Nepal - 1 Country Profile
Generic Information
Nepal, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country located along the Himalayas and bordered to the north by China and to the south, east, and west by India. With an area of 147,181 square kilometres (56,827 square miles) and a population of approximately 29.16 million (as per the 2021 census report (cbs.gov.np), Nepal is the world's 95th country by size and the 49th most populous country. Nepal is separated from Bangladesh by the narrow Indian Siliguri Corridor and from Bhutan by the Indian state Sikkim.
Kathmandu is the nation's capital city and largest city. The mountainous north of Nepal which acts as natural border to China has eight of the world's tallest mountains, including the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest (Nepali: The Sagarmāthā). The plains of the Terai region are fertile and humid. And the mid-geographical hilly region between mountainous north and plains of Terai comprises 68% of the total land area of the country. The extreme variations in topography within a short distance from the world’s highest peaks in the North to flat lands in the South, presents great logistics infrastructure challenges.
On September 20, 2015 a new constitution established Nepal as a three-tiered federal democratic country (previously, one centralized authority) with seven provinces:
-
Central or Federal Government based in Kathmandu, the capital.
-
Seven Provincial Governments with 77 districts.
-
753 Local Governments which include six Metropolitan Cities (Mahanagarpalika), 11 Sub Metropolitan Cities (Upa-Mahanagarpalika), 276 Municipalities (Nagarpalika) and 460 Rural Municipalities (Gaunpalika).
In terms of administrative divisions, each province is composed of 8 to 14 districts. The local level is composed of wards. There are 6,743 wards in total.
The table below shows the population based on the census 2021, however, the total population as per the recent data in Worldometers (https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/nepal-population/) is 31 million.

Occurs |
Comments / Details |
|
Drought |
Yes |
In 1994, Nepal witnessed the worst drought in its history that affected 35 districts of western hilly and plain lands of Terai regions. Western Nepal has experienced consecutive and worsening winter drought conditions since 2000, culminating in a severe drought episode during 2008/09 |
|
Earthquakes |
Yes |
Nepal lies in one of the most seismically active regions of the world and has a long history of seismic events in the past, major being the 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake (8 magnitude), the 1988 Nepal earthquake (6.9 magnitude), and the 2015 Gorkha earthquake (7.8 magnitude). On 3 November 2023, at local time 23:47 hrs, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, with an epicentre in Jajarkot district of Karnali Province. Historically, there has been dangerous seismic activity every 70 to 100 years in Nepal. Use of scenario ensembles for deriving seismic risk, research carried out by the Department of Geography at Durham University shows that the most at-risk districts are in rural western Nepal. |
|
Epidemics |
Yes |
Malaria, Cholera and gastroenteritis are endemic in all regions of the country. During the rainy season, the possibility of breakouts of all three diseases is very high. The largest cholera outbreak, with more than 30,000 people affected, was in the Western Nepal in 2009.
Sporadic incidence of dengue was first recorded in 2004 in different regions of Nepal. Since then, cases of dengue have risen drastically, the total confirmed cases of dengue in 2022 were 54,784 with 88 deaths. As of 7 Aug 2023, the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division of the Ministry of Health and Population, Nepal has recorded 9411 confirmed cases of dengue, Sunsari district of Koshi Province is highly affected this year with 5041 confirmed cases. (Situation-updates-7-August-2023.pdf (dohs.gov.np)
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on Nepal, leading to 12,031 reported deaths. To control the virus’s spread, the government instituted a nationwide lockdown for five months starting from March 24, 2020, and another two-month lockdown beginning on April 29, 2021. While the spread of the virus is now under control, few cases of a new variant of the coronavirus, JN.1, have been reported in early 2024. |
|
Extreme Temperatures |
Yes |
Due to the extreme elevation changes within Nepal, there are major temperature differences. The plains of Terai bordering India, can experience very high temperatures up to 46°C in May and down to 7°C in January. Average temperatures in Nepal drop 6°C for every 1,000m gained in altitude.
Heat waves from May to July, cold waves during November to January affects the daily lives of people in the plain lands of Terai region. Also, a constant thick fog during November-January in the plain lands of Terai regularly obstruct flights and road transport. During cold waves, vulnerable and disadvantaged population in the plain lands of Terai suffer from cold-related diseases (cold, flu and pneumonia) in large numbers and cold wave related deaths increase. |
|
Flooding |
Yes |
More than 6,000 rivers and rivulets flowing from north to south pose a varying degree of threat across the nation. Koshi in the east, Narayani in central, and Karnali and Mahakali in the west are perennial rivers who swell during the months of monsoon (June-September) and cause damage in river basins along their path. The problem of flooding and inundation is an annual risk during the monsoon and its impact on life and economy is always high. In the 2023 monsoon period, 92 people lost their lives in natural disaster-related incidents across the country. Similarly, 30 people have gone missing, and 168 sustained injuries in such incidents.

|
Insect Infestation |
No |
The first recorded incidence of Locusts entering Nepal was in 1962 and then in 1996. Towards the end of June 2020, some swarms were seen in the fields of the central plains of Terai region. |
|
Mudslides |
Yes |
Landslides are a frequent natural hazard in the hilly regions of Nepal. Both natural and human induced landslides due to steep slopes, fragile geology, high intensity of rainfall, deforestation, unplanned settlements, and roads are the major causes of landslide. The hilly districts of Nepal located in the Siwalik, Mahabharat range, Mid-land, and higher Himalayas are more susceptible to landslide |

Wildfires |
Yes |
A major hazard risk, besides flood, in plain lands of Terai region is seasonal wildfire and fire in community during the dry season (March-May). Wildfire poses major threat to forests of Nepal. The worst forest fire in recent times was recorded in 2009 when 49 people, including 13 Nepal Army personnel, died in Ramechhap district while fighting wildfire. Wildfires occur mostly in the forests of mid-hills and some events are recorded in the plain lands of Terai on a regular basis during dry season. A total of 1,816 incidents of forest fire were reported in 2023, a dramatic increase of 76.5% as compared to the previous year. Source: New fire risk system for Nepal - SERVIR-HKH (icimod.org) |
|
High Winds |
Yes |
High winds with lightning and hailstone are seasonal hazards that occur during March, April, and May (pre-monsoon events) leading to loss of life, livestock, and agriculture crops. On 31 March 2019 a tornado caused 29 death and 1985 houses damaged in Bara and Parsa districts in Madhesh Province. |
|
Lightning Strikes |
Yes |
Lightning and thunderbolt related casualties are high in Nepal. Nepal tops the list of countries with the most lightning fatalities per unit area. The cases of lightning related casualties are overlooked because they tend to be isolated events with a relatively small number of casualties. (Source: ReliefWeb) |

The general situation in the country remains relatively calm. However, in recent months some street protests involving religious groups were reported in different cities of Nepal. The district administration office had imposed curfews to bring the situation under control. |
|
International Conflict |
No |
Nepal has maintained amicable relations with its neighbours and other nations. However, the border dispute with India has remained unresolved in Susta and Kalapani regions. |
|
Internally Displaced Persons |
Yes |
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) data estimates around 93000 persons were internally displaced in Nepal in 2022. The figure refers mostly to internal displacements triggered by floods during the monsoon season and the 6.3 magnitude Doti earthquake in November 2022. Source: (internal-displacement.org) |
|
Refugees Present |
Yes |
Nepal currently hosts around 20,000 refugees, including those from Tibet, Bhutan, and other states. The main arrivals of refugees took place in 1959 with an influx from Tibet, and again in 1990/1991 with an influx from Bhutan. Between 2007 and 2016 more than 113,500 Bhutanese refugees were resettled to eight different countries. Source: Nepal | UNHCR |

Seasonal Effects on Logistics Capacities
Climate and Weather
Nepal's climate ranges from sub-tropical to arctic depending upon the altitude. The plain lands of Terai region have a hot and humid climate, the average temperature in summer is 40°C and 7° in winter. The mid-hill region is pleasant almost the year-round, in summer the average temperature is 28°C while in winter the average temperature is 7°C during day and falls below freezing at night. The northern mountainous region, at an altitude 3,353 m and above, has an alpine climate with considerably lower temperatures up to -18°C in winter and -2°C in summer.
In 2023, because of El Nino, Nepal during the summer received 11% less rainfall, reducing the agricultural production, mainly paddy. El Nino is continuing and expected that it remains still stronger till April 2024.
Monsoon: The monsoon (June to September) of Nepal creates two distinct wet and dry seasons. Wet days of summer are monsoon days. Most of the rainfall in Nepal occurs during the monsoon in summer, with the rest of the year being dry.
Summer: Summer (May to August), is the hottest season in Nepal. Hot but dry days are more comfortable than monsoon days which are hot and humid.
Autumn: Autumn (September to November), begins with the end of the monsoon season and ends with beginning of winter in November. It is also a festival season.
Winter: Winter (November through February) days are dry with few rains. A typical day in the Kathmandu valley in the winter season is as warm as 20° C on a sunny day but night temperatures fall below freezing.
Spring: Spring (February to April) begins with occasional showers and rain. The days are mild and can be a little hazy if there are no showers for a long period.
Air Quality: The air quality in Nepal is average, but it tends to get worse when there is less or no rainfall, the average Air Quality Index (AQI) for Nepal in 2022 was 112, which is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Comments / Details |
|
Primary Road Transport |
June-September
|
The national highway in the country Mahendra Highway runs across the Plain lands of Terai region from east to west of the country. The highway, which is 1,028 kilometres in length is mostly single lane in each direction. Bridges and crossings along the highway are regularly damaged because of seasonal monsoon floods. |
|
Secondary Road Transport |
June-September
|
Postal Highway in plain lands of Terai, Middle hill Highway in Hills, and other local and urban roads in both plain lands of Terai and Hills which comprises secondary road transport are connected to main Highways. Landslides and poor road conditions are a major problem for the secondary roads. Heavy rains cause numerous landslides and cut off remote areas during the monsoon. The economic impact of this is huge as farmlands, houses and pastures can be inaccessible or are lost. |
|
Rail Transport |
All Seasons |
The only passenger train service in Nepal is operated by Nepal Railway between Jainagar in India to Bhangaha (Dhanusa) in Nepal (Madesh Province). It covers 52 KM between the two stations. Nepal also has two other rail connectivity with India that are used for cargo transport. A 6 KM long broad-gauge track connects Indian town of Raxaul to Birgunj ICD in Nepal and an eight KM track connects Bathnaha of India to Biratnagar ICD in Nepal. (Ref: 2.4 Nepal Railway Assessment)
|
|
Air Transport |
July- August; October-January
|
Flood, Inundation, and low visibility, especially during monsoon and winter season in the plain lands of Terai and during afternoon in the mountains, often render airports inaccessible. Inadequate infrastructure and absence of Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), limit the use of these airports during fogs and overcast weather and heavy wind conditions. Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and Gautam Buddha International Airport in Bhairahawa can accommodate large aircrafts (A330 types). Pokhara International Airport is suitable for narrow body aircrafts (A320 types). |

