One company currently under investors' focus is Anant Raj.

So, what's charging up the stock?

Data Centre Tax Incentive

The stock of Anant Raj came in focus after media reports claimed the government is considering a 20-year tax exemption for data centre developers, provided they meet their targets on capacity, energy efficiency, and job creation.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology plans to ask the Ministry of Finance to allow data centre developers to claim input tax credit on GST paid for capital assets, including data centre construction, HVAC, cooling systems, and electrical equipment.

This will help create new jobs and boost domestic capacity in advanced technologies like AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity, in both metro cities and smaller towns.

If implemented, this policy could be a game-changer for India's digital infrastructure sector.

What Next?

Moving forward, Anant Raj has added 22 MW of IT capacity to its data centre in Haryana, increasing its total data centre capacity to 28 MW.

The company aims to scale up its data centre business, targeting Rs 12 billion (bn) in revenue by FY27. It also plans to increase its capacity to 63 MW by FY27 and 307 MW by FY32.

Anant Raj focuses on scalable, sustainable, and efficient data centre services to meet growing demand from cloud computing, AI, and digital services, positioning itself as an important player in India's digital economy.

By March 2026, Anant Raj aims to have its three main data centre locations - Manesar, Panchkula, and Rai - fully operational.

The management has clearly stated its priority lies with data centres and cloud services as growth engines. In the coming years, Anant Raj aims to diversify into the platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) businesses.
