Submer and Anant Raj Cloud team up to build sustainable AI data centres in India

Submer and Anant Raj Cloud partner to build energy-efficient, liquid-cooled AI data centres across India, supporting Digital India and AI sovereignty.

"India is at a pivotal moment in its digital transformation. - Patrick Smets"

New Delhi, February 8

Submer has started a new partnership with Anant Raj Cloud, a part of Anant Raj Limited. This project is a major example of how Europe and India are working together. It brings advanced liquid-cooling and AI technology from Europe to India. Together, they will build sustainable data centres that help India keep its data secure and support the "Digital India" mission.

The two companies want to build data centres across India that are ready for heavy AI work. These facilities will use high-density and energy-efficient systems. This will enable businesses and the government to run large-scale AI programs with lower power consumption. Europe-based Submer will provide its modular infrastructure and its "InferX" platform to help manage these tasks easily.

Anant Raj Cloud is already a key player in India's technology space. It has large campuses in Manesar and Panchkula. The company is now moving beyond simple data storage to build high-tech homes for powerful GPUs. This change aligns with the goals of the 2026-27 Union Budget, which aims to make India a hub for AI and semiconductors.

Patrick Smets, the CEO of Submer, said, "India is at a pivotal moment in its digital transformation. By combining Submer's modular datacenter infrastructure, liquid cooling technologies and prefabricated MEP systems with Anant Raj's existing Data Centre Infrastructure & Cloud Services and campus development capabilities, we bring high-performance AI compute online fast while significantly reducing environmental impact."

The partnership also focuses on making better use of space. Dev Tyagi, the President of UKI, India, and Asia at Submer, noted that this plan "supports far higher computing capacity in the same physical footprint." He added that this creates a "sovereign and sustainable path for AI adoption with speed and scale."

Amit Sarin, the Managing Director of Anant Raj Limited, expressed pride in leading AI efforts in India. He said that working with Submer and InferX "provides the perfect solution to support our economic growth." He also noted that these investments align with the Prime Minister's vision for a self-reliant India.

The official agreement for this partnership will be exchanged at the upcoming India AI Impact Summit 2026.

This is fantastic news! Sustainable data centres are the need of the hour. With the heat waves we face, liquid cooling and energy efficiency are not just good for the environment, they're essential for reliable operations. Hope this brings more tech jobs to Manesar and Panchkula! 🙌

Good partnership, but I hope the focus on "sovereign" data means real data localization and security. We've seen too many instances where foreign tech partnerships don't fully respect Indian data privacy laws. The proof will be in the implementation.

Interesting to see European tech aligning with India's Digital India mission. The modular infrastructure approach from Submer could be a game-changer for rapid deployment. Wondering if the 'InferX' platform will be accessible to Indian startups or only for large enterprises?

Finally! We need more high-performance compute power within the country. Relying on foreign cloud services for heavy AI work has been a bottleneck for our researchers and companies. If they can deliver on the "speed and scale" promise, it will boost innovation across sectors.

The environmental angle is crucial. Building data centres that use less power and water is a responsible way to support our digital growth. Hope this sets a new standard for all future infrastructure projects in India. Green tech is the way forward.
