Stepping on the gas pedal
Combined impact of cyclical upturn in the residential sector, all time low inventory and well-located
land bank is expected to drive strong sales volume growth together with pricing power for Anant Raj CMP: INR248
Ltd (ARCP).
Rating: BUY
We initiate coverage on ARCP with a ‘BUY’ and a SoTP-based TP of INR302, implying an upside of 22% Target price: INR302
from the CMP. Our optimism is driven by:
Upside: 22%
i) A 77% CAGR (FY23-26E) in pre-sales to INR4,150cr in FY26E on a significant scale up in launch
pipeline (5.7mn sq. ft. in FY24 and FY25). Date: November 9, 2023
ii) Investment in high-growth data centre space to create a new stream of revenue, we expect
annuity of INR259cr from the 21MW capacity planned in 1st phase by FY27E.
iii) A 76% CAGR in operating cash flows over FY23-26E on strong collections and scale up in annuity
income, which will support capex requirement for data centres. We expect net debt-to-equity Bloomberg: ARCP:IN
ratio to decline from 0.37x in FY23 to -0.11x in FY26E.

Cyclical upswing in Gurugram’s residential real estate market 88/253
Gurugram is the largest residential real estate market in Delhi-NCR, contributing ~52% of total area range (INR):
absorbed. The upswing in the sector began in FY19/20 and post COVID, the market saw a significant
Share in issue (cr): 32.4
surge in demand on i) increased preference for ownership, ii) requirement of a larger space suiting work-
from-home lifestyle, iii) deployment of household savings in real estate and iv) correction in prices. In
M-cap (INR cr): 7,984
FY23, Gurugram was the best performing market, with absorption growing 95% YoY (pan India
absorption growth of 30.3%). Supply grew 188% YoY on a low base, but lagged absorption, leading to Promoter holding (%) 63.31
inventory declining to an all-time low of ~7 months in Mar 2023. We expect the demand momentum to
continue on i) strong consumer sentiment, ii) increasing preference for branded inventory, and iii) a
continuing shift of commercial centres from Delhi to Gurugram. Record low inventory levels and
constrained supply is expected to drive price appreciation. With more than 170 acres of land bank 700
located in Sector 63A of Gurugram, ARCP is expected to be one of the key beneficiaries of the robust 600
demand. 500

0.65mn sq. ft. (GDV - ~INR818cr). It has planned to launch another 5.46mn sq. ft. over FY24 and FY25
with a GDV of INR7,974cr. Post these developments, ARCP will still be left with ~30 acres of land. Apart
from Sector 63A, it has land parcels of ~83 acres spread across Delhi and Haryana, for which it is yet to Sensex Anant Raj
finalize development plans. Over FY23-26E, we expect ARCP’s pre-sales to deliver a 77% CAGR, from
INR748cr to INR4,150cr.
Foray into high-growth high-yield data centre segment
JLL anticipates an addition of 678MW to the digital transformation industry over 2023–25 on i) rising
data consumption trends, and ii) preference for data localization post implementation of Digital Personal
Data Protection Bill in June 2024, taking the industry capacity to 1,456MW. Delhi-NCR is expected to get
11% of the incremental supply, with capacity addition of ~80MW over 2023-25. Hyperscalers will be the
key end-users, followed by the Government and corporates. To capitalize on the growing demand, ARCP
has made aggressive plans to develop a capacity of 300MW over 7-8 years. In the 1st phase, it has
planned a capacity of 21MW, to be delivered by Q1FY25. By FY25-end, it plans to take the capacity to
50MW. We are considering only the 1st phase in our estimate and see an annuity of INR259cr from the
planned 21MW by FY27E.
Ramp up in pre-sales, expansion of annuity portfolio to drive 60% CAGR OCF and fund capex
requirement
Led by consistent launches, healthy pre-sales and strong growth in annuity income, we expect ARCP to
generate OCF of INR641cr in FY26E from INR117cr in FY23, a 76% CAGR. Strong OCF will fund the capex
requirement of its annuity and data centre assets and we do not see it taking any additional long term
debt. We foresee a net D/E ratio of -0.11x in FY26E against 0.37x in FY23.
We initiate coverage on ARCP with a BUY rating and SoTP-based TP of INR302
We value the residential real estate, data centres and commercial annuity portfolio at NAV and use
EV/EBITDA multiple to value hospitality assets. Residential/data centres/commercial/hospitality
segments make up for 71%/17%/10%/1% of the enterprise fair value.

