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 Rai ranks second 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 Panchkula and Anant Raj Cloud Manesar. Named funding comes from Anant Raj Limited on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
The build is phased. Shell under construction at 100 MW is under construction with a 2027 target; Full Rai campus by FY32 at 200 MW is announced with a 2031 target. The stage was recorded as under construction 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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 13 October 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
No public signal either way.
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.

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
No figure has been announced. This range is 200 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$6.64 per watt for Mumbai, plus or minus 15 percent. 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.
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.
