The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has revealed the architectural design of its proposed new headquarters in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), providing a glimpse of a building that could become a prominent landmark in the city's financial hub.
The proposed structure has been designed by well-known architect Hafeez Contractor. According to NSE, the building is intended to represent innovation, ambition and India's expanding role in international financial markets.
Sharing the design on X, the exchange declared, "A new landmark is set to redefine Mumbai's skyline!"
NSE described the project as a forward-looking vision that reflects its ambitions as India's financial markets continue to expand.
WHERE WILL NSE'S NEW HEADQUARTERS COME UP?
The new headquarters is planned for plots C-81 and C-82 in Block G of Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex, a major financial and commercial centre.
The two plots cover approximately 10,995 square metres and were allotted to NSE by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) under an 80-year lease arrangement.
The land allotment reportedly involved a combined premium of approximately Rs 1,684 crore.
WHO HAS DESIGNED THE BUILDING?
The architectural plans have been developed by Hafeez Contractor, one of India's most prominent architects. NSE said the design aims to capture the spirit of innovation and ambition while highlighting the country's increasing importance in global financial markets.
However, the exchange has not disclosed the estimated construction expenditure, total built-up area or expected completion date of the project.
NSE currently operates from Exchange Plaza, also situated in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex. The exchange has been considering a move to new premises as part of its long-term expansion strategy.
According to earlier reports, the existing Exchange Plaza building is expected to be converted into a dedicated data centre and an event venue.
The release of the architectural design represents an important step in NSE's plans to establish a new headquarters in Mumbai's financial district.