Stepping on the gas pedal

Business structure
Established in 1969, ARCP was a prominent EPC player in Delhi-NCR for the first 30 years of its operations, where it executed construction and civil
contracts for the Government. Currently, the company owns more than 300 acres of land parcels, of which more than 75% is concentrated in Sector
63A, Gurgaon. The balance is spread across multiple locations in Delhi and Haryana. Till date, ARCP has delivered more than 20mn sq. ft. of residential
projects, utilising ~60 acres of the land bank. Over the remaining land parcels, it has ongoing developments of ~2.4mn sq. ft. and plans to add another
~5.5mn sq. ft. in the near term. The projects are a balanced mix of group housing, plots, independent floors and commercial buildings, catering to
premium and above categories. The company also has a comprehensive annuity portfolio where it owns and operates office and hospitality assets
and is foraying into high growth data centre segment with plans to develop a load handling capacity of 300MW over 7-8 years (3MW commissioned
and 3MW to be commissioned by December 2023).

We expect ARCP’s pre-sales to increase to INR4,150cr in FY26E from INR748cr in FY23, a CAGR of 77%, on:
i) Significant scale up in launch pipeline, we expect launches of 2.7/2.8mn sq. ft in H2FY24E/FY25E.
ii) Cyclical upswing in Gurugram market on strong demand (H1FY24 absorption up 75% YoY), record low inventory levels (5.2 months as of
September 2023) and increased preference for quality and branded inventory.
iii) A strong growth in average realisation over FY23-26E on improving product mix and price appreciation in Gurugram market.
In the leasing segment, ARCP has planned development of ~1.65mn sq. ft. of mix use asset containing hotels, service apartment and office space,
which will drive significant scale up in revenues.
The new vertical of data centres is expected to contribute meaningfully from FY26E onwards as capacity of ~21MW becomes operational. While
management has guided at capacity of ~50MW and ~100MW by the end of FY25E and FY26E, we are considering only the first phase of 21MW in our
estimates. We expect revenue from data centres to grow to INR201cr in FY26E, from INR 2cr in H1FY23.
Driven by strong growth in pre-sales with expansion of leasing and data centre portfolio, we expect ARCP’s operating cash flow to grow at 76% CAGR
over FY23-26E. While a large part of the OCF would be deployed towards capex for Data Centres, we do not expect the company to take on additional
long-term debt and see improvement in gearing. We expect net debt-to-equity ratio improving to -0.11x in FY26E from 0.37x in FY23.
We are optimistic on ARCP’s growth story owing to i) cyclical upswing in Delhi-NCR’s residential real estate market, ii) increasing preference for quality
branded inventory across products, iii) significant expansion in ARCP’s launch pipeline and pre-sales growth, iv) multi-fold expansion in annuity
portfolio, v) investment in high-growth data centre segment and vi) improving cash flows and balance sheet strength. We initiate a ‘BUY’ on ARCP
with a price target of INR302, valuing the business at 1xFY24E NAV.

