Anant Raj Limited reported strong FY 2025-26 results with consolidated revenue of Rs. 2,511.60 crores (up 22% YoY) and consolidated PAT of Rs. 557.02 crores (up 31% YoY). The Board declared a final dividend of Rs. 1 per share (50% payout) subject to shareholder approval. Sh. Anish Sarin was appointed as Additional Director and Whole-time Director effective May 11, 2026, pending shareholder approval. The company also approved increases in managerial remuneration limits for existing directors Amit Sarin, Aman Sarin, and Ashim Sarin. On the strategic front, the Board decided to evaluate a potential demerger of its Real Estate Development and Data Center Services businesses into separate entities to unlock shareholder value. The data center business is expanding with an MOU signed with Andhra Pradesh government for 50 MW capacity, taking total planned capacity to 357 MW with an investment of Rs. 20,000 crores. The company raised Rs. 1,100 crores via QIP in December 2025, with Rs. 750 crores remaining unutilized.
Strong financial performance with dividend declaration is positive for shareholders. The appointment of Anish Sarin (likely from the promoter Sarin family) and increases in family-linked managerial remuneration may raise governance concerns. The potential demerger into separate Real Estate and Data Center entities could unlock significant shareholder value if implemented.
