Anant Raj Board Approves Composite Scheme of Arrangement for Demerger and Merger
Anant Raj Limited's board approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement. This involves merging Anant Raj Cloud Private Limited into Anant Raj Limited, followed by demerging the Data Centre Business into Ashok Cloud Private Limited. The goal is to create two separate listed entities for real estate and data centers.
A merger and demerger is a significant corporate restructuring event that can fundamentally change the company's structure, operations, and market positioning, thus having a high impact.
The approval of a composite scheme of arrangement for merger and demerger is a strategic move aimed at unlocking value and creating focused entities, which is generally viewed positively by the market.
Anant Raj Limited announced that its Board of Directors has approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement involving the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anant Raj Cloud Private Limited (ARCPL), into Anant Raj Limited (ARL), and the subsequent demerger of ARL's Data Centre Business into another wholly-owned subsidiary, Ashok Cloud Private Limited (ACPL).
The merger of ARCPL into ARL is expected to be completed first, after which the Data Centre Business, including assets, liabilities, and operations of both ARL and ARCPL related to this vertical, will be demerged into ACPL. This strategic move aims to consolidate the Data Centre Business into a single, dedicated entity, allowing it to operate as a separate listed company and unlock its growth potential.
The rationale behind the demerger includes providing independent market recognition and valuation for the Data Centre Business, enabling ARL shareholders to directly participate in its future growth, streamlining operations, and attracting sector-specific resources. The scheme will result in two focused listed companies: one for real estate and another for Data Centre and Cloud Services.
The Composite Scheme is subject to approvals from shareholders, creditors, stock exchanges (BSE and NSE), SEBI, NCLT, and other regulatory authorities. The Board meeting where this was approved commenced at 4:30 PM and concluded at 6:15 PM on July 21, 2026.
