Anant Raj Limited's Board approved a final dividend of Rs. 1 per equity share (50% on face value of Rs. 2) for FY 2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing AGM. The company reported strong consolidated results with net profit of Rs. 557.02 crores for FY 2025-26, up 31% from Rs. 425.82 crores in the previous year. Consolidated EPS improved from Rs. 12.43 to Rs. 15.81. The Board also announced plans to explore demerger of its Real Estate and Data Center businesses into separate entities to unlock shareholder value, with a committee formed to evaluate the structure. Additionally, a new Whole-time Director (Anish Sarin) was appointed, and managerial remuneration limits were increased for three director family members.
The dividend signals consistent shareholder returns amid strong profit growth. The planned demerger could be a significant value unlock, separating the high-growth Data Center business (357 MW planned capacity, Rs. 20,000 Cr investment) from traditional real estate operations.
