NSE unveils architectural design for new Mumbai headquarters in BKC
The National Stock Exchange of India has revealed plans for a new office building designed by Hafeez Contractor.
The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has unveiled the architectural design for its proposed new headquarters in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The exchange conducted a bhoomi pujan ceremony for the project on November 3, according to reports by Mint and India Today.
The proposed building, designed by architect Hafeez Contractor, will be situated on plots C-81 and C-82 in BKC's G Block. The land, spanning approximately 10,995 square metres, was allotted to the NSE by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) on an 80-year lease. The land allotment reportedly involved a combined premium of around Rs 1,684 crore.
The architectural rendering features an angular structure with a glass-fronted base and a facade incorporating horizontal bands in saffron, white, and green. At the ground level, the design includes a globe-shaped installation displaying a map of India and the NSE logo.
The exchange stated the development aims to support its long-term growth and expansion. Proposed interior spaces include a public atrium, an experience centre, a dedicated listing hall, and a market surveillance room.
The bhoomi pujan ceremony was attended by NSE Chairperson Srinivas Injeti, Managing Director and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan, and other members of the board and senior leadership. The exchange has not yet shared details regarding the construction cost or the completion timeline.
