The Nuclear Power Corporation of India later said the data breach did not reveal any sensitive information related to nuclear security.<\/p>\n

Reliance did not disclose what data had been breached.<\/p>\n

Nearly 19,000 files totalling 14.3 gigabytes that appear for the search term \u201cKKNP\u201d \u2013 an acronym for the nuclear plant \u2013 in the data have been online since June 11 , according to independent cybersecurity researcher Rakesh Krishnan, who first alerted Reuters to the leak.<\/p>\n

Reuters reviewed the documents, which were dated from 2016 to mid-2025, but could not verify their authenticity.<\/p>\n

In addition to some blueprints and supplier details, they purportedly show meeting and inspection records, equipment reviews and insurance policies.<\/p>\n

The 19,000 files appeared to be the most sensitive of 858,000 Reliance files on \u200c\u200cthe World Leaks website.<\/p>\n
