Planning to Visit NADA Auto Show
If you are planning a family trip to the 18th NADA Auto Show 2026 at Bhrikutimandup, Kathmandu, there is one destination that should be at the top of your itinerary: the ‘Made in Nepal / Made for Nepal’ pavilion.
While most visitors flock to the auto show to admire shiny new models from major global automotive giants, NADA has introduced a dedicated pavilion to highlight domestically manufactured and assembled vehicles and automotive components.
From Local EV Assembly to Batteries: What’s Inside the Pavilion?
The core appeal of this year’s pavilion is demonstrating the potential of local vehicle manufacturing and industrial assembly in Nepal. Featuring 8 specialized stalls, visitors can gain firsthand knowledge of locally manufactured and assembled products, including:
Electric Two-Wheelers: Domestic electric scooters and motorcycles, including Yatri.
Assembled Cars: Locally assembled passenger vehicles from brands like Meta EV and Hyundai.
Automotive Components: Nepalese-made automotive batteries (such as Asian Batteries), lubricants, helmets, tires, and spare components.
While Nepal is still developing the full ecosystem required for complete end-to-end vehicle manufacturing, sectors like batteries, lubricants, and components are growing rapidly. The pavilion serves not just as a product display, but as a lens into where Nepal’s automotive industry stands today—and where it is heading tomorrow.
An Educational Experience for Children and Families
Visiting the NADA Auto Show is no longer just about admiring luxury imported cars; it is an educational experience for the entire family.
For parents visiting with children, the ‘Made in Nepal’ pavilion provides a practical demonstration of domestic technology, industrial progress, electric mobility, and job creation in Nepal.