We expect pre-sales in residential real estate Revenue from annuity portfolio to expand at Led by improving product mix, growth

Valuation
Summary
We initiate coverage on ARCP with a ‘BUY’ rating and a SoTP-based price target of INR302. ARCP is one of the largest landowners
in Delhi-NCR with a land bank of over 250 acres, spread across up-and-coming locations in Gurugram and Delhi. We expect a
significant scale up in ARCP’s pre-sales on i) a strong launch pipeline of over 5.5mn sq. ft. over next 18 months on a land bank
which is owned and fully paid for, ii) cyclical uptick in Delhi-NCR’s residential real estate market on growing demand and record
low inventory levels, iii) increasing preference for branded premium products, and iv) increase in average realisations per sq. ft.
on constrained supply in the industry coupled with ARCP’s improving product mix. Over FY23-26E, we expect ARCP’s pre-sales to
grow at a CAGR of 77%, to INR4,150cr. We also see a significant surge in annuity income, led by, i) its foray into the data centre
space where it plans to build and lease 21MW of IT load handing capacity in the first phase (by Q1FY25), and ii) steady growth in
rentals in the current commercial annuity portfolio. ARCP is also planning an expansion of leasable area by ~1.55mn sq. ft. at its
commercial assets of Anant Raj Centre and Stellar resorts land parcel, which we have not considered in our estimates. We expect
rental income to expand from INR31cr in FY23 to INR317cr in FY26E, a CAGR of 118%.

We see a meaningful de-leveraging from FY26E onwards as i) we believe the business will generate enough OCF to fund capex
requirement of data centres during FY24 and FY25, ii) business will start generating free cash flows from FY26E as data centres
start contributing meaningfully. We see net debt to equity ratio declining to -0.11x in FY26E from 0.37x in FY23.

ARCP’s stock saw a significant run up in the last one year and has sharply outperformed NIFTY and NIFTY Realty index due to i)
strong residential sales momentum with favorable demand supply scenario ii) all time low inventory in Gurugram (5.2 months as
of September 2023), iii) improving cash flow visibility, and iv) entry into data centres. Given the strong growth in residential sales
we expect the outperformance to continue.

Residential real estate


We value ARCP’s residential real estate portfolio at the net asset value of inventory in ongoing and completed projects and
estimated value of planned developments. ARCP has a very limited unsold inventory in completed projects. In the ongoing
projects, it has an unsold inventory of ~0.65mn sq. ft. (ARCP share - 0.37mn sq. ft.) with an expected saleable value of INR818cr
(ARCP share – INR582cr). Over the next 18 months, it has planned launches of ~5.84mn sq. ft. (ARCP’s share – 5.46mn sq. ft.),
which we expect to be booked by FY27E. We expect a booking value of INR7,974cr (ARCP’s share) in these planned projects. As
per our assumptions and estimates, we arrive at FY24 NAV of INR7,591cr for residential portfolio. In our assumptions, we have
not considered the future development potential of the unused land bank of ~83 acres in Delhi and Haryana.

Data Centres
ARCP owns 3 commercial assets at Manesar (Haryana), Rai (Haryana) and Panchkula (Chandigarh). Except for Panchkula, where
offices occupy ~0.65mn sq. ft. on lease, the others are vacant. ARCP plans to retrofit and remodel the vacant assets and convert
them into fully functional data centres with an IT load handling capacity of 150MW (Manesar – 50MW; Rai – 100MW). At
Panchkula, it intends to add a building with an area of 0.6mn sq. ft. on a fully owned 5.25acre vacant land parcel, where it will
house another 50MW. As of September 2023, ARCP has commissioned a capacity of 3MW (leased to RailTel Corporation of India)
at Manesar, and plans to commission another 3MW (pre-leased Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd) to in December 2023.
It plans to add another 15MW by Q1FY25, taking the total capacity of the 1st phase to 21MW.

In the 2nd phase, it plans to add another 29MW at Manesar, which will take total capacity to 50MW by FY25-end. Further
development and leasing will depend on the demand and response to the Manesar asset. We have been conservative in our
assumptions and have valued only 21MW of Data centres which are under development.

Commercial Leasing
ARCP operates a 0.65mn sq. ft. Grade A commercial asset in Panchkula, Chandigarh, which is fully leased out. The property enjoys
monthly rental of ~INR90 per sq. ft. which we expect to grow at an average of 5% annually, in line with the industry. It also
operates a standalone mixed-use asset of 0.15mn sq. ft. in Gurugram which earns a monthly rental of ~INR90 per sq. ft. Put
together, these two assets generate an annuity income of INR91cr.

