Anant Raj Limited was born in New Delhi. Its journey took form in 1969, setting standards long before Gurgaon's skyline emerged, and real estate became an industry. Named after Lala Anant Ram Sarin and Smt. Raj Kumari Sarin, Anant Raj has shaped residences, commercial spaces, and IT infrastructure across the National Capital Region. That origin is not incidental — it means the company's land bank, institutional relationships, and construction knowledge are woven into Delhi's urban fabric across multiple generations of growth.
Their journey began as contractors for major government bodies, including the DDA, MES, PWD, and CPWD, from 1969 to 1990, cementing a reputation as one of the most reliable and experienced players in the industry. Beginning as contractors for government projects including the Asian Games in Delhi, the company grew into a prominent real estate developer across the Delhi NCR region. This government-contractor grounding — building at scale, to specification, on time — established habits of execution that private development later inherited.
Anant Raj has built approximately 30,000 homes through various projects spanning Delhi and NCR, completing top-tier residential work in prominent areas including Rohini, East of Kailash, Sheikh Sarai, Madangir, Katwaria Sarai, and the Asiad Village Complex. These are not peripheral locations — they represent some of the city's most established residential geographies, each developed across different decades as Delhi expanded.
With over 300 acres of land and 21 million sq. ft. delivered, the company stands for permanence in the Delhi market. They have delivered projects across asset classes — residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, and now data centers — with a presence across approximately 320 acres in premium localities of Delhi NCR.
One distinctive aspect of Anant Raj's commercial strategy in Delhi sets it apart from many developers: the company maintains a steadfast policy of not selling any of its commercial properties, and today holds almost 5 million sq. ft. of leasable space, much of which is operational, across prime locations in Delhi and NCR. The first commercial lease was signed in 1978, and that property remains with the company today — an indicator of the long-horizon thinking that runs through its portfolio decisions.
Anant Raj Centre is a strategically located commercial development spread over 5.75 acres, just 10 km from IGI Airport, New Delhi. With a newly approved developable FAR of 0.5 million sq. ft., the property is set to transform into a mixed-use development featuring service apartments and commercial spaces.
The Mehrauli project is coming with a hotel, serviced apartments, and an office complex, combining multiple use formats within a single address. Anant Raj has obtained all the clearances needed for Anant Centre in Mehrauli, South Delhi, including a registration certificate from the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, and the company's proposal for a mixed-use land project in South Delhi has been approved. The company plans to build six lakh sq. ft. in addition to what has already been constructed, with construction started on the hotel and serviced apartment components. The property spans 5.5 acres, with plans to build an additional tower.
Features such as rainwater harvesting systems, solar panels, and eco-friendly materials contribute to creating sustainable and cost-effective business spaces within the complex. The inclusion of a hotel alongside serviced apartments and office space reflects a deliberate strategy: occupants of the office floors can draw on hospitality infrastructure within the same address, reducing friction for both long-stay professionals and corporate guests.
Mehrauli's commercial case rests on geography, not perception. The Delhi Metro Yellow Line runs through Mehrauli, connecting it directly to Gurugram and Central Delhi. Additionally, Indira Gandhi International Airport is a short drive away, making it convenient for business travelers. For a hotel-and-office complex, both of those facts translate directly into occupancy and utilisation rates.
The locality sits at the intersection of South Delhi's established residential demand and Gurugram's corporate corridor. Property prices in Mehrauli are competitive compared to its adjoining locales, and the area is connected to Gurugram via the Yellow Metro Line's Qutub Minar station, is only 15 km from IGI Airport via the New Rao Tula Ram Flyover, and provides access to office districts at Nehru Place and DLF Cyber City within 10–15 km. Anuvrat Marg and Mehrauli-Badarpur Road serve as its principal arterial connections, supplemented by Sri Aurobindo Marg.
Mehrauli, located in South Delhi, is a historically significant neighbourhood. One of its most iconic landmarks is the Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Mehrauli Archaeological Park and the bustling Mehrauli Market together create a catchment that draws both foot traffic and institutional tenants seeking a distinctive South Delhi address. For a hotel product, proximity to heritage infrastructure is an asset — it differentiates the address from generic office-park locations further out on the expressways.
Anant Raj is now in its fourth generation of family leadership. The fourth generation demonstrates an unwavering commitment to advancing the founder's legacy and has successfully repositioned the company as a leader in emerging growth sectors while reinforcing existing businesses across all verticals. With over 30 years in real estate, infrastructure, and finance, Managing Director Amit Sarin has steered Anant Raj toward profitability and asset growth, and was awarded Indian Business Leader of the Year in 2014.
The financial trajectory bears out the operational story. Revenue from operations for Q3 FY25 stood at INR 544 crore, up 36% year-on-year, while EBITDA for the same period reached INR 143 crore, up 45% year-on-year. Profit before tax grew 53% year-on-year to INR 132 crore, and profit after tax jumped 55% year-on-year to INR 110 crore. In the full fiscal year FY24, the company achieved a record turnover of Rs 1,520.74 crore and a Profit After Tax of Rs 265.93 crore — the highest in its history.
Beyond Delhi, Anant Raj is engaged in the construction and development of residential townships, group housing, commercial developments, IT parks, malls, office complexes, affordable housing, data centres, hospitality, and serviced apartments primarily in Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and the National Capital Region. Projects like Birla Navya — a joint venture between Anant Raj Limited and Birla Estates Pvt. Ltd., an 800-floor project — and the Anant Raj Estate township in Sector 63A, Gurugram, mark the company's shift into larger, mixed-format suburban developments alongside its core Delhi portfolio.
In the data centre segment, Anant Raj has moved into digital infrastructure through its data centre and cloud division, including Ashok Cloud, a digital cloud platform designed in collaboration with Orange Business, offering scalable infrastructure, managed services, and security solutions. Anant Raj Cloud won the award for Best Innovation in Data Center Design and Infrastructure at the Data Center Innovation Excellence Awards 2024, organised by Express Computer. This vertical diversification matters for a Delhi buyer: it signals a developer whose revenue base is not entirely dependent on residential cycle timing.
The luxury real estate market in Delhi NCR surged in H1 2025, with branded residencies dominating and prices appreciating by around 9% year-on-year. Within that macro, South Delhi — and Mehrauli specifically — occupies a position distinct from the suburban expressway corridors: land is genuinely constrained, the metro is already running, and the surrounding residential demand is underpinned by established households rather than speculative new-suburb formation.
North India is likely to post the fastest 18.70% CAGR in commercial real estate through 2031, catalysed by infrastructure investments and new airport connectivity. For a developer with a land bank rooted in Delhi NCR since 1969, that structural tailwind is directly relevant. Anant Raj's approach — retaining commercial assets rather than selling them, building mixed-use formats that stack hotel, serviced apartments, and offices on the same parcel — positions its Delhi projects to capture both the near-term leasing cycle and the longer-term capital appreciation that constrained South Delhi land typically delivers.
