Anant Raj Cloud Singapore Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Anant Raj Ltd, and Orange Business Services Singapore Pte. Ltd. have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Haryana, acting through the Department of Industries & Commerce, on October 6, 2026. The disclosure describes the area as a strategic and marketing collaboration, domestic and international in scope. The MoU does not provide for any shareholding arrangement or joint venture, and the consideration paid or received is stated as None.

What the MoU is meant to do

• AR Cloud Singapore will undertake global marketing of Ashok Cloud, the Anant Raj group's cloud platform, and of data centre services hosted in Haryana.
• It will facilitate onboarding of overseas customers seeking to host their data in Haryana.
• Orange Business will explore opportunities to act as a technology partner for the establishment of data centres and support cloud services, including those designed for AI workloads and high-performance computing, providing technology architecture, cloud and AI hardware and technical expertise, and supporting international go-to-market initiatives.
• The stated aim is to promote Haryana as a preferred global hub for data centres, cloud and AI infrastructure.

Numbers behind the story

• In June 2026, the company signed an MoU with the Government of Haryana under the Make in Haryana event, committing ₹25,000 crore towards the development of data centre infrastructure across the state.
• The company, through its group entities, has committed to developing approximately 307 MW of IT Load across its Manesar, Panchkula and Rai campuses.
• The Rai campus in Sonipat has potential capacity of around 200 MW IT Load.
• Further investments are planned in phases based on demand, commercial viability and requisite approvals.
• The Government of Haryana has introduced a dedicated Data Centre Policy 2026, offering a range of incentives to support data centre infrastructure development in the state.

About the partner

• Orange Business is the enterprise division of the Orange Group, with 30,000 employees across 65 countries.
• More than 30,000 B-to-B customers globally use Orange Business; as of the end of 2025, Orange connects 340 million customers across 26 countries and generated 40.4 billion euros in revenues.
• Orange is listed on the Euronext Paris. The relationship between Anant Raj and Orange Business began in 2024 with a partnership to deliver managed cloud services in India, and now expands towards global cloud services and digital infrastructure.

What this is and is not
