Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant Files Leaked? Reliance Confirms Partial Data Breach, Probe Underway

Ransomware group World Leaks published thousands of files allegedly linked to the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, including blueprints, supplier info, and inspection records.

Reliance Group confirmed a partial data breach of a server hosted by Yotta and informed authorities; leaked files date between 2016 and mid-2025.

The breach involves data from Reliance Infrastructure's contract for Unit 3 and Unit 4 of the Kudankulam project, expected to add 2,000 MW by 2027.

CERT-In is investigating; NPCIL is in contact with Reliance; leaked documents include blueprints for cooling systems, control room layout, and an insurance policy covering terror losses up to $112 million.

Experts warn the leak could allow malicious actors to map support systems and identify weaknesses in the plant's security chain.
