The Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India (MSE) has chosen an NTT Global Data Centers facility in Mumbai to host its trading platform, leasing 6.4 megawatts of capacity at the company’s Chandivali campus as part of a broader relaunch initiative. The move marks a significant step in MSE’s efforts to modernize its technology infrastructure and support multi-asset trading across capital markets, derivatives, and debt.
The high-density IT deployment at NTT’s Chandivali site, described as India’s largest operational data center park, will serve as the backbone for MSE’s upgraded trading system. The campus offers a dense ecosystem of carriers, cloud providers, and financial services firms, with proximity that reduces latency—a critical factor for high-frequency trading and real-time market data dissemination. The facility can support racks with power densities up to 17.2 kilowatts, enabling the high-performance computing required for exchange operations.
“Modern capital markets depend on infrastructure that can deliver both speed and resilience at scale,” said Latika S. Kundu, Managing Director and CEO of MSE. “This partnership enables us to accelerate our technology roadmap, enhance market efficiency, and provide a robust platform for brokers, institutional participants, and investors.”
The selection underscores the growing importance of colocation in financial services, where exchanges and trading firms increasingly rely on specialized data center providers to ensure low-latency connectivity and operational reliability. Stock exchanges represent some of the most mission-critical infrastructure in any economy, and the decision to partner with NTT aligns with MSE’s goal of building a future-ready trading platform capable of scaling with India’s rapidly expanding financial markets.
“We are proud to support MSE as it builds a high-performance, future-ready trading platform that can scale with India’s rapidly growing financial markets,” said Vimal Kaw, Vice President and Country Managing Director for India at NTT Global Data Centers.
NTT has maintained a strong presence in India since acquiring local provider NetMagic in 2012. The company now operates or has in development more than 18 data centers across the country, totaling over 265 megawatts of capacity. These facilities span the Noida area of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. The Chandivali campus, located in Mumbai’s Andheri East district, is a key part of NTT’s regional portfolio, and the company acquired an additional facility in the Balaji IT Park area earlier this year.
