NSE Acquires BKC Land for ₹1,684 Crore Through 80-Year Lease

As per ET reports, National Stock Exchange of India has acquired a prime land parcel in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex through an 80-year lease agreement from Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).

The transaction involves amalgamated plots C-81 and C-82 located in the G Block of BKC, one of India’s most premium commercial districts. The total lease premium for the land parcels stands at ₹1,684 crore.

The combined land parcel spans around 2.7 acres and offers a maximum permissible built-up area of approximately 4.7 lakh square feet.

Strategic Expansion Plans

According to ET reports, NSE plans to shift its headquarters to the newly acquired land parcel while converting its existing headquarters, Exchange Plaza, into a large captive data centre.

The exchange’s current headquarters in BKC covers around 1.83 lakh square feet and serves as the operational hub of India’s largest stock exchange.

The new acquisition is expected to strengthen NSE’s long-term infrastructure capabilities while supporting future expansion plans in Mumbai’s financial district.

Details of the Transaction

The lease premium for the land parcel translates to nearly ₹3.87 lakh per square metre. The transaction also attracted stamp duty of ₹75.79 crore, according to property documents accessed through Propstack.

The first plot, measuring around 1.36 acres, was initially acquired in March 2025 for ₹757.90 crore. However, the lease premium was later revised upward to ₹833.69 crore in October 2025.

The second plot was allotted to NSE in December 2025 for ₹850.62 crore, taking the total transaction value to ₹1,684 crore.

BKC Continues to Attract Financial Institutions

BKC has emerged as one of Mumbai’s most sought-after business districts due to its strategic location, infrastructure, and concentration of financial institutions, multinational companies, regulators, and consulates.

The district has witnessed significant appreciation in commercial land prices over recent years amid limited supply and sustained institutional demand.

MMRDA has continued monetising land parcels in the region through long-term lease arrangements, generating substantial revenues for infrastructure development across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
