Hello @Aman Sidhu ,

As mentioned by @Vidya Narasimhan , an existing NSG cannot be renamed. You can create a new NSG & associate it with a NIC/Subnet.

The most common changes that can be done on an existing NSG are to add a security rule, remove a rule, and associate or dissociate a network security group to or from a subnet or network interface.
Refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/manage-network-security-group#change-a-network-security-group

Kindly let us know if the below helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
