Context: Anant Raj's data-centre footprint
In June 2026, Anant Raj Ltd signed an MoU with the Haryana government under the Make in Haryana initiative. The company committed ₹25,000 crore to data-centre infrastructure across the state.
Through group entities, Anant Raj has committed to developing around 307 MW of IT load across its Manesar, Panchkula and Rai campuses. According to the reporting, the company operates data-centre facilities at Manesar and Panchkula, where capacity expansion is underway. The Rai campus in Sonipat has potential capacity of around 200 MW of IT load. Further investment is planned in phases, subject to demand, commercial viability and regulatory approvals.
Why Haryana, according to the companies and reporting
The reporting cites Haryana's infrastructure, its policy incentives and its proximity to major business markets. It also refers to Haryana's Data Centre Policy 2026, which offers incentives intended to support data-centre investment. The companies said India's capital and operating costs are relatively competitive, which could help attract overseas data workloads. The reporting says Gurugram and other emerging locations are attracting investment in data centres and technology infrastructure.

He said the company's focus is to build data-centre capacity and an ecosystem that serves customers beyond India. The reporting says overseas data workloads could add another dimension to Haryana's data-centre ecosystem.
