A new artistic jewel graces Mumbai’s cultural scene: the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC). This first-of-its-kind, multi-disciplinary space is a vibrant platform designed to ignite artistic curiosity within the community. Strategically located in the heart of Bandra Kurla Complex, in Mumbai, the NMACC serves as a grand stage for showcasing India’s art and culture at its finest, for both artists and audiences.
More than just a modern interpretation of Indian design, the NMACC embodies the nation’s rich heritage. Inspired by its art, craft, and people, the sprawling spaces exude a sense of openness. Built on a foundation of strong design language, the centre is a visual feast featuring traditional lotus motifs, semi-precious stones, intricate jaali work, and all bathed in lush jewel tones. It fosters a strong connection between the community and various art forms, forging a bridge between past and present.
According to structural consultant, Dineshchandra P Bhaud, General Manager, STERLING ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY SERVICES PVT LTD , the NMACC’s design brief was a clear vision: to create a platform that not only celebrates established Indian arts and culture but aspires to be the grand stage for its future.

Thinking Outside the Box
NMACC also boasts India’s first international theatre – the awe-inspiring Grand Theatre. This marvel can accommodate a 2,000-strong audience and features a large orchestra pit fit for a staggering 80 musicians. But the magic goes beyond the grand scale; the theatre’s success hinges on meticulous engineering.
The construction process began with the creation of a sturdy foundation. Towering 600 mm thick RCC walls were cast first, forming a robust box structure. Next came the feat of erecting a 40 m spanning roof truss.
Steel played a vital role throughout the project. A staggering 2,000 MT of structural steel were fabricated, customised, and detailed to meet both the functional and aesthetic requirements of the Grand Theatre.
From conception to completion, the Grand Theatre rose in just two years – a testament to the dedication and expertise of those involved. The use of structural steel was crucial in meeting this ambitious timeline. Steel’s inherent strength allowed for large spans and intricate detailing, ensuring both structural integrity and visual appeal.