The company owns 3 hospitality assets, viz., Bel-LA Monde hotel (New Delhi – 0.1mn sq. ft.), Stellar Resorts (New Delhi – 0.1mn
sq. ft.) and Misaki Hotel (Manesar – 0.1mn sq. ft.), which are rented out to operators. The contracts are based on revenue sharing
but also have a minimum guarantee. As per the minimum guarantee clause, its Bel-LA Monde and Stellar resorts generate an
annual rental of ~INR14cr.

ARCP is planning to expand the Bel-LA Monde and Stellar Resorts assets to utilise the entire FSI available at these locations. The
assets are expected to be converted to mixed use developments consisting commercial, hospitality and retail offerings, with a
cumulative gross leasable area of 1.65mn sq. ft. (Bel-LA Monde asset – 0.7mn sq. ft.; Stellar resort asset – 0.95mn sq. ft.) which
would be leased out. The Bel-LA Monde property will be rebranded as Anant Raj Center. ARCP expects the commercial/hospitality
to be operational by H2FY25/H1FY27. Timeline for Stellar Resort property is not yet finalised. We have not considered the revised
revenue potential of these projects into our estimates.

Valuation Methodology
Residential operations - NAV calculation
We divided the residential land bank into i) under construction (2.26mn sq. ft.), ii) planned developments (5.84mn sq. ft.) and iii)
land bank (2.29mn sq. ft.).
• We classified ARCP’s entire land bank into key projects based on the information provided by the company.
• We arrived at the sale price (INR/sq ft) and the anticipated sales volume for each project based on our market assessment
and our interaction with the company.
• We assumed annual inflation rate of 8% for sales.
• We assumed annual inflation rate of 5% in costs.
• We deducted the construction cost from the sale price and derived our cost estimate after discussion with the company.
• We deducted marketing and other costs assuming they equate to 5% of sales.
• We deducted income tax at the applicable rate of 25.2%.
• We discounted the resultant cash flow based on WACC of 11.6%. Additionally, we added the NAV for all the projects and
development potential of the land bank to arrive at our NAV forecast of INR7,591cr for the company’s residential segment.

Data Centres - NAV calculation


In our valuation, we have valued only the 1st phase of planned development.
• We have considered a gradual ramp up in occupancy over FY25 and FY26 based on industry trends. We expect peak utilisation
of 98% by FY27.
• We arrived at the lease price (INR/sq. ft./month) based on our interaction with the company and market experts.
• We arrived at the operating cost (INR/sq. ft./month) based on our discussion with the company and operating cost incurred
in the existing capacity of 3MW.
• We multiplied the leasable area with the occupancy rate to get the occupied area. To arrive at the lease rental, we multiplied
the occupied area with the lease price (INR/sq ft/month).

Commercial operations - NAV calculation


In our valuation, we have considered the currently operational assets of 0.8mn sq. ft.
• We have considered ARCP’s currently operational assets
• We arrived at the lease price (INR/sq ft/month) based on our interaction with the company and market experts.
• We excluded the common area maintenance (CAM) charge from our calculation.
• The assets are fully occupied as of date and we have assumed 100% occupancy going forward.
• We multiplied the leasable area with the occupancy rate to get the occupied area. To arrive at the lease rental, we multiplied
the occupied area with the lease price (INR/sq ft/month).
• We assumed annual inflation rate of 5% for rent.
• We deducted depreciation from the lease rental to arrive at EBIT.
• We deducted income tax at the applicable rate of 25.2%.
• We added back non-cash charges and deducted any capital expenditure incurred to arrive at the project cash flow.
• We assumed cap rate of 8% to arrive at the terminal value.
• We discounted the resultant cash flow based on WACC of 11.6% to arrive at our NAV forecast of INR1,034cr for the company’s
commercial segment.

