NSE Leases Two BKC Plots from MMRDA for ₹1,684 Crore on 80-Year Term

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has secured an 80-year lease for two amalgamated plots (C-81 and C-82) in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for a total lease premium of approximately ₹1,684 crore. The combined land area is about 10,995 sq m (1.1 lakh sq ft) with a permissible built-up area of nearly 4.7 lakh sq ft. The transaction, registered in May 2026, includes a stamp duty payment of ₹75.79 crore. Meanwhile, MMRDA has also put nine other BKC plots on lease, targeting revenues over ₹9,200 crore, though residential plots have seen limited interest due to high reserve prices.
