The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has revealed the architectural design of its proposed new headquarters in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The exchange conducted the bhoomi pujan ceremony for the project on November 3, marking a key step ahead of the commencement of construction.
Designed by renowned architect Hafeez Contractor, the proposed office building will come up on plots C-81 and C-82 in BKC's G Block, spanning approximately 10,995 square metres. The land has been allotted to NSE by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) on an 80-year lease.
The bhoomi pujan ceremony was attended by NSE Chairperson Srinivas Injeti, Managing Director and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan, along with members of the exchange's board and senior leadership team.
The architectural rendering showcases an angular structure featuring an upper section that extends outward above a glass-fronted base. Its facade incorporates horizontal bands in saffron, white and green, reflecting the colours of the Indian national flag. The building is also depicted illuminated at night.
At the ground level, the design features a globe-shaped installation displaying a map of India alongside the NSE logo.
