The National Stock Exchange (NSE) plans to convert its iconic headquarters in Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) into a large captive data center. The exchange will relocate to a newly allotted site in G Block of BKC, where it will build a new, consolidated headquarters. This move comes as part of NSE’s growth strategy to accommodate its expanding operations.
The Maharashtra government, through the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), has allocated a prime land parcel of over an acre in G Block to NSE on a long-term lease of more than 80 years. This new office is expected to be completed within three years after obtaining the necessary approvals.
NSE’s current headquarters, located at Exchange Plaza, spans approximately 183,000 square feet and has been a key part of Mumbai’s financial district for years. However, as part of its expansion, NSE has already leased nearly 175,000 square feet of office space in the Adani Inspire tower in BKC and operates from two other locations, including a commercial complex in Ghatkopar and Equinox Business Park.
The new headquarters will consolidate all of NSE’s operations, including its critical information technology division, under one roof. This transformation reflects the NSE’s ambitions to adapt to its rapid growth and the evolving needs of India’s largest stock exchange.
NSE, which began operations in 1994, has grown to become one of the largest stock exchanges globally, with a dominant presence in derivatives trading and market capitalization.
