NSE

The National Stock Exchange of India has released the architectural plans for a new corporate building it intends to construct in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex.

Before breaking ground, the exchange conducted a traditional bhoomi pujan ceremony at the site on November 3, which was attended by NSE Chairperson Srinivas Injeti, MD and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan, and other board and leadership members.

The building, created by architect Hafeez Contractor, is to come up on plots C-81 and C-82 within BKC's G Block, spanning roughly 10,995 square metres of land that MMRDA has leased to NSE for 80 years.

A video released alongside the announcement shows an angular glass-fronted structure with a large illuminated globe bearing the NSE logo near the main entrance, along with landscaped grounds and separate entry points for staff and visitors.

Inside, the plans include a wide reception area, a multi-level public atrium meant to double as an experience centre, and a hall for listing ceremonies fitted with a big screen and a central stage. The layout also allows for naturally lit work areas for employees and a dedicated room where exchange staff can monitor market activity across several screens.

NSE says the new premises are meant to back its expansion plans over the long run, reflecting the exchange's growing scale of operations.
