The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has unveiled the architectural design of its proposed headquarters in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), marking a significant step towards the development of a new office campus to support its long-term expansion plans.
The exchange held a groundbreaking ceremony ahead of the commencement of construction at plots C-81 and C-82 in Block G. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has allotted the two plots to NSE on an 80-year lease.
Renowned architect Hafeez Contractor has been appointed to design the new building. NSE Chairman Srinivas Injeti, Managing Director and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan, members of the board and senior management representatives attended the ceremony, where the proposed design was formally presented.
The planned headquarters will feature a distinctive angular architectural form, with a glass exterior and landscaped open spaces. A large blue globe bearing the NSE logo is proposed near the main entrance. Separate drop-off facilities will be created for visitors and employees to ensure smoother access to the premises.
The building’s interiors are expected to include a spacious reception area, a public atrium and an experience centre, with open layouts, multiple levels and landscaped elements. A dedicated listing hall will also form part of the facility, featuring large display screens, seating arrangements and a central presentation area.
Office spaces will be equipped with workstations and expansive windows. Another key component will be a dedicated market surveillance room, fitted with multiple screens and monitoring desks to oversee market activity.
The proposed campus will also incorporate open corridors, visitor reception areas and designated spaces for employees and guests. Architectural presentations and videos released during the event offered a preview of the building’s planned exterior and interior features.
The new BKC headquarters is intended to provide NSE with modern infrastructure and facilities as it prepares for its future operational requirements and organisational growth.
