Anant Raj Board approves demerger of Data Centre & Cloud Services business
Anant Raj Ltd has received board approval to demerge its Data Centre and Cloud Services business into a new, independently listed entity called Ashok Cloud Pvt. Ltd. This restructuring aims to allow both the real estate and digital infrastructure arms to pursue independent growth strategies.
Why it matters
Corporate demergers often signal a strategic shift to unlock shareholder value in high-growth sectors like cloud computing.
The board of Anant Raj Ltd (ARL), a real estate and infrastructure developer, on Tuesday (July 21, 2026) approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement to create two focused listed companies by separating the Group’s Data Centre & Cloud Services business from its core real estate and infrastructure business.
Under the proposed arrangement, Anant Raj will first consolidate all its data centre and cloud operations under one entity before carving them out into Ashok Cloud Pvt. Ltd, a dedicated digital infrastructure and cloud services company that will be listed independently.
Upon the Scheme becoming effective, eligible shareholders of Anant Raj Ltd. will receive one fully paid-up equity share of face value of ₹2 each in Ashok Cloud Private Ltd for every one fully paid-up equity share of face value of ₹2 each held in Anant Raj Ltd.
