Under the new MoU, Anant Raj Cloud Singapore will promote Haryana as a preferred global hub for data centres, cloud and AI infrastructure. It will undertake global marketing of Ashok Cloud, Anant Raj’s cloud platform, and data centre services hosted in Haryana, while facilitating the onboarding of overseas customers looking to host their data in the state.

“This MoU marks an important step in taking Haryana’s digital infrastructure capabilities to a wider global market. Our focus is not only on building data centre capacity in the state but also on creating an ecosystem that can serve customers beyond India. With Ashok Cloud, our expanding data centre footprint and the support of Orange Business, we see a strong opportunity to bring global data workloads to Haryana and strengthen the state’s position in the digital infrastructure landscape,” said Amit Sarin, Managing Director, Anant Raj Limited.

The collaboration also reaffirms Anant Raj Limited’s commitment to investments in data centre and cloud services in Haryana. The company, through its group entities, has committed to developing approximately 307 MW of IT Load across its Manesar, Panchkula and Rai campuses, with further investments planned in phases based on demand, commercial viability and requisite approvals.

The Government of Haryana has also introduced a dedicated Data Centre Policy 2026, offering a range of incentives to support the development of data centre infrastructure in the state. At the national level, India offers a competitive cost environment, with relatively lower Capex and Opex (Capital and operating costs), further strengthening its proposition for attracting global data workloads.

Orange Business will explore opportunities to work as a technology partner for the establishment of data centres and support cloud services, including those designed for AI workloads and high-performance computing.

Its role will include providing technology architecture, cloud and AI hardware and technical expertise, while also supporting Anant Raj Cloud Singapore’s go-to-market initiatives in international markets.

“As a technology partner, we bring expertise in cloud architecture, AI infrastructure and managed digital services to support the development of secure and AI-ready environments. This collaboration can serve both Indian and global customers,” said Christophe OZER - Head of Digital Infrastructure & Partners APAC, from Orange Business.

Anant Raj Limited currently operates data centre facilities at its Manesar and Panchkula campuses, with capacity expansion underway. The company is working towards its planned capacity of approximately 307 MW IT Load across Manesar, Panchkula and Rai, with the Rai campus in Sonipat having potential capacity of around 200 MW IT Load.
