Shares of real estate developer Anant Raj Limited rose nearly 3 percent on Thursday after the company reported an increase in its net profit for the third quarter of FY26, reflecting improving operating performance alongside a strong project pipeline. The stock gained as much as 2.77 percent to ₹535.32 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) during early trade.
Anant Raj Limited currently has a market capitalisation of ₹19,334.5 crore on the NSE. Trading activity remained healthy, with around 0.44 million shares exchanged in early hours. While the stock pared some gains later in the session, the Q3 performance underscored the company’s focus on disciplined execution and long-term growth across its core real estate business and emerging digital infrastructure vertical.
On the real estate front, Anant Raj continues to strengthen its residential portfolio in key NCR micro-markets. The company plans to launch a luxury high-rise residential project, “The Estate One,” spanning approximately 1.09 million square feet on Golf Course Extension Road, Gurugram, in the fourth quarter of FY26. In addition, Project Navya, a 50:50 joint venture with Birla Estate, is set to begin Phase 2 deliveries in Q4 FY26, with the Occupancy Certificate already received.
Further expansion is planned at Anant Raj Estate township, where approvals are expected for an additional 9.11 acres in Q4 FY26. This expansion is expected to deepen the company’s presence in integrated township development and support steady residential supply over the medium term.
Alongside real estate, Anant Raj is scaling up its digital infrastructure platform through its cloud and data centre arm. During the quarter, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to set up 50 MW IT load data centre capacity, marking a key step in its geographic expansion beyond NCR.
With this addition, Anant Raj’s total planned data centre capacity will reach 357 MW IT load, positioning the company as a growing player in India’s data centre and cloud services ecosystem. Expansion of Ashok Cloud services at Manesar and Panchkula is at an advanced stage and is expected to become operational in Q4 FY26.
With parallel growth engines in residential real estate and digital infrastructure, Anant Raj continues to pursue a diversified strategy focused on long-term value creation, capital efficiency, and alignment with India’s evolving urban and digital economy.