Hotel valuation – 12x EV/EBITDA FY24 multiple


In our valuation, we have considered two assets, viz., Bel-LA Monde and Stellar resorts.
• ARCP has 2 operational hotels, viz., Bel-LA Monde and Stellar resorts, located at Chhatrapur (New Delhi) and Rajokri (New
Delhi) respectively.
• We valued the current hotels by assigning a comparable multiple to the expected EBITDA of these assets.
• ARCP has a revenue sharing agreement with the hotel operator, but also has a minimum guaranteed annual lease in case of
a shortfall in revenue. We have considered the minimum guaranteed lease in our estimates
• We have considered an EBITDA margin of 92% to arrive at EBITDA.
• We assigned 12x FY24 EV/EBITDA multiple, which we believe is conservative given the sectoral tailwinds and premium location
of assets. We arrive at a fair value of INR156cr.

Investment Hypothesis

I. Cyclical upswing in the residential real estate market of Gurugram

Gurugram is the largest residential real estate market in Delhi-NCR, contributing nearly 52% of total area absorbed. Post cyclical
slowdown from FY14-19, the cycle has turned bullish with strong demand resurgence as evident from the Exhibit 12 below. We
expect that driven by strong demand trends, increased preference for luxury products, and a shift of commercial centres from
Delhi to Gurugram, residential real estate market in Gurugram is expected remain buoyant over the coming years. We note that
sharp decline in the inventory (in months sales) from peak of ~55 months to an all-time low of ~7 months in FY23 implying
continued sales and pricing power with developer.

FY09-10 | Demand/supply growth – 45%/33%: During 2002-03, the markets saw an influx of liquidity as US switched to
quantitative easing in 2001 post 9/11 crisis to support its growth and economy. Also, during the same period, the impact of
globalisation started to make waves in India, with a large amount of foreign capital flowing into multiple sectors and segments,
which also included the real estate sector. Additionally, in 2005, the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP),
Government of India, replaced the integrated township policy to permit Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) up to 100% in the real
estate sector. As a product of these events, India saw a tremendous increase in FDIs in the real estate segment.

The period also saw increasing interest from global IT/ITeS firms for setting up their back-end support to India, which primarily
drove demand for commercial real estate in metro cities. BFSI, manufacturing and other allied segments also saw growth on an
overall improvement in economy, which drove growth in employment. Given the increasing job opportunities, the period saw a
significant surge in urbanisation, driving demand for residential real estate in urban centres such as Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and
Bengaluru.
While demand surged sharply, supply was slow to catch up, driving price appreciation. All in all, barring the one-year glitch in
2008 on account of the sub-prime crisis, the sector was in a bull phase for the better part of the decade.

FY11-21 | Demand/supply CAGR – (9%)/(12%): Driven by the attractiveness of the cycle and supported by the available liquidity,
real estate market in Gurugram started seeing a rapid surge in supply from FY11 onwards. Supply exceeded demand by a margin
over FY11-13, which led to ballooning of inventory, to ~37 months in FY14 from only ~12 months in FY11. Over FY11-13, despite
strong supply, prices remained strong on healthy demand. Prices grew at a CAGR of ~36% over this period.
Combined impact of cyclical slowdown, high inventory, implementation of RERA, demonetisation, the demand declined sharply
leading to rise in inventory levels to 57 months in FY17 despite low relatively low supply during FY14-18. Post FY19, we have seen
a revival of demand with the cyclical upswing in the residential sector. Supply lagged demand during FY15-21 and inventory levels
slipped to ~23 months in FY21.
Though the sales were impacted during Covid, we have seen a very strong growth in sales with continued demand growth and
historically low inventory.

FY22-23 | Demand/suppy CAGR – 75%/157%: In line with the other markets in India, Gurugram saw a significant recovery in
demand post-COVID on i) increased preference for owning a house, ii) requirement of a larger living space to accommodate work-
from-home/hybrid work lifestyle, iii) deployment of household savings in real estate and iv) correction in prices. Supply also saw
a sharp recovery in FY22, however, continuing to lag demand. Demand/supply grew 58%/130% YoY in FY22. Inventory levels
declined to the lowest since FY11, to ~12 months.

