Anant Raj Board Approves FY26 Results, 50% Dividend, and Data Center Expansion
Anant Raj Limited approved FY26 audited results and recommended a 50% final dividend. The company is exploring a merger/demerger of its real estate and data center businesses. A new data center capacity of 50 MW IT Load is planned in Andhra Pradesh, requiring an investment of ₹20,000 crore. Consolidated revenue was ₹2,511.60 crore and PAT was ₹553.66 crore.
The proposed merger/demerger and the significant investment in data center expansion are transformative strategic decisions that will have a substantial long-term impact on the company's structure and growth.
The approval of financial results, recommendation of a dividend, strategic expansion into data centers, and exploration of a merger/demerger are all positive developments for the company.
Anant Raj Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on May 11, 2026, approved the Audited Financial Results (Standalone and Consolidated) for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The Board also recommended a final dividend of 50%, or Re. 1 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Further, the company announced significant strategic decisions, including the appointment of Sh. Anish Sarin as Additional Director designated as Whole-time Director, effective May 11, 2026. The Board also approved revisions to the Code of Practices and Procedures for Fair Disclosure of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information (UPSI) and increases in managerial remuneration limits for Sh. Amit Sarin, Sh. Aman Sarin, and Sh. Ashim Sarin, as well as commission payments to non-executive independent directors, all subject to shareholder approval.
In a major strategic move, the company is evaluating a merger or demerger of its distinct business undertakings: Real Estate Development and Data Center Services. This is driven by the differing nature, risk profiles, and capital requirements of these businesses, aiming to enhance operational efficiency, facilitate independent growth strategies, unlock shareholder value, and allow investors to participate in preferred business segments. A committee has been constituted to evaluate merger/demerger structures and recommend a final proposal to the Board.
The company also highlighted its strong entry and expansion into the Data Center Business since 2019, with plans to invest approximately ₹20,000 crore to reach a total planned capacity of 357 MW IT Load, including a new MOU with the Government of Andhra Pradesh for an additional 50 MW IT Load. The company's financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026, show consolidated revenue from operations at ₹2,511.60 crore and profit after tax at ₹553.66 crore. Standalone revenue from operations was ₹1,491.52 crore with profit after tax at ₹298.39 crore.