Comments / Details |
|
Storage |
June - September |
Lack of essential goods can become a major issue during the monsoon season when certain roads are impassable due to landslides. In hill and mountainous areas, it’s advisable to pre-position goods in anticipation of road obstructions. A lack of organized, dedicated warehousing facilities in the country is a logistics challenge. Temporary arrangements can be made by using residential houses for storage |
|
Handling |
June -September |
Frequent rain slows down handling work during the monsoon season. |
|
Import, Customs clearance |
October/November
December-April
|
Congestion at Birgunj. Customs clearance certificates are usually issued to cargo only after 6:00pm from Birgunj Customs office. The cargo truck which enter ICP in the daytime have to hold until 6pm for exiting the customs office premises. This leads to congestion at the gate and ICP premises throughout the day. Also, importers who do not have their warehouses outside of the ICP premises tend to delay the customs clearance procedures in order to tranship their cargo from truck to truck without having to store their goods in a warehouse and pay additional charges (warehouse charge if store in ICP warehouse). Therefore, the parking bay is full most of the time. The exit road is also congested due to trucks standing in queue for the whole day until six pm. These are the factors causing congestion at the ICP. The lack of funds available to importers to pay the tariff for immediate imported goods and they take time to manages fund also leads to congestion at dry ports and ICPs. Earlier, one gate was operational and now two gates are in operation, one is for containers and the other for bagged containers of iron, steel, loose cargo, and coal, causing congestion at the exit point. During COVID-19, only medical goods were imported into Nepal in containers and there were no export goods. Medical supplies were delivered to across the country and empty containers returned to ICD and filled open space, but no steps were taken to dispatch the empty container from the ICD area. The train does not come only to carry that empty container. There is no one to bear the cost and there is no goods to be exported using these containers. This is also another cause of container congestion in the dry port. An area of 10000 sqm is under construction process for the Customs Inspection section. Also, during the major festival season in October/November ports and customs points tend to get busier due to high imports for the festivities. Congestion at Kolkata Port. Kolkata port can process an average of 107,842 TEU per month or 3,595 per day. However, this may vary depending on the season, weather, and other factors. However, congestion at Kolkata port can be caused by congestion in Nepali dry ports due to backlog containers. Due to the lack of rakes, the surging volume of imported goods during the festive season, and the reluctance of the Container Corporation to add the required number of racks to deliver imported goods on time. In case of prolonged delays in containers not being emptied and returned, this can suddenly congest the port in Kolkata if they receive backlogged containers all at once. Also, isolated issues like restrictions imposed by local government bodies on goods vehicle movement congest Kolkata dry port however these events are not seasonal. Haldia Dock System (HDC) at the Port of Kolkota is not a deep water port, which compels deep water vessels to tranship cargo in smaller feeder vessels in Singapore / Sri Lanka before it can be sent to Kolkota. Thus, a larger number of smaller vessels entering the ports increases the chance of congestion. Also due to the low water level, which reduces maximum draught and therefore load capacity per ship, from December to April, Kolkata port tends to be congested. |
Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
GOVERNMENT
The lead ministry for disaster preparedness and response at the federal level is the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), within which operates the Disaster Preparedness and Response Section (NEOC). Whereas, at the provincial level the lead ministries are the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law of the province, within which operates the Provincial Emergency Operation Center (PEOC) at the provincial level and the District Emergency Operation Center (DEOC) at the district level. A National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) is set-up to operate under the MOHA. The main responsibility of NDRRMA is to operate and manage activities related to disaster management in an effective manner.
In 1982 the Natural Disaster Relief Act (NDRA) was formulated which was superseded by the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Act, 2017. The DRRM Act along with Local Government Operation Act (LGOA) 2017 provides the framework for all levels of government to work together on disaster risk reduction and response. The DRRM Act, 2017 has designated the National Council for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (NCDRRM) under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister to discharge disaster-related functions effectively. There is an executive committee to implement policies and plans formulated by the council, chaired by the Home Minister.

Diagram: National disaster response mechanism without Foreign Support |
The constitution of Nepal mandated the Nepal Army (NA) to mobilize to respond to any disaster situation. The Nepal Police (NP) and Armed Police Force (APF) are also mandated by law to respond to any disaster situation, primarily and most importantly for search and rescue in the first critical hours.
National Framework for Disaster Response
1. Upon the receipt of disaster/potential disaster information from the districts or local level, the following lead agencies shall carry out the operational activities.
2. CNDRC, RDRC and DDRC shall organize an emergency meeting in coordination with Government agencies, International and national NGOs as per the need.
3. Emergency operation centers at national, provinicial, district and municipality level shall coordinate with different relevant organizations to make disaster response activities effective.
4. Within the respective mandate and scope, the following relevant organizations including the Disaster Management Division of MoHA, shall work as support agencies in disaster response management: CNDRC members; Ministry of Finance, Foreign Affairs, Defense, Health and Population, Federal Affairs and Local Development, Agricultural Development; NHRC; Social Welfare Council; Department of Immigration, Waterborne Disaster Control, Health Service, Livestock, Hydrology and Meteorology, Road, Urban Development and Building Construction, Drug Management; National Seismological Centre; Waste Management Centre; National Trauma Centre; Nepalese Army; Nepal Police; Armed Police Force; Fire Brigade Office; Search and Rescue Team, RDRC/DDRC; DDCs; Local level Government Offices; Civil Aviation Authority; Nepal Food Corporation; and other concerned Ministries, Departments and Governmental and Non-Governmental Organization. UN Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator and UN agencies (UNDP, UNICEF, WHO, WFP, FAO, UNFPA, UNOCHA, IOM, UNHABITAT, UNHCR, UNDSS); relevant Clusters; multinational Organizations; ICIMOD; Diplomatic Missions; SAARC; INGOs, Red Cross movements; International Civil Aviation Organization.
In the federal government, several departments have been formed under different ministries to enhance capacity for response, preparedness, and risk reduction. The provincial government coordinates between federal and local governments. The local government works directly with communities at all points of the disaster management cycle, from mitigation to resettlement, as mandated by the Local Government Operation Act 2017. The act has also mandated the establishment and operation of disaster management funds and the mobilization of resources. Furthermore, the endorsement of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act 2017 has mandated the formation of a national council, executive committee, and authority, as well as the delineation of roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities for disaster management. Subsequently, structures at the provincial and local levels are also formed. In this new disaster governance framework, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority is crucial in facilitating coordination and collaboration mechanisms among all for comprehensive disaster management.

HUMANITARIAN COUNTRY TEAM and CLUSTER COORDINATION
There are 114 INGOs and 21 UN agencies present in Nepal. The Government of Nepal recognizes the important roles UN, INGOs and national NGOs play in disaster reduction and emergency response and has incorporated them into the overall planning and response process. The humanitarian coordination architecture in Nepal is led-by the Government of Nepal via 11 clusters plus formal inter-cluster working groups on information management, community engagement (accountability to affected populations), cash, and gender in humanitarian action.
Under the guidance of the Resident Coordinator, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) is responsible for the implementation of the international community’s inter-agency disaster preparedness and response activities in Nepal. The HCT Principals consists of representatives of the UN, Cluster Co-leads agencies, representatives from the Association of International NGOs and the Red Cross movement sits at senior levels and sets the strategic direction for the support to Nepal’s humanitarian ecosystem. Key donor partners are included members of the HCT in Nepal to strengthen coordination and information sharing, and to facilitate resource mobilization.
In accordance with the direction of the HCT Principals, Cluster Co-leads and humanitarian partners ensure a coordinated response at working-level via the Operational HCT coordination platform. This enables operational engagement of the humanitarian community with the Government of Nepal, the private sector and local NGOs.
Under the leadership of the UN Resident Coordinator, the HCT established the Provincial Coordination Focal Point Agencies (PCFPA) to enable coordinated preparedness and response at sub-national level.

Customs clearance procedure for relief materials (Emergency Response)
The Nepal “Customs clearance procedure for relief materials, 2017” is applicable for customs clearance of humanitarian relief materials to be used in a disaster situation. materials, 2017” is applicable for customs clearance of humanitarian relief materials to be used in a disaster situation.
|
Fast-Track Duties and Taxes Exemption Application Procedure |
|---|
|
Generalities |
|
The following relief materials can be imported for search, rescue and relief:
Relief materials can be imported through the following major customs offices in general:
Note: Besides these major entry points there are other small entry points. Agencies eligible to import relief materials for search, rescue and relief are:
Provision for temporary import of relief materials for the use in search, rescue and relief operations can be granted on the condition of re-export of such goods and maintaining a record of details of the goods. After a disaster or emergency, the Ministry of Home Affairs or Ministry of Finance can issue a directive to waive customs duties and taxes for importation of priority relief items* for a specified time period. Notwithstanding the list above, the government can amend the list to add or delete items, which will be specified in the directive by applicable customs sub-title category and by relief item type. The national logistics cluster will share the customs duty waiver directive with humanitarian agencies. For Fast-Track customs clearance of relief materials, the Government departments involved, and the Customs department will expedite clearance of the relief materials to complete customs clearance within 24 hours or less, round the clock, provided that the customs declaration is complete and complies to the requirements. Clearance will also be done with priority when documents are submitted prior to the arrival of the relief materials. The Fast-Track process has the same steps and document requirements as the regular regime (non-emergency response). In case a national emergency has been declared, a “One-stop shop” may be started, that brings together staff from all the selected government agencies necessary to expedite clearance of humanitarian relief cargo. This was done at Tribhuvan International Airport during the 2015 earthquake relief operations, and during the COVID-19 response. |
|
Process to be followed |
Documents to be submitted for the Customs declaration:
When immediate release of the goods is required imported by the UN or its specialized agencies or to be imported on the recommendation of Ministry of Foreign Affairs or imported on behalf of Government, the same shall be permitted even if temporary or incomplete declaration is made, provided the required documents are submitted and the necessary Customs procedures are complied with, within 30 days of the release of the goods.
|
As per the OCHA Model agreement, which was signed on 31 May 2007, the government shall do the following regarding the importation of disaster relief supplies during a national emergency:
-
Waive of import duties and taxes for priority relief items* imported by the UN agencies or organisations (I/NGO’s) involved in UN disaster relief operations for distribution free of charge to victims of the disaster in Nepal.
-
Facilitates the issuance of transit visa for inland cargo transport and port facilities clearance of relief consignments coming to Nepal via India with the Government of India.
-
Facilitates importation or temporary admission of equipment and disaster relief personnel for disaster relief operations.
-
Makes arrangements to release promptly the maximum number of relief consignments after arrival, upon presentation of provisional entry documents, subject to fulfillment of customs and other requirements within a specified time limit.
As per the Tampere Convention, which was signed on 23 April 1999, the Government of Nepal will facilitate the provision of prompt telecommunication assistance to mitigate the impact of a disaster. Regulatory barriers that impede the use of telecommunication resources for disasters are waived. These barriers include the licensing requirements to use allocated frequencies, restrictions on the import of telecommunication equipment, as well as limitations on the movement of humanitarian teams.
* List of Humanitarian Priority Items: As of 2019, the Government of Nepal, Ministry of Home Affairs is working to update the list of humanitarian priority items for relief operations in Nepal. During large-scale emergencies, if a national emergency is declared and international assistance has been requested by the Nepal government, the government can issue a directive to waive customs duties and taxes for importation of the priority relief items listed for a specified time period.
Transit Regime
The majority of Nepal’s imported goods are shipped through the ports of India, namely Kolkata, and the information contained in this section applies to this transit regime.
-
All cargo documents for clearing should be filed with the shipping line, port authority, and customs authorities for clearing and possession of cargo.
-
Cargo is unloaded from the ship by the port authorities. If the cargo is in containers and these are not to be forwarded to the Indo-Nepal border, then de-stuffing is done at the port at the cost of the importer.
-
The shipping line gives possession of the cargo to the importer's clearing and forwarding agent after examining the original Bill of Lading and all shipping documents.
-
The importer's clearing agent gets the cargo appraised by Indian customs authorities who open the container(s) and conduct inspection in accordance with the cargo documents (invoice, packing list, etc.) After a satisfactory inspection, customs authorities endorse the import license and other cargo documents and seal the container(s) so that it can be forwarded to the Indo-Nepal border.
-
The importer's clearing agent should obtain a transit insurance policy for the Indian import duty leviable in favour of the Collector of Customs.
-
After completion of these formalities, the Customs authorities issue a Customs Transit Declaration (CTD) form that allows movement of Nepal-bound cargo from the Kolkata Port to the land customs post at the Indo-Nepal border.
-
After the CTD, on request of the clearing agent the shipping line will issue a Delivery Order.
-
An “Undertaking Letter,” one per shipment, is issued by the Nepal Consulate in Kolkata upon request of the importer (or importer’s clearing agent), to indemnify the Nepal Transit & Warehousing Co. Ltd., (NTWC) and Consulate General of Nepal in Kolkata from any loss and shall not be held liable if the consignment is diverted to any other place except Nepal.
-
The cargo goes to the Continental Freight Temporary Storage facility. The rate is $250/day / container. As of 2019, the government of Nepal has built its own Container freight station (CFS) at Kolkata port. This CFS with a capacity to store 500 containers is cheaper as the storage facilities operated by the Kolkata Port.
-
When all documents are ready (undertaking letter, delivery order, CTD, Bill of lading and all shipping documents, the Port Authority issues a gate pass and the container or cargo is ready for transit to Nepal.
-
Transit can be by rail (departs 6 days a week, but during COVID-19 pandemic twice a week) or by road, which is the choice of the importer and importer’s clearing and forwarding agent.
The Nepal Department of Customs (DOC) has graduated its core Customs automation system from ASYCUDA++ to the web-based ASYCUDA World, with assistance from the Asian Development Bank. ASYCUDA world is being used at 24 main customs entry points of Nepal, covering 99.5 percent of the international trade.

