Anant Raj Cloud Manesar is a data center project in Manesar, India, operated by Anant Raj Cloud. It is operational and expanding. It is planned for 50 MW of IT load. The operator reports 21 MW running.
Latest change on record: moved to expanding on 11 August 2026. Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.
This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.
Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How India approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in India.
NCR holds 12 active projects with 1,055 MW of planned IT load between them, and Anant Raj Cloud Manesar ranks 8th by planned capacity. Of those, 4 are operational, 2 are operational and expanding, 2 are under construction and 4 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in NCR was 44% as of June 2025. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
Anant Raj has 2 others in India tracked by ArusGrid, including Anant Raj Cloud Rai and Anant Raj Cloud Panchkula. It sits on the Anant Raj Manesar campus. Named funding comes from Anant Raj Limited on the equity side. The named user of the compute is BSNL (reported, unconfirmed).
The build is phased. Operational at 21 MW is operational; Balance of the 50MW building at 29 MW is under construction with a 2027 target. The dated record runs from under construction in March 2021 to operational and expanding on 11 August 2026.
The US export control position for advanced AI chips in India, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 13 public sources for this project, the latest dated 12 August 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Operator states liquid-cooled AI-ready halls via a Submer partnership and MeitY sovereign-cloud empanelment; no dated GPU deployment found.
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

No figure has been announced. This range is 50 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$6.64 per watt for Mumbai, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.
Benchmark: Turner & Townsend Data Centre Construction Cost Index 2025, as reported by Data Storage Asia. An estimate is never added to any total on the site.
Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.
ArusGrid estimate, grade C. Published band for this country. Priced on the hyperscale band, which already reflects anchor deals. No usable capex for this site. Electricity unstated in the band. An estimate, never a quote, computed by fixed rules published on the Colo prices page and never counted in any total.