In FY23, Gurugram posted one of its best performances, with the growth in absorption being the highest among the top seven
cities. Absorption grew 95% YoY against a pan India absorption growth of 30.3%. On a lower base, supply saw a sharp growth, up
188% YoY. Inventory plunged further, to an all-time low of ~7 months in FY23. Driven by strong consumer sentiment, increasing
preference for gated community and branded plotted development and a continuing shift of commercial centres from Delhi to
Gurugram, demand is expected to stay robust ahead. We expect an improvement in prices on robust demand, record low
inventories and an increasing preference for branded developments and luxury products. We expect the Gurugram residential
real estate to remain buoyant over the next 4-5 years.

Key ongoing projects; saleable area/estimated GDV — 2.26mn sq. ft./INR3,254cr


ARCP has launched four projects since FY23 in Gurugram's Sector 63A. These projects are a mix of villas, plotted developments,
group housing, and commercial and retail projects.

Anant Raj Estate


It is the largest contiguous land parcel owned by ARCP. Spanning ~110 acres, it has already developed and sold ~60 acres, which
largely consists of plotted developments and independent floors. In the remainder, it plans to develop an integrated township,
which will be a mix of luxury villas, plotted developments, independent floors, and premium vertical high-rises. It has two ongoing
projects at this site: i) two/three/four BHK villas, launched in Q4FY23, with a developable area of 0.19mn sq. ft., of which 0.05mn
sq. ft. is yet to be sold; and ii) plots spread across 0.28mn sq. ft., of which 0.14mn sq. ft. is balance inventory. The project is
designed to provide a peaceful living experience, with state-of-the-art gardens and playgrounds and recreational spaces such as
a swimming pool, a gym, sports facilities, and fine dining spread over 1.5lk sq. ft. and a retail space or mall in close proximity.

Ashok Estate
Spanning over 20 acres, Ashok Estate is a gated community offering plots for development. Plot sizes vary from 160 to 179 sq.
yards. Located close to Anant Raj Estate, the project has access to multiple retail, recreational, and F&B facilities such as a
shopping complex and club house. The ongoing phase, having a developable area of 0.51mn sq. ft., was launched in July 2022.

Key forthcoming projects; saleable area/estimated GDV — 5.46mn sq. ft./INR7,974cr

Anant Raj Estate


i) Plotted development: ARCP secured approvals to extend its ongoing plotted development by another 0.72mn sq. ft., taking
the project size to ~1mn sq. ft. It already owns the land and has secured the necessary approvals to convert the same into
plots for sale. The project is expected to be launched in Q1FY25 as inventory in the ongoing phase is almost exhausted. It is
expected to generate an incremental revenue of ~INR1,000cr. It is launching relatively smaller plotted developments in Sector
63A, with a saleable area of 0.13mn sq. ft. and a GDV of INR213cr in November. These projects are likely to have a faster
turnaround, with ARCP expecting to hand them over by FY25-end.
ii) The Estate Residences: It plans to launch a group housing project under its own brand, outside of its JV with Birla Estates. The
project is expected to be spread over two phases. The first phase, with a saleable area of ~1mn sq. ft. and a GDV of
~INR1,800cr, is expected to be launched in November. The project will be spread over 5.43 acres and consists of 250 units of
four and five BHK apartments. The first phase is expected to be completed by December 2027. The second phase is expected
to be launched in Q3FY25 and will have a saleable area/revenue potential of 1.1mn sq. ft./~INR2,100cr. Completion is targeted
in December 2028.
iii) Independent floors: ARCP is expanding its successful independent floor project. It is expected to launch Phase II in November,
with a saleable area of 0.37mn sq. ft. and a revenue potential of ~INR594cr.

Birla Navya (Phase IV)


ARCP plans to launch Phase IV of Birla Navya in Q1FY25, under its JV with Birla Estates. It will have a saleable area of 0.8mn sq. ft.
spread across 208 units, with an estimated GDV of INR1,488cr. It expects to book nearly 50% of inventory at launch and the
balance over two years. It has earmarked around three years for construction of the project.

