Barcelona, Spain – February 8, 2026 – Submer, the full-stack AI infrastructure provider, is today announcing a strategic collaboration with Anant Raj Cloud, a subsidiary of Anant Raj Limited to develop fully operational AI-ready datacenters across India. The collaboration enables the rapid deployment of high-density, energy-efficient computing platforms designed to support sovereign and enterprise AI workloads at scale.
This partnership serves as a primary example of the EU-India Trade Deal in action, bringing world-class liquid-cooling technology from Spain and combining it with the robust infrastructure and operational support of India. Crucially, the collaboration strengthens a single, accountable source for AI datacenter design, build and scalable operation. Combined with Submer’s neocloud and inference platform, InferX, the partnership enables customers to access AI-ready infrastructure and compute through a unified, end-to-end model aligned with India’s sovereignty requirements.
Anant Raj plays a foundational role in India’s AI ecosystem by developing the physical infrastructure on which AI runs. With campuses in Manesar and Panchkula, Haryana, the company is expanding from traditional colocation and cloud services into utility-grade AI infrastructure designed for high-density, GPU-intensive workloads.
The announcement comes at a transformative moment for the industry, with the Union Budget 2026-27 laying a strong foundation for the AI datacenter and semiconductor ecosystem. The business initiatives are set to significantly boost global cloud and AI DC investments in India.
Patrick Smets, CEO at 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 Center Infrastructure & Cloud Services and campus development capabilities, we bring high-performance AI compute online fast while significantly reducing environmental impact.”
Dev Tyagi, President of UKI, India, and Asia at Submer, said:
“This partnership supports far higher computing capacity in the same physical footprint and establishes a blueprint for industrialized, AI application ready datacenters that can be replicated across India. This creates a sovereign and sustainable path for AI adoption with speed and scale.”
Mr. Amit Sarin, Managing Director, Anant Raj Limited, said:
“We are proud to lead AI adoption in India. Partnering with Submer and InferX to deliver sustainable AI datacenter and cloud services at speed provides the perfect solution to support our economic growth. This collaboration expands access to high-performance computing while advancing India’s AI sovereignty goals and nurturing a scalable, homegrown ecosystem. Our investments are firmly anchored in the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of Digital India, and Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
The Memorandum of Understanding is signed and will be exchanged at Anant Raj’s booth at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, reinforcing the company’s position as a key enabler of India’s AI ecosystem. By showcasing sustainable, AI-ready infrastructure at the summit, Submer and Anant Raj are supporting the transition from vision to action while advancing the summit’s “Planet” and “Progress” principles – ensuring AI growth is both environmentally responsible and broadly accessible.