Nepal - 2 Logistics Infrastructure
Nepal’s logistics infrastructure is generally perceived as underdeveloped and unreliable with the rugged, mountainous terrain further complicating matters. It is crucial to carefully plan any movement through the road or air network, especially during the monsoon season.
Despite these geographical challenges, Nepal has seen some significant infrastructure development in recent years. A 2.68 KM tunnel is currently under construction on the Prithivi Highway and is expected to be completed by April 2024. This tunnel will provide a safer route for commuters entering and exiting Kathmandu, bypassing an eight-km stretch of road with sharp turns. The expansion of the Butwal-Narayangadh section from the existing two-lane road to six lanes of the East-West highway and the widening of the existing two-lane highway into four lanes of the Muglin-Pokhara section of the Prithivi Highway to four lanes is in progress. Another ongoing Mega Highway Project is the Kathmandu-Terai/Madesh Expressway which is 72.5 km and runs along the Bagmati River corridor, at Sano Khokana, travels through Chhaimale Gausel, Malta, Budune, and Chhatitiwan, and reaches to Nijgadh where it connects with East-West Mahendra Highway by 193 km and saves traveling time by more than four hours. In addition to these projects, local and provincial governments are also focusing on road infrastructure development.
As a landlocked nation, waterways are not a feasible option for the transportation of goods or passengers in Nepal. The country does have three railway lines: the Raxaul–Sirsiya and Bathnaha - Biratnagar lines, which are cargo rail lines, and the Jainagar– Bhangha line, which serves for passenger transport.
In collaboration with the Indian government, Nepal has constructed Integrated Check Posts (ICPs) in Birgunj and Biratnagar, with two additional ICPs in Bhairahawa and Nepalgunj currently under construction. These ICPs, equipped with facilities including customs, quarantine, and warehouses, facilitate easier cross-border trade.
Road Travel
Roads are of poor quality away from the main arterial highways. Bad driving, frequent traffic jams, road blockages caused by landslides or bridge collapses, broken down vehicles, and fuel shortages mean that logistics plans must allow a wide margin of error.
The total road network of Nepal is around 80,078 KM including 26,935 km of roads constructed and maintained by the Department of Roads (DOR) and 53,143 km of roads constructed by the local government. DOR data reflects the total length of National Highways is 11,178.92 KM. The road network is classified in two major groups: Strategic Road Network (SRN) and Local Road Network (LRN). Strategic Road Network (SRN), features featuring eight major north-south and three east-west corridors and assumes a central role in reducing the cost of logistics (including the cost of imports and exports). Mahendra Highway, Postal Highway, and Pushpa Lal Highway traverse east to west of the country, and Tribhuvan Highway, Araniko Highway, Mechi Highway, Koshi Highway, Mahakali Highway, Prithivi Highway, Sagarmatha Highway, Siddhartha Highway are the major highways from south to north. Besides being the major mode of access for passengers and goods, it provides a critical connection to India, the country’s largest trading partner and principal conduit for third-country trade, and China.
(Source: Sector Overview: Road and Transport)
Trade
Located between China in the north and India in the east, west, and south, Nepal’s trade competitiveness suffers from delays when passing through seaports in neighbouring countries, inefficiencies at land border crossings, and limitations on routes for transit cargo. Lack of efficient transit increases the costs of transportation and logistics, pushing up the prices of imported, essential, and nonessential consumer goods, as well as the prices of inputs.
Nepal shares 1770 km long border and 22 border points with India, placing India as the most important trading partner as well as transit for third-country trade. Visakhapatnam Port in Andhra Pradesh and Port of Kolkata in Kolkata are the two seaports from where Nepal brings in or sends goods to third countries. India accounts for over two-third of Nepal’s merchandise trade and almost 100% of petroleum supplies among others.
Trade with China through border points in the North has increased but still is significantly lower compared to trade with India. The Araniko Highway which is part of Asian Highway (AH42) is a major road link between China and Nepal. Nepal signed the Transit Transport Agreement (TTA) with China to boost trade through northern Border. (Source: Project Information Document, Asian Development Bank) As part of the TTA Nepal was granted access to four Chinese seaports at Tianjin, Shenzhen, Lianyungang and Zhanjiang and three dry ports at Lanzhou, Lhasa, and Xigatse. (Source: Ports Open for Nepal) However, since the closest Chinese port is 4,250 km overland distance from Kathmandu, this is not recommended as alternative to importing sea cargo via Kolkota, India.
Supply Chain from India
-
Kolkata
The sea port of Kolkota* is the main entry point for international cargo imported to Nepal. The Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) manages two separate dock agglomerations: Kolkata Dock System (KDS) in the centre of Kolkota and Haldia Dock Complex (HDC) located 80 km South of KDS on the Haldia river, closer to the Bay of Bengal. The main cargo handled at HDC is petroleum, chemicals, coal, iron ore and steel, while KDS is the main port for containers, coal and fly ash. Birgunj Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Sirsiya is 924 kms away from KDS port; 2-3 days by cargo vehicle. Containers can be transported by Indian Railways which must wait until a full train of 90 container wagons is collected before dispatch, which takes three days to reach Birgunj. During dry season November to February, access to Port of Kolkata is limited due to low draft in the access river, leading to increased waiting times at the port.
The Biratnagar Inland Clearance Depot (ICD) is operational at the border is well connected to the gateway ports of Kolkata (600 kms) by road or by rail till Jogbani, Bihar.
-
Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam port in Andhra Pradesh, one of 12 major ports in India, is located 1,436 kms away from Nepal. The port is expected to facilitate Nepal’s third-country trade, as a deep-water port, where deep-water cargo vessels can be docked. To access Haldia Dock Complex of Port of Kolkata, cargo must be taken to Singapore or Sri Lanka and reloaded into smaller feeder vessels to enter India, which adds cost and time. Visakhapatnam with its bigger capacity could reduce shipping cost by sea by avoiding this step, but it adds transport costs and time overland to Nepal due to its longer distance to Nepal. Transport by rail from Visakhapatnam port to Birgunj takes approximately 10 days, while transport by truck will take around 12 days.
Air Transport
Domestic airports have an important role in connecting people across the country and are heavily used in rural areas in times of distress when road connectivity is limited. Presently, the country has three international and 28 domestic airports in operation. The terrain and high altitude of some deliveries mean specialist advice is always necessary, particularly during the monsoon from June to September.
Most airports in remote locations have no material handling equipment, re-fuelling facilities, adequate firefighting capacity, and limited or no storage capacity. However, airports in major towns and cities are well-equipped and have night landing facilities.
Storage
Nepal has several purposely built warehouses (called “go-downs”) that are owned by government entities, such as Food Management and Trading Company (FMTC) and Salt Trading Corporation (STC). There’s a lack of third-party logistics support, and an inadequate number of storage facilities, especially in sub-national and sub-metropolitan areas.
Nepal - 2.1 Port Assessment
Nepal is a landlocked country and relies on the Port of Kolkata in India to handle practically all its sea freight imports. The Government of Nepal owns a Container Freight Station (CFS) at Kolkata Dry Port which can store 500 containers.
Nepal has multiple dry ports. Birgunj dry port is the largest dry port in terms of annual volume of cargo and income from customs duties and taxes.
Nepal Intermodal Transport Development Board (NITDB), is a public-private partnership (PPP) entity that develops, manages, and promotes Inland Clearance Depots (ICDs) for the facilitation of Export and Import in Nepal. Currently, there are five ICDs in operation in the border towns of Nepal – India and Nepal – China border. Birgunj ICD, Bhairahawa ICD, Kakarvitta ICD are located at Nepal’s border town with India, Tatopani ICD is located at Nepal – China border and Chovar ICD is in the capital Kathmandu. The Rasuwagadhi ICD at Nepal – China border is under construction and is expected to be completed by 2026. Birgunj ICD is linked with both rail and road networks, other ICDs are linked via road only.
Government of Nepal in collaboration with the Government of India is operating two Integrated Check Points (ICPs) at Birgunj and Biratnagar. Two other ICPs, one at Bhairahawa, is under construction, and another in Nepalgunj, has recently finished the construction and commencing operations are underway.
[An ICP (Integrated check point): is a multipurpose customs check point, operating on both sides of the border, to facilitate cross-border trade and movement of people.]
An ICD (Inland Clearance Depot): is a dry-port, purposely build to handle import, export, intermodal transfer, temporary storage and customs clearance of goods, with storage capacity, terminal buildings and logistics handling equipment. It is combination transport terminal and customs clearance point at an inland facility. Most ICDs in Nepal are operated on the border, next to an ICP (Birgunj, Bhairahawa), but it can also be located some distance away from the border customs check point or ICP (as in Biratnagar and Kathmandu).]
Intergovernmental Agreement on Dry Ports
The Intergovernmental Agreement on Dry Ports is aimed at promoting and developing dry ports of international importance as one of the means to establish an international integrated intermodal transport and logistics system within Asia as well as between Asia and its neighbouring regions. The dry ports registered and recognized as “Dry ports of International importance” are: Bhairahawa ICD, Birgunj ICD, Kakarbhitta ICD and Tatopani ICD. Tatopani ICD and Rasuwagadhi customs office are Nepal’s two main customs points with China.

Port Performance
During 2008-09, Kolkata Port (KoPT) handled traffic of 54.05 million tons compared to 57.3 million tons handled in 2007-08. The decline in traffic is due to the transfer of POL (crude oil) through Paradip-Haldia Pipeline, and a decline in iron ore traffic due to the volatile iron ore market and global economic crisis. During 2008-09, KoPT ranked 5th amongst all Indian Major Ports in respect of volume of traffic handled (1st: Kandla – 72.225 million tons; 2nd: Visakhapatnam - 63.908 million tons; 3rd: Chennai – 57.491 million tons, 4th: JNPT – 57.281 million tons). KoPT ranked second among Indian major ports in coke coal handling during 2008-09.

