• Expand national highway networks to improve logistics and mobility

His remarks confirmed that the government views the auto industry as a national priority.

NAIMA Pushes for Industry Growth and Exhibition Expansion

NAIMA President Ritu Singh Vaidya emphasized the association's efforts to:

• Advocate for long-term policy support

• Promote the automotive sector’s 4.7% contribution to employment

• Urge the government to build a larger, purpose-built exhibition center

The current venue, though buzzing with activity, lacks the space for Nepal’s growing automotive ambitions.

Live Panels, Interactions & Community Engagement

Every day, attendees participate in:

• Industry panels with thought leaders

• Interactive discussions on EV tech, charging, and policy

• Workshops on vehicle maintenance and trends

This focus on education and discussion transforms the event into more than a product showcase—it’s an evolving knowledge hub.

What’s Next for Nepal’s Mobility Sector?

The NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025 isn’t just a one-off event — it’s a preview of the road ahead. With more EVs, smarter transport, and stronger public-private cooperation, Nepal’s mobility transformation is underway.

What to Expect Post-Expo:

• More EV charging infrastructure

• Revisions to EV tax and import policies

• Interest in local EV assembly and R&D

• Growing urban mobility innovations and apps

Nepal is no longer just catching up, it’s driving forward.
With a successful expo, strong brand interest, and government support, Nepal is on the fast track to becoming a key player in the South Asian EV and mobility space.

The future is electric, local, and on the move.
