Anant Raj Q3 FY25: A Strong Performance & Strategic Growth

Anant Raj, a key player in India’s real estate and infrastructure development, has delivered an impressive performance for Q3 FY25. The company's revenue from operations for the quarter surged to Rs. 544 crores, reflecting a 36% year-on-year growth.

This increase highlights the strong demand and growth in the real estate and infrastructure sectors, positioning the company as a leader in its field.

Furthermore, the company’s EBITDA for Q3 FY25 reached Rs. 143 crores, a significant jump of 45% YoY, demonstrating enhanced operational efficiencies and robust financial health.

Profit before tax (PBT) saw a remarkable rise of 53%, reaching Rs. 132 crores, while the profit after tax (PAT) soared by 55% to Rs. 110 crores. These figures underline the company's strong profitability, which has been fueled by both a diversified project portfolio and strategic cost management initiatives.

Notably, Anant Raj’s performance for the first nine months of FY25 has already exceeded the full-year figures of FY24, reflecting the company’s sustained growth momentum and its ability to adapt to changing market conditions. This stellar growth trajectory signals an optimistic outlook for the future, as the company continues to capitalize on the opportunities in India’s booming real estate and infrastructure markets.

A key strategic priority for the company has been reducing its debt. In Q3 FY25, Anant Raj achieved a substantial reduction in net debt, bringing it down to Rs. 54 crores from Rs. 96 crores in Q2 FY25. This achievement underscores the company’s disciplined financial management and its commitment to strengthening its balance sheet.

Anant Raj has also made significant strides in its data center expansion initiatives. The company successfully operationalized a 6 MW IT load data center at Manesar, marking an important milestone in its data infrastructure development. In addition, the company is on track to add another 22 MW IT load with the upcoming expansions at Manesar and Panchkula, bringing the total capacity to an impressive 28 MW. This growth comes at a time when demand for data centers is increasing rapidly, driven by advancements in AI, data localization policies, and the need for robust digital infrastructure in India.

In line with this, Anant Raj has also launched 'Ashok Cloud,' India’s very own sovereign cloud platform, in partnership with Orange Business. Initially offering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) on a 0.5 MW IT load, Ashok Cloud is poised to expand its offerings, catering to the rising demand for cloud services across industries. The company’s ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions places it in a prime position to capitalize on India’s fast-growing data center and cloud market.

In the real estate segment, Anant Raj continues to push forward with its residential projects. The construction of The Estate Residences (Group Housing 1) has begun, with work progressing at full speed. Additionally, the development of Anant Raj Ashray – 2 in Tirupati is also on track for timely delivery. The handover process for Birla Navya Phase 1 has already commenced, signaling the completion of another major project.

Looking ahead, Anant Raj is preparing for the launch of a new version of Independent Floors, branded as The Estate Apartments, in Q4 FY25. The sample apartment is ready, and discussions are already underway in the market. The company has also made significant progress with the approval process for a recently acquired 11.35-acre land parcel, with a Letter of Intent for land conversion already in hand.

Furthermore, the building plans for Birla Navya Phase 4 have been approved, and the project is expected to launch in Q4 FY25, following the submission of its RERA application. This continued expansion across both residential and commercial developments positions Anant Raj for sustained growth and value creation for its stakeholders.
