Anant Raj Limited-$

Anant Raj Ltd has responded to a query from the stock exchange regarding an increase in trading volume. The company stated that it adheres to all SEBI listing regulations and has disclosed all material information. As of the current date, there is no undisclosed price-sensitive information that could explain the volume surge. The company believes the movement in its scrip's volume is attributable to market, industry, or external factors.

Anant Raj Ltd announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Board of Directors approved the standalone and consolidated financial results along with the limited review reports. The results are available on the company's website and stock exchange websites. The meeting commenced at 2:30 PM and concluded at a later time. The company has provided the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, alongside comparative periods.

Anant Raj Ltd has submitted its Monitoring Agency Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, concerning the utilization of proceeds from its Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The report, prepared by Infomerics Valuation and Rating Limited, confirms no deviation from the objects for which the QIP funds, amounting to ₹1100.00 crore, were earmarked. The report will be available on the company's website. This filing adheres to SEBI regulations for disclosure.

Anant Raj's consolidated revenue came in at ₹631.40 Cr, up 6.6% YoY but down 2.4% QoQ, while consolidated PAT rose 18.5% YoY (and a flat +0.3% QoQ) to ₹149.19 Cr, with basic EPS of ₹4.16 versus ₹3.67 a year ago. Neither the current nor comparable quarters carry exceptional items, so this is a clean, comparable print — profitability outgrew revenue on a YoY basis. The margin story is the driver: operating margin expanded to 29.0% from 25.4% YoY and 25.9% QoQ (~360bps), and net margin rose to 22.9% from 20.9% YoY, even as depreciation nearly doubled to ₹16.21 Cr (from ₹7.89 Cr YoY) as new data-center capacity came online. Finance costs fell to ₹1.20 Cr (from ₹2.37 Cr YoY, ₹3.80 Cr QoQ), aided by the QIP-funded deleveraging. Working against this, the effective tax rate climbed to 21.1% of PBT versus 14.5% QoQ and 17.1% YoY, so pre-associates profit grew only 17.2% YoY despite PBT growing 23.2%; a ₹3.06 Cr contribution from associates/JVs (versus ₹1.25 Cr YoY and a ₹1.18 Cr loss last quarter) helped lift final PAT growth back to 18.5%. No consensus PAT estimate for this specific quarter turned up in search; the closest available brokerage color (Motilal Oswal) had flagged margin risk from new data-center capacity ramping up and weighing on near-term profitability — this quarter's margin expansion runs counter to that caution, though it isn't a hard beat/miss against a numeric estimate. Management gave no formal topline guidance for the quarter; the standing markers from the last call — 63MW data-center capacity by December 2026, 117MW by FY28, and a ~75% EBITDA margin target specific to the Data Center segment — are not independently verifiable here since the company discloses only one reportable segment (Real Estate Development) with no segment-wise P&L split. Post-quarter, on July 21, 2026, the board approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement to demerge the Data Centre and Cloud Services undertaking into Ashok Cloud Private Limited for a planned separate listing, with existing shareholders to hold 49% directly — no impact on this quarter's numbers, but it formalizes the AI/cloud growth push flagged on the prior call. The company also incorporated Anant Raj Cloud Singapore Pte Ltd as an overseas reseller/co-location arm and took Romano Projects to 100% ownership. On the balance sheet, ₹6.50 Cr of NCDs were converted into an SBI term loan rather than eliminated — still debt, so the 'zero-debt' framing from the last call is not yet literally true even as leverage stays low; QIP utilisation reached ₹410 Cr of the ₹1,099.99 Cr raised, with ₹689.99 Cr still unutilised for the data-center/cloud buildout.

Anant Raj Limited's Board of Directors has approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement to demerge its data centre and cloud services business into a new, independently listed entity, Ashok Cloud Private Limited. The existing Anant Raj Limited will continue to focus on its core real estate and infrastructure development. This strategic restructuring aims to provide focused growth strategies for each business, enhance operational efficiency, unlock shareholder value, and allow for independent market recognition and investment in the rapidly growing digital infrastructure sector. The scheme will be approved by the NCLT under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013.
