Anant Raj shares gained over 3% on Wednesday and touched a fresh 2026 high after the company announced a demerger. The restructuring will create two separately listed entities, allowing the real estate and cloud businesses to operate independently and pursue focused growth strategies while unlocking greater value for shareholders.
Anant Raj attracted attention in early trade on Wednesday after the company announced a major restructuring plan. The real estate developer has proposed separating its fast-growing data centre and cloud business from its core real estate operations.
The announcement received a positive response from investors. The stock gained more than 3% in early trade and touched its highest level of 2026 so far.
The company has approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement that will split the business into two focused listed companies.
As part of the process, the company will first consolidate all its data centre and cloud operations into a single entity. It will then demerge that business into Ashok Cloud Pvt Ltd, which will be listed separately after the required approvals.
The move will allow both businesses to operate independently and pursue their growth plans. It will also give investors a clearer picture of the value of each business.
The company also completed an equity subscription of ₹74.86 crore in its wholly-owned 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 is completed.
After the restructuring, Anant Raj Ltd will continue to focus on its real estate and infrastructure business. Its portfolio includes residential townships, luxury housing projects, commercial developments and hospitality assets.
Ashok Cloud Pvt Ltd will become a dedicated digital infrastructure company. It will provide data centre services, co-location facilities, sovereign public cloud solutions, AI-ready cloud infrastructure, disaster recovery services, cloud migration and data backup solutions.
Under the proposed scheme, eligible shareholders of Anant Raj Ltd will receive one fully paid equity share of Ashok Cloud Pvt Ltd with a face value of ₹2 for every one fully paid equity share of Anant Raj Ltd with a face value of ₹2 held on the record date.
The share price opened at ₹620.00 on Wednesday against the previous close of ₹608.85. This was 1.83% higher than the previous closing price. Buying interest strengthened further during the session, pushing the stock to an intraday high of ₹627.75. This represents a gain of 3.10% over the previous close.
The stock has also delivered healthy returns over a longer period. It is up more than 12% in 2026 so far and has gained over 9% in the last year.
Anant Raj is one of India's leading real estate and infrastructure developers. The company has a presence across Delhi, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and the National Capital Region.
Over the years, it has developed projects across residential, commercial, hospitality, industrial and IT park segments. With the proposed demerger, the company is now looking to build separate growth engines for its real estate and digital infrastructure businesses.
