Nagpur Power & Industries Halts Trading April 1 for FY26 Results
Nagpur Power and Industries Limited announced that its trading window for company insiders will close from April 1, 2026. This measure, mandated by SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, affects directors, Key Managerial Personnel (KMPs), designated employees, and their immediate relatives. The window is expected to reopen 48 hours after the company releases its audited financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.
Ensuring Fair Disclosure
This closure is a standard practice aimed at preventing insider trading. It ensures that individuals with access to unpublished price-sensitive information cannot trade in the company's stock before the information is public, thereby safeguarding market integrity and fair disclosure for all investors. Violations of insider trading rules can lead to significant penalties from SEBI.
Company Profile and Compliance History
Established in 1996, Nagpur Power and Industries Limited focuses on producing ferro manganese and silico manganese slag.

Industry Comparison
