NADA Transforms into Federation: Calls 49th Annual General Assembly
2nd December 2025, Kathmandu
NADA Automobiles Association of Nepal (NADA) has announced its 49th Annual General Assembly (AGM). The meeting will take place on Poush 9th at The Plaza, Lalitpur. The primary agenda item is the crucial proposal for NADA Federation Transformation.
NADA Federation Transformation
This change promises a strengthened representative body for the nation’s diverse automotive sector. The decision to call the AGM follows resolutions passed in NADA’s 22nd and 24th Central Executive Committee meetings.
Association President Karan Chaudhary chaired these vital meetings, held on Bhadra 19th and Mangsir 15th, respectively.
Why the Change to a Federation?
The decision to transition NADA into a Federation is a strategic move. This change aims to empower the institution further.
The proposed structure will establish a new identity for the body. It will significantly enhance its representation and coordination within the automotive industry.
A Federation model allows for a broader, more inclusive representation of the auto ecosystem, including importers, distributors, manufacturers, and dealers.
Strengthening Sectoral Representation
A Federation structure is designed to be more robust. It is expected to create a more effective platform for advocacy. Currently, NADA is the exclusive national-level organization for the automotive sector.
The transformation will solidify its position as the unified voice for the industry. This will ensure that the concerns and needs of the auto business are represented more powerfully before government agencies and the public. The industry believes this change will facilitate better policy dialogue and regulatory adjustments.
The Role of the 49th Annual General Assembly
The 49th AGM is a landmark event. It will be solely focused on passing the resolution for the NADA Federation Transformation. Members will vote on this pivotal structural change.

Stakeholders anticipate the Federation will establish a new, strong identity. It is expected to improve coordination among various industry segments.
The transformation should lead to a more organized and unified approach to challenges. The automotive industry is a significant contributor to Nepal’s economy.
A stronger representative body, like the proposed Federation, can better advocate for growth-oriented policies. This includes addressing issues related to taxation, import regulations, and infrastructure development.
Ultimately, the NADA Federation Transformation is seen as a necessary step for the long-term prosperity and stability of the Nepali automotive market.
The industry eagerly awaits the outcome of the AGM. It is a defining moment for all associated with the Nepali auto business.