2.1.2 Nepal Birgunj Dry Port
Dry Port Overview
Nepal is a land-locked country and relies on the Kolkata Port in India for handling practically all of its imports by sea. Birgunj dry port at Sirsiya, in Province 2, is one of four dry ports (referred to by the Nepal Intermodal Transport Development Board (NITDB) as Inland Clearance Depots (ICDs)) currently active in the country. The other three active dry ports are Biratnagar, Bhairawa and Nepalgunj ICD. In addition, five more ICDs are planned at Tatopani, Rasuwa, Kathmandu, Kakarbhitta and Dodhara Chandani. The Inland Clearance Depots are connected by road and/or by rail, to a sea port or other international dry port and operate as a centre for transhipment and importation of (sea) cargo to inland destinations into Nepal. Birgunj dry port (Birgunj Inland Container Depot) at Sirsiya is the only dry port in the country connected by railway from Kolkata via Raxaul, India to Sirsiya, Nepal.
An addition at the Birgunj ICD is the Integrated Check Post (ICP) to facilitate the customs clearance activities. The purpose of the ICP is to integrate efficient customs clearance processes at the authorized border crossing points to facilitate clearance of cargo and people in support of trade between Nepal and India. The ICD and ICP facilities are located next to each other at the border. Both of these facilities are managed by Nepal Intermodal Transport Development Board (NITDB): http://nitdb.gov.np/en/
The top three land border crossings in Nepal in terms of import and export value, are (1) Birgunj (Prov.2); 34.64% of import share, (2) Bhairahawa (Prov.5); 16.92 % of import share, (3) Biratnagar (prov.1); 12.25% of import share value during July 2018-May 2019. (Ref: https://www.customs.gov.np)
Birgunj Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Sirsiya
The Inland Clearance Depot (ICD) at Sirsiya, Birgunj is the first (and only) terminal in Nepal linked by rail-road to India. On 6 July 2004, NITDB awarded Himalayan Terminal Pvt Ltd the contract to operate and manage the Inland Clearance Depot in Sirsiya. It facilitates the direct movement of containers and break-bulk cargo from Kolkata port and other places in India. It has six full-rake railway sidings. It handles more than 20,000 TEU (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit) annually. It can store up to 1,568 TEU. It has been constructed on 38 ha (94 acres) land.
Himalayan Terminal Pvt Ltd (HTPL) is a joint venture company with Indian and Nepalese participation.

Port Performance
During June through August, when it is the monsoon season, the dry port is less busy. During festival season (Dashain, Tihar, Chhath in October/November) the dry port is very busy. From December through February, when it is the winter season, the dry port is most busy, because companies start restocking goods after the monsoon season and stockpile goods for the winter season. The dry port can be congested during these months.

Container Facilities
With the increase in trade activities every year and without the improvement in existing infrastructure, congestion in the Dry port is an issue. Lack of proper warehousing capacity also is a contributing factor as importers can be late to clear their cargo on time. The daily off-take capacity of the port is constrained by a lack of sufficient storage space.
Customs Guidance
A new customs clearance process took effect on 2 November 2009, which automates the clearing process and allows for the pre-clearing of goods. It is strongly recommended to pre-clear the goods to save a potential 4- day delay.
Organizations are able to clear their own goods but it is recommended to use a reputable clearing agent. The clearing of goods takes 2 to 3 business days.
Main Storage Terminal
ICD has two warehouses (1. Container Freight Station Shed and 2. Good Shed) of size 7,000 m2 and 10,000 m2. The Good Shed is divided into a walled section of 300m length and a section with roof without walls of 400m (as shown below in the pictures). NITBD has started upgrading ICD in Birgunj with storage and handling facilities to handle bulk cargo.

2.1.7 Nepal Tatopani Dry Port
Port Overview
Tatopani Inland Clearance Depot (ICD) is located in Tatopani village, Sindhupalchok, Bagmati Province, directly on Nepal’s northern border with China, 114 km North East of Kathmandu. Tatopani and Rasuwa in Langtang are Nepal’s two main border crossing points with China. Construction of the Tatopani ICD included improvement of the 112-meter-long bridge over the Bhotekoshi River and a 6.5 KM road track that connects the two countries.
The entry point was closed from January 27 to March 29, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the 2015 Nepal Earthquake, the Araniko Highway leading to Tatopani has been frequently blocked for all traffic due to large active landslides. The road has been re-opened, but the landslide risk remains high, especially during monsoon season.

Nepal - 2.2 Aviation
The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) was established as an autonomous regulatory body on 31 December 1998 under Civil Aviation Act, 1996. The mission of CAAN is to ensure safe, secure, efficient, standard, and quality service in Civil Aviation and Airport Operations. It has dual functions: Regulator of civil aviation as well as a service provider in the areas of Air Navigation Service and Aerodrome Operations.
There are 9 fixed-wing domestic and 12 helicopter operators currently active in Nepal. Most fixed-wing carriers are based in Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and provide scheduled flights to different urban areas of the country. Some of the carriers have established their bases in Nepalgunj, Dhangadhi, and Surkhet and provide scheduled flight services to remote locations in Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces. Airstrips in remote locations are STOL airports and are not well equipped with modern navigating instruments. Among the STOL airstrips, the Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla and Jomsom Airport in Mustang are considered commercially lucrative.
For international travel, currently, 30 airlines including two Nepal-based airlines provide services to different destinations around the globe. Nepal has signed Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) and MoU with 40 different countries, and it has direct air connectivity with 18 countries including India, China, Japan, Qatar, and UAE.
The European Union has blacklisted Nepali airlines since 2013 based on serious security concerns raised by ICAO and are restricted from flying in EU member nations’ airspace.
Both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters can be chartered either for emergency services, cargo services, or for recreational activities. The carrier or their representative must submit a request form to CAAN in the prescribed format for requesting a charter flight. The procedure manual and required forms can be found in this link.
A total of 31 airports are currently operational in Nepal including three international airports. Tribhuvan International Airport, Gautam Buddha International Airport, and Pokhara International Airport are the only international aerodrome in the country. Biratnagar, Pokhara, Dhangadhi, and Nepalgunj airports, are the busiest airports and are considered domestic hub airports. 21 Airports are short take-off and landing (STOL) airports with Aerodrome Flight Information service (AFIS). 22 Airports mentioned below are STOL airports but are not in operation as of 2022.

CAAN does not operate any heliports. In TIA, helicopter operations are authorized in designated areas. There are some areas to be used by helicopters throughout the country located on government as well as private property. CAAN, therefore, does not maintain the landing areas or provide security, Operators are, therefore, required to obtain necessary information before conducting flights in these locations. Details of such locations may be obtained from the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations Directorate (CAAN H/O, Babar Mahal). Source: https://e-aip.caanepal.gov.np/_uploads/_pdf/b8c1e4bd910261b89107ddc3f1eda5a9.pdf
However, CAAN has been working on constructing a new heliport at Nalinchowk of Bhaktapur district in Bagmati province, the location is around 16 KM Northwest of Tribhuvan International Airport. When completed, this facility will be able to accommodate 17 helicopters at a time. (Source: CAAN to construct a modern helipad in Nalinchowk, Bhaktapur (aviationnepal.com)

2.2.3 Nepal Pokhara International Airport
Pokhara Airport is a regional airport serving the city of Pokhara in Nepal. The airport was established on 4 July 1958 and is operated by the government's Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal and is capable of handling aircraft from the Nepalese Army Air Service. It offers regular connections to Kathmandu and Jomsom airports, and seasonal connections to Manang Airport. Following a new agreement on air travel between India and Nepal, Pokhara Airport is to be the site of Nepal's second international airport. Construction started in the Southeast of Pokhara in 2009. In 2011 Buddha Air, a Nepali private airline, began international flights from Pokhara to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow, India, and announced plans to fly to New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport in the future. The dimensions of the airport's apron allows handling of 8 small propeller planes at a time. Pokhara Airport is a diversion airport for Tribhuvan International Airport when complications occur, such as heavy fog. Due to the limited dimensions of the runway and of the apron, flights must often be re-diverted to third airports. In March 2016 the Government of Nepal signed a deal with China Exim Bank to build the new International Airport at Pokhara by July 2020. The airport will spread over 200 hectares, with a runway of 2,500 m x 45 m.

2.2.10 Nepal Major Domestic Airport - Surkhet
Airport Overview
Aerial view of Surkhet Airport with surrounding habitation of Birendranagar
Surkhet Airport is situated at Birendranagar Municipality of Surkhet District, Karnali Province. It is one of the hub airports of mid-Western Nepal and serves most of the remote sectors of the western part of the country – Jumla, Humla, Kalikot, Mugu, and Dolpa, Bajhang, Bajura and Rukum (although infrequent). Surkhet Airport serves mainly as transport for cargo rather than passengers to the Karnali and Sudurpaschim Provinces. This airport is strategically important for the transportation of food grains, clothes, medicines, iodine-mixed salt, construction materials, office goods, school materials like books and stationeries as well as other commercial goods. There are scheduled passenger flights from Kathmandu to Surkhet daily.
Expansion of the runway is limited due to the hilly landscape. The approach is only from one side South to North 20 degrees. Aircrafts bigger than the ATR 42 have not yet attempted landing at Surkhet airport. Aircraft models such as B190, D228, DHC6, L410, Y12, C208 are the appropriate types of aircraft for this airport.23 personnel of the Nepal Armed Police division have been appointed for airport security. The Airport has no dedicated landing zones for helicopters. The control tower is well capacitated to oversee a 5 mile radius centred at the Airport Reference Point (ARP).

2.3 Nepal Road Network
Overview
Roads are the predominant mode of transport in Nepal. Road network of Nepal is categorized into the strategic road network (SRN), which comprises of highways and feeder roads, and the local road network (LRN), comprising of district roads and Urban roads. Nepal’s road network consists of about 64,500 km of roads. Of these, about 13,500 km belong to the SRN, the core network of national highways and feeder roads connecting district headquarters.
(Picture : Nepal Road Standard 2070)
The network density is low, at 14 kms per 100 km2 and 0.9 km per 1,000 people. 60% of the road network is concentrated in the lowland (Terai) areas. A Department of Roads (DoR’s) survey shows that 50% of the population of the hill areas still must walk two hours to reach an SRN road. Two of the 77 district headquarters, namely Humla, and Dolpa are yet to be connected to the SRN.

Major Road Construction Projects
Kathmandu Terai/Madhesh Expressway
The Expressway will be constructed by Nepali Army (NA). The Expressway consists of a dual carriageway with double lane high design speed highway. The overall 76.2 km (proposed) length stretches from Khokana (Lalitpur) to Nijgadh (Bara) interconnecting Kathmandu and Makwanpur district in between. The project has started and is planned to complete by May 2024.
(Source: Fast Track Road Project)
SASEC Road Connectivity Project
The South Asia Sub-Regional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Road Connectivity Project is building alternative routes between the districts of Sunsari and Saptari to create year-round passable conditions along the East West Highway, especially across the Koshi River. The project is upgrading 73 km of bypass and border roads along the East-West Highway to two lanes and improving 114 km of another strategic roadway.
(Source: Nepal: South Asia Sub-regional Economic Cooperation Road Connectivity Project )
Construction of Major Highways Connecting East to West of Country
- Pushpa Lal (Mid Hill) Highway Project: Pushpalal Highway’s (H18) proposed length 1776 km would be the longest highway of Nepal once completed. 850 km of the 1776 km has been blacktopped. The government has aimed to accomplish the Mid-Hill Highway by the fiscal year 2022/2023.
- Madan Bhandari Inner Terai Highway: Inner Terai highway, an ongoing project once completed would extend 1200 km from east to west. The highway would run parallel to Mid Hill highway to the North and Mahendra Highway to the south.
- East-West Postal Highway: The East-West Postal Highway, popularly known as Hulaki Marga, connects 20 districts in the southern Terai belt. The highway extends 975 km from east to west. The project also includes another 817 kms of roads that will connect all Tarai districts. Construction work has started on the road sections in Province 2. The progress has been slow.
These projects once completed would relieve pressure on Mahendra Highway by being alternative routes to traverse east to west of the country.

