Walchandnagar Industries Limited (WALCHANNAG) has responded to the National Stock Exchange's (NSE) query regarding a significant increase in its share price on December 22, 2025. The company stated that it consistently discloses all material information impacting its operations and performance, in compliance with SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. WALCHANNAG highlighted the recent passage of The Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, 2025, by both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on December 17 and December 18, 2025, respectively. This bill introduces significant policy reforms in India's nuclear energy sector, including allowing private sector participation, strengthening regulatory frameworks, and revising the nuclear liability regime. The company believes these reforms will positively impact the nuclear energy sector by encouraging greater private sector involvement. Given Walchandnagar Industries' extensive experience and expertise in manufacturing critical equipment for nuclear plants, it anticipates benefiting from the growth opportunities arising from these policy changes. Apart from the potential benefits from the SHANTI Bill, the company stated it is unaware of any other specific reasons for the significant increase in its share price, attributing the movement to market-driven factors. WALCHANNAG affirmed that there is no undisclosed price-sensitive information or pending announcement that requires immediate disclosure to the exchanges.
