. The company in its FY25 annual report said that the company operationalised 6 MW IT load data centre at Manesar, with an additional 15 MW at Manesar and 7 MW at Panchkula on track for completion. Total combined capacity at Manesar, Panchkula and Rai, Haryana, is proposed at 307 MW IT Load.

 

The Union Budget for 2026-27 emphasizes accelerating India’s Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) journey and strengthening the country’s data center infrastructure. This focus is timely and forward-looking. The Budget combines long-term tax incentives for cloud and data center investments with a broader push for digital infrastructure and innovation. It recognizes that high-quality computing capacity is now crucial to India’s growth, just like roads and power, according to Raju Vegesna, Chairman & Managing Director, Sify Technologies.

 

As a home-grown, AI-ready data center platform with a growing presence in India’s key digital hubs, we see these measures as a positive sign for sustained, cost-effective capacity creation. They also promote deeper partnerships with hyperscalers and faster cloud adoption by enterprises. 

 

These initiatives will allow us to continue investing in energy-efficient, high-density infrastructure that supports India’s AI workloads, protects data sovereignty, and helps global and domestic customers run their most demanding applications in India. Overall, the Budget supports a long-term, demand-driven vision for the country’s digital infrastructure sector, which aligns with our goal of building India’s trusted, large-scale colocation and AI infrastructure platform, said Raju Vegesna.

 

Meanwhile, in recent years, Anant Raj has diversified into data centre and cloud services, leveraging its existing technology parks and unmatched execution capabilities. The company has launched Ashok Cloud, a sovereign cloud platform designed to deliver secure, scalable, and enterprise-grade services for both public and private sector needs.

 

As India emerges as a global hub for data centre expansion, driven by rapid data consumption, adoption of cloud and digital technologies, and favourable regulatory reforms, Anant Raj is well-positioned to capitalise on the emerging opportunities, securing a distinct first-mover advantage. The company said they are evolving from a traditional colocation provider into a full-spectrum cloud services player, leveraging extensive land bank and deep execution capabilities, the company said in FY25 annual report.

 

India is experiencing exponential growth in data centres, driven by rising data consumption, cloud proliferation, and strong regulatory support. Further, technologies such as 5G rollout, Internet of Things (IoT) and AI are reshaping the industry, propelling demand for advanced solutions to address the evolving business needs.

 

The Digital India initiative, aimed at transforming India into a digitally empowered society, has led to the creation of large-scale data centres and cloud infrastructure. Despite generating nearly 20 per cent of the world’s data, India accounts for 3 per cent of global data centre capacity, underscoring a significant opportunity for growth. The government’s focus on data localisation and data protection policies requires the storage of sensitive data within the country’s borders, supporting data centre expansion, it added.
