A delegation led by NADA Chairman Dhruba Thapa has met with the Hon'ble Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba to discuss the ban on the import of private vehicles.
During the meeting, Prime Minister Deuba was positive about lifting the ban on the import of private vehicles. He also suggested vehicle importers reduce the growing trade deficit by setting up an electric vehicle assembling plant in Nepal.
During the meeting and discussion, Chairman Thapa said that out of thousands of goods imported into the country, only vehicles such as cars, jeeps and vans contribute more than double the revenue compared to imports. He also said that the share of automobiles in the country's growing trade and balance of payments deficit was very small but its revenue contribution was very high.
In this context, Chairman Thapa had requested to open the ban before the upcoming NADA Auto Expo which is taking place between August 23- 28, 2022 (Bhadra 7- Bhadra 12, 2079 B.S.). The 15th edition of the NADA Auto Show will showcase four-wheelers, two-wheelers, garage and auto components, commercial vehicles, and electric two-wheelers.Vice President Sunil Rijal, Treasurer Milan Babu Malla and Central Working Committee members Akash Golchha and Kapil Shivakoti were also present at the meeting and discussion.
