Nucleus Software Exports Limited has closed its trading window for promoters, directors, and designated persons effective July 01, 2026, to prevent insider trading. The restriction will remain in force until 48 hours after the announcement of the company's financial results to the stock exchanges.

This aligns with regulatory requirements designed to maintain market integrity and prevent the misuse of unpublished price-sensitive information.