Road Security
The risk posed by the treacherous slope of mountains, the narrow width of the lanes, sharp corners and negligence and inexperience of drivers lead to approximately 4,622 annual traffic fatalities. Nepal’s fatality rate16 per 100K people and 400 per 100k registered vehicle is one of the highest rates in the continent and the world (WHO:2018). Road quality and frequent construction projects partially act as a control mechanism to limit speeding. Motorcycle accidents are frequent.
General strikes, or Bandhs, can involve blockage and shutdown of major roads. It is advisable to avoid travel during these strikes. The link provides the live data on fatality on the roads of Nepal

Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
The Department of Transport Management (DoTM) is mandated to control vehicle overloading in Nepal. A basic policy of vehicle overloading control has been included in National Transport Policy (2002) by the Government of Nepal, Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport. However, no weighbridges are installed and operated by DoTM at present. The Federation of Truck Transport Entrepreneurs Nepal (FTTEN) is operating fifteen (15) weighbridges in major freight routes.
Medium-sized trucks (seven to ten-ton payload) operate over two-lane asphalt roads at relatively low average speeds, in the range of 200 to 400 km per day. The movement of containers on the Nepal roadways is limited due to the terrain and condition of the roads. Most of the trucks used in cross-border movements are 2-3 axle (six or ten wheel) trucks carrying payloads up to 18 MT. Trucks carrying bulk cargo are generally overloaded, causing additional damage to roads.

Surface / Road conditions
Factors influencing road driving conditions in Nepal are:
- Construction quality: Many roads constructed have design flaws (narrow width lane, lack of safety barriers, lane markings or drainage systems, thin or low-quality surfacing). Increased vehicles traffic, heavy trucks and monsoon rains lead to quick deterioration and surface cracks and pot-holes.
- Maintenance: The Road Board Nepal oversees the maintenance of roads by respective Road Agencies. However, for many roads maintenance and repair is not carried out regularly.
- Weather: During rainy season the risk of landslides or floods that may block roads, is significantly increased. This affects immediate transportation and wreaks havoc on the longevity of the infrastructure.
- Ratna Highway is two-lane, black-topped highway in good condition.
- Karnali Highway is a vital transport link between two provinces in Nepal. This highway links the towns of Jumla, the Karnali capital, and Surkhet. Karnali Province is the largest, remotest and the least developed Province in Nepal. In general, the highway has two-lanes; the highway is both black-topped and earthen, and construction is still under progress.
- Feeder Roads (Nagma to Gamgadhi): Earthen, Work in Progress, Rocky Terrain
- Bhimdutta Highway (Dhangadi – Dadeldhura): Blacktopped, Good condition.
- Mechi Highway (H06) is two-lane highway with the length of 268 km. It is blacktopped and is in good condition. On its hilly section, the problem of landslides especially during rainy season should be considered.
- Koshi Highway (H08) is 390 km road envisioned as shortest north south corridor to connect China and India via Nepal. The road section from Biratnagar (India-Nepal Border) to Khandbari is blacktopped but beyond Khandbari to Kimanthanka (China-Nepal Border) the construction is ongoing. Hilly section of the highway faces the issue of landslides during rainy season.
- Araniko Highway (H03) is 115 km blacktopped highway connecting Kathmandu with Kodari (China-Nepal border). This highway is among the difficult highways of Nepal to navigate during rainy season.
- Siddhartha Highway (H10) is 181 km long blacktopped highway connecting Nepal India border at Siddharthanagar to Pokhara, a major city in Gandaki Province. Butwal-Palpa section at the hilly region of the highway consists of rocky terrain. Rockfalls and debris deposition are common. Landslides is frequent during rainy season.
- Mahendra Highway which traverses east to west of country, Prithivi Highway which connects Kathmandu with Pokhara, major tourist destination, Araniko highway which connects Kathmandu with Kodari, a town bordering China, Tribhuvan Highway which connects Kathmandu with Birgunj, a major business hub bordering India and Siddhartha Highway which connects Siddharthanagar, a town bordering India with Pokhara are the five busiest highways of Nepal.
- Nepal Access Constraints Maps : The National Logistics Cluster updates Road Access constraints maps periodically in the monsoon season, during flood/landslide emergencies.
Traffic capacity (Heavy, Heavy with trailer, Light vehicle, Motorbike) and any seasonal variations
The maximum dimensions of vehicles considered for design of roads in Nepal are as follows:
Maximum Width, m 2.50
Maximum Height, m 4.75
Maximum Length, m 18.00
Maximum single axle load, kilo Newton (kN) 100
Province 1
All the districts of Province No. 1 are connected by road, although some roads in high altitudes are not blacktopped and conditions of those roads worsen during the rainy season. Major highways of the province which connects plain land of Terai to high altitude regions are as follows:
- Mechi Highway: 268 km long two lanes freeway which connects Jhapato Taplejung. The main destinations along the highway include Prithivinagar, Bhadrapur, Duhagadhi, Budhabare, Kanyam, and Phikkal.
- Koshi Highway: Two lanes of road and 159 km long, starts from Biratnagarand connects Myanglung with it. Itahari, Dharan, Dhankuta, Bhedetar, Hile are the destinations along with highway.
- Sagarmatha Highway: Two lanes, 265 km long highway starts from Kadmaha of Province No. 2and connects Solukhumbu with it. Gaighat, Saune etc. are the destinations along with highway.
- Mahendra HighwayThe major East-West Highway of Nepal starts from Kakarbhitta of Province No. 1.

Province 2
The East-West Highway runs longitudinally across the Province 2. All major cities of the province are connected to the highway. Janakpurdham, Rajbiraj , Birgunj and Gaur lie 25, 10, 24 and 42 km south of the Mahendra Highway, respectively. The Tribhuvan Highway is an important to link as it connects the province to Kathmandu and to India. The starting point of Tribhuvan Highway i.e. Birgunj is the most important international gateway and trade way for this province and the entire country and hence as the Tribhuvan Highway is also referred to as "The Gateway of Nepal". Birendra highway which is connected to Mahendra highway from headquarter of Rautahat district Gaur to the Chandranigahpur (the largest city of Rautahat) is 42km in length. However, to access the capital of Province 2, Janakpur city from Kathmandu the fastest suggested route is the Bisheshwor Prasad Koirala (BP) highway till Bardibas, Mahottari and then 1 h 12 min (43.9 km) via E - W Hwy/AH2 and Dhulikhel Sindhuli Bhittamod Rajmarg.

Known obstacles and bridges in Karnali province
Construction of Bridge on Karnali Highway on the way to Manma.
Construction of bridges on the lengths of highways could delay the movement but are not a hindrance. Numerous bridges are being constructed.
The district of Humla is not yet connected with road network. A project to link the Humla with Karnali Highway is under progress in Kalikot district. A special travel arrangement could be made in the form of the ferry to carry vehicles across the Karnali river but that is not possible during the rainy season.
Dolpa is also not accessible through a connecting road. The government is attempting to link the roadway to Dolpa, Dunai. The road is linked to Rukum, Jajarkot districts. The road is 118 km long, of which 73 km road construction has been completed.
Sudurpashchim Province
The East-West highway is the lifeline to all 9 districts in Sudurpashchim Province. The road networks joining province capitals Kailali and district headquarter, Kanchanpur, south of the East-West highway and other seven districts headquarter with north of East-west highway are accessible but the problem of inundation in Terai and frequent landslide often pose severe access constraints during the monsoon season. Puspalal Mid hill Highways is in the construction process but at a slow pace.

Known obstacles and bridges in Sudurpashchim province
Rocky section of F154 in Bumramadichaur joining Nagma to Gamgadhi, Mugu
The SRN connecting districts of Karnali Province are relatively unobstructed by landslides. But numerous bridge building activities have diverted roads into small rivulets, which can delay traffic and can be temporarily obstructed during the monsoon season.

However, as this section of road is across a flat plain, it does not present major logistics issues in case of accidents or breakdowns as traffic may be diverted around a scene without too much trouble. India has plans to rectify this situation by extending the highway (unconfirmed)
Biratnagar Inland container Depot (ICD) is in proximity of the Border crossing, thus it is efficient process when it comes to flow of goods in and out of the country.

2.3.8 Nepal Minor Border Crossing - Mahakali-Jhulaghat
Overview
The Mahakali-Jhulaghat customs office is the main customs office under the Department of Customs of Nepal for Sudurpashchim province. The office manages the customs-related activities of 6 other sub-customs offices in the region. The Mahakali River separates the border between Nepal and India. Both Nepal and India a have parallel road on each side of the border, but the roads are not connected and hence this border crossing is inaccessible for vehicles. A small suspension bridge for pedestrians only links the two countries.
Mahakali-Jhulaghat is a minor border crossing, not rated among the main 23 border crossing points in terms of import share. Therefore this crossing point is not recommended for cargo import & export.

This 28-mile-long (45 km) track was later extended to Bijalpura. After a washout of the railway embankment and two bridges the track between Janakpur and Bijayalpura (22 kms railway line) was closed in 2001. The upgrade of the Janakpur–Jainagar railway track to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge is in progress along with the extension of the railway line to Bardibas. Currently, it is not operational.
Railway Companies and Consortia
Rail transport of Nepal is managed by the state-run Nepal Railways Corporation Ltd. Some of the future projects outlined by the Nepal Railways Corporation Ltd are as follows:
- The East-West Railway Line: An alternative mode of transportation to traverse east to west of the country relieving pressure on East-West highway.
- Raxaul–Birgunj-Kathmandu: Upgrade and extension of existing railway line to connect Kathmandu.
- Belt and Road Initiative: Nepal signed a framework agreement in 2017 to explore the feasibility to connect Nepal with Lhasa, Tibet, China via Kerung, Rasuwa a northern border point.

2.5 Nepal Waterways Assessment
There are no waterways in Nepal for inland navigation. The only practical seaport for goods bound for Nepal is Kolkata, India.
Nepal and India have carried out studies on the possibility of having navigational use of the Gandak River system. Along the Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hooghly river system, National Waterway 1 (NW 1) of India Gandak river meets at Hajipur (marked with green circle) and Koshi river meets at Kursela (marked with blue circle). The two rivers from Hajipur and from Kursela to Nepal are currently not navigable and require dredging. India started dredging the 300km river section from Hajipur to Nepal in 2020, to make the river navigable for 1,000-2,000 MT vessels. The confluences of these rivers with the Ganga could potentially link Nepal to the Port of Kolkota via river. However, cargo transport from Kolkota port by river would need to compete with the cost and speed of transport by rail and road. The Nepal Shipping Office was established under the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport on 14th February 2019 to oversee the progress on Nepal-India Transit Treaty to use three inland- waterways (Kolkata-Kalughat-Raxaul; Kolkata-Sahebgunj-Biratnagar and Kolkata-Varanasi-Raxaul routes).

2.6 Nepal Storage Assessment
Overview
While Nepal has an abundance of low volume storage for the commercial sector. Large-scale warehousing for the humanitarian community is more difficult to locate. The Food Management and Trading Company (FMTC), previously Nepal Food Corporation, appears to be the largest provider of warehousing capacity for rent, but availability of their facilities is linked to the harvest season of paddy.
For information on Nepal storage contact details, please see the following link: 4.6 Nepal Storage and Milling Companies Contact List
Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
Humanitarian Staging Area
The World Food Programme (WFP) established the Humanitarian Staging Area (HSA) at TIA Kathmandu, funded by UKAid, in close cooperation with MoHA and CAAN, as a part of the “Augmentation of Kathmandu Valley Emergency Logistics and Telecommunication Common Service Project”. The purpose of this facility is to enhance the emergency preparedness and response capacity of Government of Nepal (MoHA) and the humanitarian community. The HSA has been managed on behalf of MoHA by WFP on a full cost-recovery basis, overseen by a user-group steering committee.
The infrastructure was constructed in 9800 m² of land and has 9 separate Mobile Storage Units (MSUs) in total of 2800 m² of sheltered storage area. It also has dedicated 70 x 20ft space for 20ft containers along with additional spaces for office, secured fuel station complete with refueling capacity, ample parking space and ample free space.
Two provincial HSA has been established at Nepalgunj, Province 5 and Dhangadi, Sudurpaschim Province, with 640 m² storage capacity in Dhangadi and 1280 m2 storage capacity in Nepalgunj.
(FIG: WFP Nepal)
In the event of crises, the National Logistics Cluster of the country activates the HSA’s and initiates logistics services to fill gaps. Updates on the requirement to procure services can be attained through Log cluster’s page dedicated to Nepal.
Nepal Red Cross Society
The Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS) is the only humanitarian organization that has its own storage facilities. All other NGOs use commercial warehouses as needed.

Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development
As part of Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project, MoALD is implementing Cold Store Construction Project. Government has planned to build Cold Storages in thirteen districts. (Source : myRepublica)
Provincial Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives (Province 3)
The Provincial Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives has committed Rs 450 million to build 11 cold storages to stock fruits and vegetables. The provincial government has allocated grants to fund the construction of such facilities as per the clauses of the Cold Storage Construction and Operation Work Procedures issued by the ministry in 2018-19 (Source: The Kathmandu Post). The total capacity of different refrigerated warehouses in Nepal is approximately 259,000 m3 as of the survey carried out by Global Cold Chain Alliance in 2014 .
2.6.1 Nepal Karnali Province Storage Assessment
Karnali province does not have any significant large-scale warehousing for the private sector or the humanitarian community. Storage capacity is mostly restricted to low volume storage owned and used by private sector traders, wholesalers and retailers. The Nepal Food Corporation, a parastatal company responsible for procurement and distribution of food commodities, is the only organization that can provide warehouse capacity at scale in Nepal, but availability of their storage facilities for third parties is linked to the harvest schedule.
The low volume storage capacity of Karnali province in the local context refers to a room or two in a privately owned residential-type building. Dedicated warehousing facilities are almost non-existent. The province government planned to build a warehouse, but progress has stalled.
The storage options that are readily available in the districts are warehouses of Nepal Food Corporation in the commercial sector and Nepal Red Cross Society storage in the humanitarian sector.
Subsidiaries of private sector industry are present in Province 2, but in general they do not lease out storage space, as they use it privately.

Most NFC warehouses are designed and built with concrete floors and brick and concrete walls and corrugated iron roofs with appropriate ventilation, to have appropriate storage conditions for food commodities. However, several of the warehouses lack regular maintenance, which can affect storage conditions.
A new NFC warehouse is under construction in Surkhet of capacity 2000 MT. After the completion of the new warehouse, a total of 4000 MT storage capacity will be available in Surkhet. However, most NFC warehouses have depots in areas with relatively low accessibility.

Nepal Red Cross Society maintains a stock of humanitarian relief materials for emergency preparedness in stores at their chapter offices. These humanitarian relief materials, such as tents, clothes, blankets, tarpaulins, buckets and kitchen items are distributed to individuals or families affected by disasters or isolated case of emergencies.
NRCS has a regional level warehouse in Nepalgunj which supports 10 district chapters in the Karnali region. The NRCS district requirement for relief materials is to maintain NFI stock for approximately 100 to 150 families.

2.6.2 Nepal Province 2 Storage Assessment
Province 2 does not have any significant large-scale warehousing for the private sector or the humanitarian community. Storage capacity is mostly restricted to low volume storage owned and used by private sector manufacturers, traders and retailers. Two companies, Pashupati Carriers Pvt Ltd and Shree Carriers dominate the transport and storage sector in Province 2, which includes customs clearance, transport and storage of goods. They manage the supply chain from door-to-door, which is why there are limited independent, standalone warehousing facilities available in the province. The government’s counterpart to these private companies is Nepal Transit and Warehousing Company Ltd, but their service is exclusive to Birgunj Customs office.
Since the construction of the Birgunj dry-port (Integrated Check Post), the need for exclusive warehousing facilities has increased. A subsidiary of Omni Finance group is operating a warehousing facility of 930m2 (10,000 ft2) capacity (in 4 separate rooms).
Storage options that can be readily available in the districts, are warehouses of Nepal Food Corporation (NFC) in the commercial sector, a parastatal company responsible for procurement and distribution of food commodities, and Nepal Red Cross Society storage in the Humanitarian Sector.

Most NFC warehouses are designed and built with concrete floors and brick and concrete walls and corrugated iron roofs with appropriate ventilation, to have appropriate storage conditions for food commodities. However, several of the warehouses lack regular maintenance, which can affect storage conditions. Wear and tear due to aging on the buildings are clearly visible but the structural integrity of the buildings has not been compromised. The full capacity of the warehouses is not being utilized since the role of NFC as a food and grain purchasing and storing entity is gradually being reduced due to an increasing access to roads and markets and increasing food self-sufficiency of the community.
The Gajendra Narayan Singh Industrial Area in Saptari with an area of 149,000 m2 was vacant. 10 warehouses, each of 286 m2 (3079 ft2) in this industrial area could be used for emergency purposes.

2.6.3 Nepal Sudurpaschim Province Storage Assessment
Sudurpaschim province does not have any significant large-scale warehousing for private sector or the humanitarian community. Storage capacity is mostly restricted to low volume storage owned and used by private sector traders, wholesalers and retailers. The Nepal Food Corporation, a parastatal company responsible for procurement and distribution of food commodities, and the Krishi Samagri Company Ltd, a public sector enterprise for fertilizers, seeds and agro-chemicals, are the only two organizations that can provide warehouse capacity at scale in Nepal, but availability of their storage facilities for third parties is linked to the harvest schedule.
In 2015, WFP, in coordination with Ministry of Home Affairs and UK Aid established a Humanitarian Staging Area, a transit storage point for humanitarian relief materials, next to Tribhuvan International Airport cargo complex in Kathmandu. In coordination with UKAid, WFP is establishing seven more Forward Logistics Bases (FLB): one in Dhangadi, Sudurpaschim and 6 in the rest of Nepal (Nepalgunj, Birgunj, Biratnager, Bhairawa, Surkhet and Pokhara).
Ministry of Home Affairs has developed provincial warehouses for emergency preparedness supplies in 5 different provinces. In Sudurpaschim Province, District Administration Office-Kailali is managing a province level warehouse in Dhangadi.

2.7 Nepal Milling Assessment
Overview
The major agriculture production area of Nepal is in the plain lands of Terai. Because of this, most of the country’s mills and processing facilities are also located in this region. There are limited numbers of mills outside of this region. Production of rice in the Terai is not enough to meet the daily consumption requirement of the nation. Therefore, to meet the demand, milled rice and paddy is imported from India.
Nepal has about 350 private commercial mills in operation although more than 500 are registered. State owned Food Management and Trading Company (FMTC) is also a major actor in collection and distribution of rice but their milling capacity is limited to two mills; 2 MT per hour in Rajapur, Bardiya (Aruwa Makwanpur: raw coarse rice) and 1 MT per hour in Janakpur, Dhanusha (Basmati). These 350 mills are further segmented into small, medium and big depending upon their production per hour. (100 mills of 1 MT/h, 215 mills of 1-5 MT/h; 35 mills of 5-8 MT/h). The collective production of these mills across all segment is dependent on the mill operation hour in a day, seasonality of the harvest, milling capacity of the production unit.
Generally, most of the mills operate for 1 single shift for 8 hours per day and that is only for 5 months harvest season of May through September.
For more information, please see: 4.6 Nepal Storage and Milling Companies Contact List.
Food Management and Trading Company (FMTC)
The Food Management and Trading Company (FMTC, formerly Nepal Food Corporation) is a state-owned enterprise. FMTC contributes to food security by supplying subsidized food commodities to people in food insecure and food deficit areas and it plays a role influencing the market by procuring and encouraging production of indigenous food commodities.
FMTC has two rice mills:
- A mill in Rajapur, Bardiya with a capacity of two MT/h and runs in the high season two shifts of 10 hours (night) and eight hours (day); they source exclusively Nepalese paddy and the monthly average output is 200-350 MT of milled rice or 2,200 MT/annum. The mill has four warehouses with a total storage capacity of 6,000 MT.
- A mill in Janakpur, Dhanusha with a capacity of one MT/h. They have a paddy quota for 1,000 MT/annum of coarse rice (Mansuli) and 700 MT of Basmati. They have two warehouses with a combined storage capacity of 3,000 MT.

All of them are sourcing Nepalese rice (mainly coarse) and supply 90-100 per cent of their output to the hill and mountain areas of Gandaki Province, Lumbini Province and Karnali Province of Nepal. The transportation costs increase significantly not only by distance but also by degree of difficulty of road access (or path). From May to September, some areas are simply inaccessible by land transport because of floods and landslides.

Agriculture is the major sector of Nepalese economy. It provides employment opportunities to 66 percent of the total population and contributes about 36 percent in the GDP. The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development bears overall responsibility for the growth and development of agriculture sector. The Ministry is the central apex body of Government of Nepal to look after the agriculture and allied fields. The Ministry of Agricultural consists of five divisions, two centres, one research and development council, four departments, four projects and autonomous bodies of one research council, four corporations and a few development committees and boards.

Banking
Nepal’s investment opportunities in hydroelectricity, tourism, service, and mega infrastructure developmental projects call for large amounts of funds which cannot be supplemented by the existing capacity of commercial banks and financial institutions. Therefore, the government has established Infrastructure Development Banks (IDB) under the Banks and Financial Institution Act (BAFIA), 2074 (2017). Also, the Nepal Rastra Bank is shrinking the number of banks and financial institutions (BFIs) to increase the capacity of a BFI to invest in mega projects rather than the current practice of consortium financing. No new license is being issued to banks and financial institutions by the central bank. The Banks and Financial Institution Act (BAFIA), 2074 (2017) opens establishment of Infrastructure Development Banks (IDB) though it is reluctant to issue new licenses to commercial banks and other financial institutions. Section 107 of the same Act provides that the central bank can formulate the policy with respect to Infrastructure Development Banks.
As per the Licensing Policy, a minimum paid up capital of IDB must be 20 billion rupees. If IDB is established from local investment only, and promoters’ group shall hold a minimum 51% of the shares and 30% shares would be allocated to the public. If IDB is established with foreign investment, foreign investors can own 20% to 85% of the shares but it must allocate at least 15% shares to the public. If foreign shareholding is 20% or more but less than 50%, the public shall be allocated, at least, 30% of shares.
Information Technology (IT)
Information technology sector in Nepal has seen a strong growth in last decade. The sector mainly comprises of small companies undertaking outsourced jobs from around globe. The National ICT Policy, introduced in 2015, seeks to enhance the vision of transforming Nepali society into knowledge and information-based society by harnessing rapid advances in the ICT sector. Similarly, the National Broadband Policy announced in 2016 puts forth a framework for stimulating broadband access and availability across the country. Along with the national broadcasting act and regulation, radio act and radio communication license regulation are critical frames for the development of the ICT sectors.
Manufacturing
Although manufacturing sector represents a major portion of the industry in Nepal, the development of this sector has not been as robust compared to the service sector. The trade deficit in major part is contributed by a weak production base in Nepal.
As of September 2022, there are currently 294,620 companies registered in the Office of Company Registrar in Nepal under different categories. Among them 37% are registered under others sector with 109,758 counts while the manufacturing (Industrial) sector is the second largest category with 71,520 (24%) registered companies, followed by agriculture and health sectors. As the manufacturing sector represents a major portion of the industry in Nepal, the development of this sector is important to the government in terms of generating employment opportunities, promoting trade, enhancing national income growth, and alleviating poverty. It also offers economies of scale, technological progress, output growth, productivity, positive spill-over effects, and efficiency in terms of resource utilisation (compared to the agricultural sector, for example).
Hydro Power
Nepal’s hydropower development started in 1911 with 0.5 MW plant in Pharping near Kathmandu (one of the earliest in Asia), according to the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) annual report 2022/23 the current generation capacity of hydropower projects in Nepal is around 2684 MW. MW of hydropower is being exported to India on the Day-Ahead basis through the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX). There are over 100 micro hydropower plants (not connected with the grid) generate around 5 MW in total. As per the Department of Energy, the hydropower plant-based capacity is classified into 3 categories: a) Large Hydropower Plant that generates power over 10 MW, b) Small Hydropower Plant which generates between 1 and 10 MW, and c) Micro Hydropower Plant that produces less than 1 MW.

