Mr. Amit Sarin, Managing Director, Anant Raj Limited

The Indian data center sector is growing, driven by strong government support and the demands of the IT sector, global capability centers (GCC), and the expanding digital economy, including social media, e-commerce, digital transactions, online gaming, and streaming services. This surge presents significant investment opportunities for businesses providing top-tier data center infrastructure and services.

Recognizing this potential, we plan to invest over Rs. 10,000 crores to develop a 307-megawatt data center across three locations: Manesar, Rai, and Panchkula. The buildings are ready for a 157 MW capacity campus, with the remainder to be developed as greenfield projects. The initial capacity is already operational, and the next phase will be operational in the coming days.

Our future plans in this segment include forming strategic partnerships, leveraging technological advancements, and expanding into emerging markets to capitalize on the growing demand for data. Once our entire planned capacity is fully operational, we will hold a significant market share in this segment.
