Shares of Anant Raj rose by more than 3% in early trading on Wednesday after the company unveiled plans for a strategic demerger. The stock hit a new high for 2026 after investors welcomed the firm’s move to demerge its real estate business from the data centers and cloud business. The demerger will result in creation of two independent listed companies which will be able to pursue their own growth plans.
Anant Raj Approves Demerger of Cloud and Real Estate Businesses
The Board of Directors of Anant Raj Ltd has decided on a Composite Scheme of Arrangement that aims at restructuring the company’s business operations. According to the scheme, Anant Raj Ltd will split its fast-growing data center and cloud business from its real estate business.
In line with the restructuring strategy, the company will combine its data center and cloud business into one and demerge it into a new company called Ashok Cloud Pvt Ltd. The new business will be separately listed after obtaining necessary approvals.
The company said that the decision would allow both the businesses to grow independently as per their own strategies and investors would get visibility in both business segments.
Anant Raj made an equity subscription worth ₹74.86 crore in its subsidiary Ashok Cloud Pvt Ltd on July 21, 2026. In addition, Anant Raj Cloud Pvt Ltd will be merged into Anant Raj Ltd before the demerger of the business.
Separate Growth Opportunities for Real Estate and Cloud Businesses
Following the restructure, Anant Raj Ltd will remain committed to their business in real estate and infrastructure. They have various properties including residential townships, high-end housing complexes, commercial buildings and hospitality structures in various markets.
On the other hand, Ashok Cloud Pvt Ltd will function as an independent digital infrastructure company. This firm will be involved in the provision of data center, co-location, sovereign public cloud, artificial intelligence ready cloud infrastructure, disaster recovery, cloud migrations, and data backup services.
The separation is set to facilitate both firms to individually raise funds and pursue growth opportunities in their specific industries.