Nepal - 3.1 Fuel
Fuel Overview
Nepal Oil Corporation Limited (NOC) established in 1970 by the Government of Nepal under the "Company Act, 2021 (1964), is a state-owned trading enterprise of Nepal that imports, stores and distributes various petroleum products in the country. In Nepal, no private or other companies are allowed to import Petrol and Diesel other than NOC. Being a landlocked country, all fuel products in Nepal are imported via India under the special agreement with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC). NOC, headquartered in Kathmandu, has over the years expanded and now has seven Provincial offices in each province of Nepal. Three branch offices, two fuel depots, One Petrol Pump, and Ten aviation fuel depots, with total existing storage capacity of 68,427 kilolitres (kl), which is assessed to be enough for 20 days based on national sales data.
NOC distributes its petroleum products to various government affiliated and NOC approved privately owned companies to be distributed to consumers. Currently, NOC is working towards developing storage facilities for petroleum products to meet the demand of at least 30 days. All aviation fuel (Jet A-1) is distributed and sold directly by NOC through eight Aviation Fuel Depots to adhere to stringent quality control measures.
The current storage capacities of the Fuel depots of the country are as follows:

Fuel Pricing
NOC has implemented Automatic Petroleum Pricing Mechanism (APPM) since 29th September 2014. To cushion consumers against an oil price shock, the government has seeded a Price Stabilisation Fund with NRs500m (approx. USD 3.7m). If petroleum product prices rise by more than 2%, the NOC will draw on the fund to moderate the increases passed on to consumers; if prices decrease by more than 2%, the NOC will make deposits into the fund to build it up against future negative shocks.

Seasonal Variations
Fuel worth NPR 353 billion (USD 2.65 billion approx.) was imported in the fiscal year 2022/23. Import of fuel has gradually increased for the last couple of years due to the increase in the consumption of fuel, as per a spokesman NOC. During monsoon, because of reasons like bad road conditions due to continuous rain and due to lessened developmental activities, the import of fuel is lower.
|
Seasonal Variations |
|
|---|---|
|
Are there national priorities in the availability of fuel? (i.e. are there restrictions or priorities for the provision of fuel such as to the military?) |
Yes, government agencies, the Nepali Army and industries get the bulk amount of fuel directly from the NOC as agreed. Embassies in Nepal also receive a bulk quantity. |
|
Is there a rationing system? |
No |
|
Is fuel to lower income / vulnerable groups subsidized? |
No |
|
Can the local industry expand fuel supply to meet humanitarian needs? |
No, since the NOC is the sole importer of the fuel, local industries do not have the authority to import fuel, but they do have the capacity to buy fuel from the NOC and set up facilities in strategic locations to make fuel accessible to remote areas. |
|
Is it possible for a humanitarian organization to directly contract a reputable supplier / distributor to provide its fuel needs? |
Yes, Humanitarian organizations can directly contract NOC for its fuel needs. Humanitarian agencies need to produce a document from the Ministry of Finance on tax (duty) exemption for the provision of tax-free fuel. |
Fuel Transportation
The Motihari-Amlekhgunj pipeline is 69 kilometre (42.9 mi) long oil pipeline from Motihari, India to Amlekhgunj Depot in Parsa, Nepal. This pipeline makes the transportation of oil across the border from India easier, safer and faster to Nepal. It is the first trans-national pipeline in the Indian sub-continent operated by Indian Oil Corporation Limited. Currently, the pipeline is used for the import of diesel.
The pipeline was jointly inaugurated by Prime ministers of India and Nepal on 10 September 2019.
The products are transported from IOC refineries, terminals, and depots to the corresponding NOC depots and retail dealers by tank trucks. There is a total of 494 transporters across the country and 1,893 tank trucks are available.

NOC does not have its own transportation provision. A bilateral contract with the transporter is the basis for all the product delivery orders to be sent out to Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) depots carried along by each oil tanker. From the IOC’s depots with respect to the capacity of the tankers, either 12 KL or 20 KL fuel is carried back to the respective depots after necessary clearance procedure at the customs.
However, in several instances, fuel transporters are often the cause of supply bottlenecks. Fuel tankers, which are mainly private owned, are the only transporters of fuel in the country, hence, fuel tanker association strikes/protests often lead to halt in the supply of fuel resulting in a fuel crisis.

Standards, Quality, and Testing
With the help of IOC, NOC has been able to train employees in the field of quality and pollution control, stock loss control, fire and safety precautions during operations, engineering, as well as in the detection, control and countermeasures against adulteration and required laboratory test procedures and methods.
A Quality & Pollution Control Department at Babar Mahal, Kathmandu has been set up to constantly monitor fuel standards. The central laboratory is equipped with necessary facilities for testing of quality standards of petroleum products. Laboratory testing is regularly carried out and quality norms are strictly enforced. NOC also frequently arranges for its inspection team to check adulteration and maintain the standard of petroleum products available in the market.
|
Industry Control Measures |
|
|---|---|
|
Do tanks have adequate protection against water mixing with the fuel? |
Yes, EPOXY coating on the inner walls of tanks along with a secure locking mechanism ensures against water mixing. |
|
Are there filters in the system which monitor where fuel is loaded into aircraft? |
Yes, zero tolerance in ATF and three levels of filtration is practiced ensuring that the impurities at the 1micron level. By the time Aircraft filters, the level of impurities reduces to 0.5 micron. |
|
Is there adequate epoxy coating of tanks on trucks? |
Yes, EPOXY coating on the inner walls of tanks to prevent rust and dust. EP coat is required be changed every 3 years although every year its adequacy in the tank is ensured. |
|
Is there a presence of suitable firefighting equipment? |
2 bags of 10 kg each of dry chemical powder is carried by the tanks at all times. Tankers are designed to exhaust fumes from the front of the vehicle and not the rear. |
|
Standards Authority |
|
|---|---|
|
Is there a national or regional standards authority? |
NOC is completely reliant upon the standards imposed by IOCs since all of Nepal’s Oil import is from IOC depots in UP, Bihar and West Bengal. |
|
If yes, please identify the appropriate national and/or regional authority. |
National: NOC Regional: IOC |
|
If yes, are the standards adequate/properly enforced? |

Nepal - 3.2 Transporters
Various types of trucks (4 MT to 33 MT capacity) are used in Nepal as the means to transport cargo. Most of the goods/freight vehicles in Nepal are up to 11 MT two-axle rigid chassis and constitute majority of the total fleet of freight vehicles.
In the mountainous areas, 4-wheel drive 4 MT trucks and tractor-trailer combinations are common for transport. The Government of Nepal sets standard transport rates especially for truck routes across the country. The Federation of Truck Transport Entrepreneurs, Nepal (FTTEN) plays an active role in setting transport rates, especially for the routes in remote areas with mainly unpaved roads, in coordination with the District Administration Office and District Technical Office. The Federation of Truck Transport Entrepreneurs, Nepal (FTTEN) is registered as a national NGO to safeguard the rights of truck transporters across the country and can also be contacted for information on transport service capacity.
Overloading trucks is a common practice and utilising high tyre pressure to carry as much as 18 to 20 tonnes, exceeding the legal Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 16.2 tonnes, thus causing additional wear and tear on the roads. In areas not accessible by trucks e.g. rural unpaved roads, tractors and mini 4MT trucks are the main transport means for goods. In the high mountainous regions, with an absence of roads, pack animals (mules) and porters are mainly used.

Nepal - 3.3 Manual Labor
The Nepal Labor Act 2074 (2017) provides for the rights, interest, facilities and safety of workers and employees in Nepal. The work week in Nepal consists of 6 workdays and 1 weekly holiday (Saturday). Major actors representing Nepalese workers are All Nepal Federations of Trade Unions (ANTUF), General Federations of Trade Unions (GEFONT), and Nepal Trade Union Congress (NTUC).
Minimum wage standardisation committees at district level fix the minimum labour rates of handling goods and services for the respective districts in the month of July for each Nepali fiscal year. Wage standardisation by the committee sets local wage rates for manual labour, local transportation, engineering costs and construction material costs. Often general labour and transportation market rates in use are found to be higher than the minimum market rates defined by the Federal Government, Provincial Government, and district committees.
Seasonal migration to India is a dominant feature of poor rural communities of Nepal, consistent with open borders, and cultural similarities. It has long been part of the livelihood portfolio of poor people across the country as well as part of life of the poor people from the middle hill of Nepal. Unskilled workers from the bordering Indian states fill the labour supply gaps in Nepal created by the increasing migration of the Nepali workforce. Contract labourers from India find seasonal employment during the planting and harvesting seasons in Nepal; several infrastructure projects such as hydropower and road constructions often employ Indian labourers.
The Government of Nepal, Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security prescribed the minimum remuneration/wage of the worker/employees under Section 106 of the Labor Act, 2017 (2074), separated in (a) “Minimum Wage Other than Tea Estate "and (b) “Minimum Wage Tea Estate “, which has come into effect on September 17, 2023.

Nepal - 3.4 Telecommunications
Nepal’s Telecommunication sector has a total of 34,731,859 subscriptions for Voice Telephony Service and 40,900,718 internet service subscribers according to the MIS report published by Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) in October 2023. Of the total voice telephony subscribers, 97.58% use mobile service, 2.4% of users are fixed line service, and 0.01% other form of voice service. Nepal Telecom or NT (also known as Nepal Doorsanchar Company Ltd – NDCL), Ncell Axiata Limited, Nepal Satellite Telecom Pvt. Ltd (NSTPL), Smart Telecom Pvt. Ltd (STPL) and CG Telecom P.L. (STM) are the five telecom and mobile network operators active in Nepal. NCell Axiata has 51.40% of the market share based on active subscribers, Nepal Telecom follows with 48.59% and the rest have a 0.01% share in the market. The extent of telecommunication coverage across the country suggests that the availability of networks in the Karnali Province specially the remotes area is comparatively lower than in other provinces. Telecommunication services are primarily focused on the Mid-hill and the Terai regions.

