NSE Leases Prime BKC Land as MMRDA Offers Nine More Plots for Lease

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has leased over 1.1 lakh sq ft of prime land in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for 80 years at a total cost of 1,684 crore. Meanwhile, MMRDA has put nine additional plots in BKC's G block on lease, aiming to raise over 9,200 crore. Despite BKC's prime status, some residential plots have seen limited interest, attributed to high reserve prices and geopolitical uncertainties.