Anant Raj Ashray II — Tirupati


It plans to launch Phase II of its affordable group housing project in Tirupati in November after receiving a strong response for
Phase I. The project will be spread over 1.19mn sq. ft. and have an estimated GDV of INR315cr. The project will include a small
(~0.03mn sq. ft.) retail/commercial portion in the form of shops and offices, with a revenue potential of ~INR15cr.

Ashok Estate
Ashok Estate is spread over 20.14 acres, or ~97,478 sq. yards. Of this, 56,495 sq. yards are on sale. We expect the balance to be
launched by FY25-end. The balance area translates into a saleable area of 0.37mn sq. ft. Extrapolating the current average
realisation of the project, we expect the new phase to generate a revenue of ~INR740cr.

Future development potential: ~80 acres


ARCP owns nearly 30 acres in its key micro-market of Sector 63A, Gurugram. A large portion of the unused land is situated in the
vicinity of Ashok Estate. As per our assumptions, this land will have a developable area of 2.29mn sq. ft., with an estimated
development value of INR4,000cr. Sector 63A has land parcels of ~50 acres, which ARCP will acquire as needed. It does not expect
the entry of any new developer into Sector 63A as the remaining land parcels are non-contiguous and are adjacent to its property.
It plans to acquire ~11 acres in FY25 for development of a group housing project, with a development potential of ~1mn sq. ft.
and a GDV of ~INR1,800cr. Since the land has not been acquired by it, we have not considered the same in our valuation.

III. Betting big on data centres — a high-growth, high-yield real estate opportunity

As indicated by the rising data consumption and data creation trends, India is emerging as a data centre hub. From a monthly
usage of 9.5GB, India’s per capita data consumption surged to 19.5GB in 2022 (~20% CAGR). With greater internet penetration,
technological advancement (5G), and increasing per capita income, consumption is set to only rise. As per a biannual report
published by Ericsson, data consumption can clock 16% CAGR over 2022–28, which is ~47.5GB per month. With such a sharp
spurt in data consumption, demand for data storage will also increase, which is one of the key drivers fuelling the optimism for
India’s data centre industry.

In August, Parliament approved the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, which provides guidelines for handling and storing
personal data. Data collected online or offline, and later digitised in India, as well as foreign companies operating within India
come under the ambit of this bill. To use personal data, organisations must have a valid reason and obtain consent from
individuals, ensuring data accuracy, security, and deletion when its purpose is fulfilled. Along with data protection, the bill also
limits cross-border data storage, encouraging local storage of the data gathered within India. This data localisation is likely to
intensify the demand for data centres in coming years.

As per JLL, India’s data centre capacity has more than doubled since 2019 and stood at 778MW as of June. Based on the pre-
commitments and increasing demand from hyperscalers and other users, JLL expects a supply addition of 678MW over three
years beginning 2023, taking the total capacity to 1,456MW by the end of 2025. This addition will necessitate the demand for
9.1mn sq. ft. of real estate space, requiring an investment of USD4.8bn in data centre infrastructure. Delhi-NCR will see an
addition of ~80MW of data centre capacity over 2023–25, entailing investments of ~USD528mn. The incremental demand will
be largely driven by hyperscalers, who have pre-commitments of 350MW over 2023–25 across India.

As of January, ~80MW is under construction, with JLL expecting this to turn operational over 2023–25. This will be followed by
another 103MW planned for 2026–27. A significant portion of incremental demand is expected to be from hyperscalers who
have raised their pre-commitments meaningfully over 2022 (pan India commitment of 350MW over 2023–25). Apart from
hyperscalers, we expect strong demand from the government and corporates. A few key operators in the region include NTT, the
Adani Group, and Yotta Infrastructure.