Nepal - 3.5 Food and Additional Suppliers
Nepal’s economy is largely dependent on agriculture and remittances. In 2022, the agriculture sector’s contribution to GDP stood at 23.95% (source: Nepal Economic Forum).
Despite being an agricultural country, Nepal largely depends upon Indian market on the supply of foods and commodities. Rice, one of the major staple food crops in Nepal, is still being imported from India, as the production is less than the demand. Although Nepal has harvested a record production of rice in recent years, it is still far behind in substituting rice imports. Various strategies are required to make Nepal self-sufficient in rice production. Nepal’s per capita rice consumption per year is 137.5 kg, one of the highest in the world. But there is a huge rice yield gap – the difference between attainable yield and potential yield which is between 45-55% in Nepal. [source: Nepali Times – The rise in Rice, June 24, 2020]

Low agricultural surplus is the key reason for Nepal’s growing negative trade balance in food products. Nepal imports rice worth 28 billions of dollars (source online news portal June 24, 2021 – https://english.onlinekhabar.com/nepal-imported-rice-worth-rs-28-6-billion-in-11-months.html) each year mainly from India, China, Japan, Philippines, and Thailand making it a major drain on the national budget. This diverts resources away from achieving food and nutrition security, reducing rural poverty, and the delivery of sustainable development goals (SDGs).
The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) in a recent survey found that about 4.26 million Nepalis eat insufficient diets. There are also regional disparities in household food consumption, with the lowest level in Karnali Province consuming an inadequate diet (22.5%), followed by Sudurpaschim Province (16.9%).
While food security in Nepal has improved in recent years, 4.6 million people are food-insecure, with 20 percent of households mildly food-insecure, 22 percent moderately food-insecure, and 10 percent severely food-insecure, according the 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Overall, households in rural areas of the country—where food prices tend to be higher—are more likely to be food-insecure than people living in urban areas, according to the survey
The retail sector in Nepal is highly fragmented. Approximately 78.55 percent of the population lives in rural areas (according to 2022 Statista), who are highly dependent upon the traditional family-run small stores with a limited selection of products where the use of credit purchase is applicable. While consumers in urban areas have access to supermarkets and convenience stores with a high variety of options. Surface access within the country is difficult and market access is a challenge. Poor infrastructure and high transportation costs negatively impact the price of local food crops and imported goods, especially in mid and high-mountain regions.
The World Bank estimates Nepal’s GDP growth will decrease to 1.9% in the fiscal year 2023 and is estimated to grow by 3.9% in the fiscal year 2024. Nepal has a persistent trade deficit, it has imported USD 15.3 billion worth of goods and services and exported USD 1.74 billion worth of goods and services in the year 2021 according to the data published by the World Bank. Nepal’s main trade partners are India and China due to geographic and infrastructure constraints.
The following product groups represent the highest dollar value in Nepal’s import purchases during 2021.
-
Refined Petroleum worth USD 1.5 billion (9.85%)
-

Regarding the purchasing power of the population as per WFP data the purchasing power of daily wage labor marginally increased in January 2024 compared to December 2023, however remained relatively low, particularly in areas with a higher prevalence of food insecurity.
An unskilled labor could purchase 10.1 kgs of medium rice in the mountains, 10.3 kgs in the hills and 11.4 kgs in the Terai from their daily wage in January, compared to 8.9, 9.2 and 10 kgs respectively in December 2023. The increase in purchasing power is mainly attributable to a decrease in the retail prices of essential food commodities in January 2024 compared to daily wage.
Provincial disparities in purchasing power were observed in January 2024. For example, an unskilled labor could purchase 14 kgs and 12.7 kgs of medium rice with a day’s wage in Koshi and Lumbini provinces, respectively, while in Sudurpaschim and Karnali provinces a daily wage labor could purchase only 8.4 kgs and 9.1 kgs of medium rice, respectively, in January 2024.
The difference in purchasing power is mostly attributed to the variations in the price of food commodities compared to wage rates due to relatively low competition and high transportation costs in remote areas, with a poor road network across the mountain belt of the country.
Migration of youth has led to a serious shortage in labour and families are leaving their land fallow in hilly regions. A million hectares of land is uncultivated in the hilly districts.
Besides high costs of agricultural inputs, low productivity in all three major cereal crops like paddy, wheat and maize are of serious concern. Fragmentation in farm size means challenges with achieving economies of scale in modernisation and corresponding profitability of farming.
It is estimated that Nepal currently produces 10.5 million tons of cereals (5.5 million tons of rice, 2.7 million tons of maize, 2 mil. tons of wheat and about 0.3 million tons of other crops such as millets. There is an estimated supply gap of around 2 million tons of paddy for this year.
India is the main source of food commodities for Nepal. In absence of price stabilisation measures in Nepal, when India announces restrictions on global food exports, there is concern about sudden food price rises across Nepal.

Nepal - 3.5.1 Food Suppliers
Overview
Source: WFP Nepal
The above map illustrates the market centres, road networks and trade route in Nepal. In Nepal, there are various types of markets viz. national, regional and local markets which are categorized on the basis of size, area coverage and volume of trade. Most big markets (e.g. Birgunj, Biratnagar, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj and Dhangadi) are located in the Terai belt and adjacent to Indian border because of easy access to roads, pocket area for food production and proximity to overseas trade (See Figure 4). Most international trades including India are often made from these markets, mainly from Birgunj which is major route for international trade (other than India) through Haldia port in Kolkata, India. Moreover, some hilly markets such as Kathmandu, Pokhara and Surkhet are also considered as major markets which can have larger influences on domestic food prices (e.g. cereals, lentils, vegetables, fish and meat etc.) in the national market. In addition to major markets, there are large number of market centers across the country, mostly located either at the district headquarters or at along the roadside, mainly in the major junctions. These markets (e.g., Dhankuta, Baglung, Ilam, Palpa, Jumla, Dipayal Silgadhi, Sanfebagar etc.) can also play a significant role to meet the local demand in the particular area and are the major market centers to purchase food and non-food items for the people living in remote areas of the mountain and hilly belts.
Despite being an agricultural country, Nepal imports a large number of agricultural commodities as processed and packaged food from other countries to fulfil the needs of its people. (Source: Nepal imports agricultural products worth Rs 250 billion in 10 months (nagariknetwork.com)
Because of a trade imbalance in food commodities as well as an overall trade deficit, cost of food in Nepal is expected to rise. The trend in food prices can be observed at: Nepal Food Inflation. Increased food costs, poor market access, and lack of land ownership have led to food deficit areas in the mid-west and far-west of Nepal.

Retail Sector
Food and retail market in Nepal is expanding from urban to rural markets with an increase of access to roads and information technology. It is expected that the growth of retail markets is over 20 percent, indicating an opportunity of market expansion and investment. It also contributes nearly 15 percent of Nepal’s GDP and provide employment opportunities of over 1.2 million people across the country. In Nepal, local traders mostly hold the retail market business because the country does not exist global supermarket chains. However, the trend of operating supermarkets and marts is increasing over the period. For example, Bhatbhateni Supermarket, Big marts, Salesberry etc. including some local and small-scale marts are operating in different parts of the country.
Moreover, digital market has also been rapidly increasing in Nepal with increasing trend of digital payment mechanism and the prominence of social media like facebook and instrgram. The digital commerce market in Nepal is projected to grow by 9.62 percent (2024 – 2028) resulting in a market volume of an estimated of US$3.35bn in 2028. However Nepali e-commerce is more prevalent in urban areas where road and internet accesses are better.

The Provincial capitals along with major market cities of the respective provinces have adequate capacity to respond to the programme support needs of the agencies. Most of the agencies present in the country have established head offices in Kathmandu along with their support offices in the major cities in other provinces.
As per the Nepal Market Update – January 2024, the cost of food basked in Karnali Province is the highest whereas the lowest is in Madhesh Province followed by Lumbini Province. The cost of essential food items remain persistently high in Karnali Province and mountain belt because of its ruralness. Jumla’s market although capable of providing adequate support within its locality, would not sustain the needs of surrounding districts or areas. A proper channel to access the remote districts of Karnali Province from Birendranagar or Nepalgunj through airways should be planned.

Waste Management and Disposal Services
The Metropolitan City, sub- Metropolitan cities, municipality and rural municipality (local government) have the main responsibility for managing solid waste. The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration (MoFAGA), Solid Waste Management Technical Support Centre (SWMTSC) have also roles and responsibilities for managing the municipal waste.
Under the MoFAGA, Solid Waste Management Technical Support Centre (SWMTSC) is responsible for providing technical support to manage solid waste to the local governments. Currently, municipalities and private companies are involved in the collection of wastes following wastes using the collection point method, waste collection through bell (whistleblowing) and door-to-door collection (Sharma, 2017) and waste collection through mobile apps such as Khaalisisi.com, and doko recyclers. There are some designated landfill sites near major Metro/municipalities for solid waste management.
Safe disposal and sustainable management of Municipal Solid Waste is a problem countrywide. Illegal dumping of waste at different locations and open air burning of waste is a common practice, creating hazards to human health and environment.
Nepal Swachha Batabaran Sirjana Kendra is taking the responsibility of managing the wastes from the public places such as the premises of temples. Clean Nepal has been engaging in the collection of household wastes every once or twice a week and is responsible for managing the animal carcasses within the Kathmandu Valley.
Nepal Pollution Control and Environment Management Center (NEPCEMAC), Sarsafai Jaagaran Sahakari (SaSaJa) cooperative and Sarsafai Jagaran Sanstha (SaSaJa) organization and few scrap dealers were identified working inside Teku Waste Collection Center. "Khaalisisi" (empty bottles) which was founded in 2017 and aims at mitigating the problem of disposing the waste at the landfill site and encourages recycling of wastes. Similar to Khaalisisi.com is another digitized form of waste recycling which is known as "Doko Recyclers". It was founded in 2017 and provides both household and corporate waste management services. Doko and Khaalisisi both up-cycle specific wastes to create new marketable products. Hatti Hatti, Tyre Treasures, and Dhaasoo are among few other companies up cycling solid waste in Kathmandu.

Nepal - 3.7 Waste Management and Recycling Infrastructure Assessment
Overview
Waste management has been a major environmental challenge in Nepal. Rapid and uncontrolled urbanization, lack of public awareness, and poor management by municipalities have intensified environmental problems mostly in urban areas of Nepal. The highest waste category consists of organic waste with 66%, followed by plastics with 12%, and paper and paper products with 9%. The composition analysis of institutional wastes revealed 45% paper and paper products, 22% organic wastes, and 21% plastics.
A report published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) in 2022 on “Solid Waste Account as part of System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) of the Urban municipalities of Nepal” showed that the total amount of waste generated from the country’s municipalities is approximately one million mt/year, of which 3,86,690 mt/year is contributed by households, 2,45,884 mt/year by business houses, 1,03,244 mt/year by educational institutes, 94,392 mt/year by industries, 1,01,507 mt/year by health institutions, and 66,220 mt/year by other sectors.
The country has issued several laws regarding waste disposal and management.
-
Environment Protection Act 2076 (2019): This act aims to amend and consolidate laws relating to the environment.
-
Health Care Waste Management Guideline (2014): Provides guidelines on safe management of health care waste.
-
Solid Waste Management Act, 2068 (2011): This act aims to manage solid waste systematically and effectively by reducing waste at its source, promoting re-use, processing, and proper discharge.
-
Solid Waste Management Rules, 2070 (2013): These rules were issued by the Government of Nepal under the Solid Waste Management Act.
-
Local Self Governance Act, 1999: Provides a framework for local bodies to manage waste within their jurisdictions.
Municipalities are responsible for the collection, transport, treatment, and final disposal of solid waste. Solid Waste is collected in several ways, including door-to-door collection, collection through community bins, roadside pick-up, and self-delivery.
The major landfill site for dumping waste generated in the Kathmandu Valley is Sisdol Landfill in the Nuwakot district. The site is filled up and has been causing environmental pollution in the area. A new sanitary landfill site is under construction at Banchare Danda, which lies 2 km west of the existing Sisdol landfill site. Sites for treatment facilities and sanitary landfills are yet to be identified by many municipalities and waste is currently being disposed of without treatment in crude dumping sites, creating public health risks and environmental problems. Most of the municipalities practice open dumping either on the riverside or roadside. There is no large-scale recycling program initiated by the government, however, the Kathmandu metropolis has recently started making compost from biodegradable household wastes, collected from its Ward 27. There are several private firms engaged in waste collection and recycling of waste. Notable private entities are Kahalisisi, Nepsemyak, and Doko Recyclers, these companies provide various waste management services including collection, transportation, and recycling or disposal of waste materials.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
Apart from the Health Care Waste Management Guidelines issued in 2014, there are no significant rules or laws that address the concern of hazardous waste disposal. Recently, Kathmandu metropolis has started monitoring the waste management practices of health facilities. The waste generated from home appliances, telecommunication devices including batteries, and the waste generated from vehicle maintenance workshops are still dumped in landfill sites.
Medical Waste Overview and Disposal
There is no proper waste management system in place for managing medical waste in Nepal. According to WHO, out of the total amount of waste generated by healthcare activities, about 85% is general, non-hazardous waste and the remaining 15% is considered hazardous material that may be infectious, toxic, or radioactive. A study published by UNDP in February 2022 titled “Need of Healthcare Waste Management System” states that, In Nepal, only a few hospitals have a well-established healthcare waste management system in place. Most hospitals and healthcare facilities either mix hazardous hospital waste with municipal waste and send it to landfill sites as general waste or burn it in the hospital's open space or backyard.
