It has completed 9.96 million square feet of commercial and residential space, including 2,663 affordable housing units. Additionally, Anant Raj operates a data center with a 6 MW IT load capacity and provides cloud-based solutions.
The company has maintained strong financial growth over the past five years. Revenue rose 39% year-on-year, increasing from Rs 1,483 crore in FY24 to Rs 2,060 crore in FY25. Since FY21, revenue has grown at a CAGR of 69%. EBITDA increased by 43% from Rs 371 crore in FY24 to Rs 532 crore in FY25, reflecting a CAGR of 76% since FY21. Profit after tax (PAT) jumped 60% to Rs 426 crore from Rs 266 crore, with an exceptional CAGR of 149% since FY21.
As of Q1 FY26, Anant Raj launched “The Estate Apartments” in Sector 63A, Gurugram, receiving a strong market response. Construction is also underway on a community center and a commercial tower at Ashok Estate, while the Luxury Group Housing-2 project has reached advanced development stages. Q2 FY26 expects RERA clearance for a new 6-acre phase.
Furthermore, the second data center in Panchkula (7 MW capacity) has become operational, complementing the Manesar facility for disaster recovery purposes. Cloud integration at both centers is in progress in collaboration with Orange Business, and a major private client has been secured for 3 MW of colocation and cloud services at the Manesar site.

Risk Factor
Anant Raj operates within the cyclical and highly competitive real estate industry, which can lead to demand volatility and potentially affect cash flow. Several of the company’s projects are still in early development phases and are contingent on obtaining regulatory approvals. Delays in securing these approvals could impact project timelines and slow overall growth momentum.

Why it’s Recommended
HCL was incorporated in 1967 and is a Schedule A “Miniratna” Category-I Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) under the administrative control of the Ministry of Mines. It is the only company in India that is actively mining copper ore, and it owns all of the country’s active mining leases. HCL is the only vertically integrated producer of refined copper in India, with 160.48 million tons of reserves of copper ore. HCL holds around two-fifths of the copper ore reserves and resources in India with an average grade of 0.95%, which amounts to 755.32 million tonnes of copper ore (as of April 1, 2024). It holds a mining lease of more than 80% of the country’s copper reserves.
The company generated revenue of Rs 516.37 crore, up by 4.6% YoY, as of Q1FY26. It reported a PAT of Rs 134.28 crore as of Q1FY26, registering a growth of 18.41% YoY. It did Rs 409.85 crore capex in FY25, higher than the target of Rs 350 crore. HCL has plans to increase copper ore mining capacity from the current level of around 4.0 million tons per annum to 9.6 million tons per annum in phase 1, which is under implementation, through the expansion of existing mines, reopening of closed mines, and opening of new mines. It aims to expand the mine capacity to 12.2 million tonnes per annum by FY31 from 3.47 MTPA in FY25. It has been paying dividends consistently for the last 5 years with a 30% dividend payout ratio as of FY25.
In the next five to six years, the company plans to invest Rs 2,000 crore in capital expenditures and an increased budget for exploration, which has resulted in the discovery of 123 million tonnes of new copper ore reserves and resources in the last two years, and will continue to add. HCL has partnered with other public sector entities such as Indian Oil Corporation Ltd and GAIL to expand into key minerals and rare earth elements, which helps the company to reduce its dependency on a single commodity and spread business risk across multiple high-demand minerals. Further, copper is essential to EV technology and its supporting infrastructure. The evolving EV market will have a substantial impact on copper demand. The increase in the EV market will significantly impact copper demand. The projected demand for copper due to EVs is expected to increase by around 1.7 million tonnes by 2027.
Risk Factor
Due to the potential negative effects of mining operations on the environment and communities, HCL is susceptible to social and environmental risks. To mitigate the negative environmental impact, the company may be subject to stricter adherence to sustainable mining practices and more regulatory scrutiny. HCL remains exposed to the movement in international copper prices, resulting in volatility in profitability and cash flows.