To capitalise on the growing demand for data centres in and around Delhi-NCR, ARCP forayed into the building and leasing of
such centres in FY24. It has aggressive plans to expand this business by retrofitting and remodelling its commercial office assets
at three locations into best-in-class data centres. It plans to develop a combination of Tier III and IV data centres (Tier III/IV have
n+1/n+n redundancy), with a 300MW IT load capacity.

i) Anant Raj Tech Park, Manesar (Haryana) — 3MW leased out to TCIL and RAILTEL each
Anant Raj Tech Park is one of the firm’s first assets in the data storage domain, located 10km from Gurugram, which is the IT and
BPO hub in NCR. It is spread over 10 acres, with a leasable area of 1.8mn sq. ft. The existing structure can be converted into a
Tier III data centre, with an IT load capacity of 50MW. In the first phase, ARCP plans to build a 21MW IT load capacity data centre
over 450,000sq. ft., of which 3MW has been completed. The balance is set to be commissioned by Q4FY24-end. It has received
TIA-942 Tier III certification for the first phase. The management pegs the average monthly rental potential ~INR9,000/kW and
the average cost of constructing ~INR26cr/MW. In the second phase, it plans to expand its IT load capacity to 50MW.

ii) Anant Raj Tech Centre, Rai (Haryana) — 200MW potential


The Anant Raj Tech Centre is spread over 25 acres in Rai, with a development potential of 5.1m sq. ft. It is just 5km from NCR and
is connected to the airports at Gurugram and Manesar by the Kundli–Manesar–Palwal Expressway. Going forward, the area is
expected to be connected to the Delhi Metro. ARCP has a leasable area of 2.1mn sq. ft., which it plans to convert into a Tier III
data centre with a 100MW IT load capacity. It plans to add 1.5mn sq. ft. of leasable area, which can host 100MW of Tier III and
IV data centres. This will be its largest data centre.

iii) Anant Raj Tech Park, Panchkula (Chandigarh) — 50MW potential


The Anant Raj Tech Park at Panchkula is a JV between ARCP and US-based Monsoon Capital. It is spread over 9.2 acres and has a
development potential of 1.6mn sq. ft. Till date, it has developed 0.6mn sq. ft., which it has leased out to commercial offices. The
asset has a greenfield potential of 5.25 acres, with an FSI of 0.6mn sq. ft., that can be developed into a Tier IV data centre with
an IT load capacity of 50MW.

V. Growth in pre-sales, scale up in rentals from data centres to drive 76% CAGR in OCF

Backed by a significant scale up in launches and subsequently pre-sales, we expect revenue from the residential segment to
improve meaningfully over FY23–26. We expect 34% CAGR in development revenue to INR2,216cr in FY26 from INR926cr in FY23.
We see a sharp increase in rental income as the first phase of the data centre (21MW) ramps up. We expect rental income to
clock 117% CAGR to INR317cr in FY26 from INR31cr in FY23.

We expect 74% EBITDA CAGR over FY23–26 led by: i) expanding margin in residential projects on improving mix of higher margin
luxury projects and plotted developments, ii) increasing contribution from the high margin data centre assets, and iii) operating
leverage benefits. We expect EBITDA margin to expand to 41% in FY26 from 21% in FY23.

expect a significant portion of EBITDA to flow down to operating cash flow. We expect operating cash flows to expand to INR641cr
in FY26 from INR117cr in FY23 (76% CAGR).

VI. Internal accruals to fund investment in data centres, net debt to decline

As per the management, each MW of data centre capacity will require a capex of INR26cr. ARCP is targeting a capacity of 21MW/
29MW in FY24/FY25 which will entail a capex of ~INR525cr/~INR750cr. We are only considering the first phase of 21MW in our
estimates and valuation. Given the expected operating cash flow of ~INR641cr in FY24, we believe this capex will be funded via
internal accruals. While it may avail a few bridge loans to mitigate the gaps in the timing of cash flows, we do not see it drawing
on any long-term debt. We expect net debt to decline progressively over FY23–26E on strong cash flow generation. From 0.37x
in FY23, we expect net debt-to-equity ratio to improve to -0.11x in FY26.
