Vehicles manufactured in Nepal will get the registration from now onwards. The Department of Transport Management amended the Transport Management Procedures, Directive 2060 on Thursday, paving the way to register vehicles assembled or manufactured in Nepal. Vehicles assembled in the country by bringing parts from abroad or manufactured within the country will get the registration.

Issuing a notice on Thursday, the Department of Transport said that the customs declaration (LC) will not be required for such number plates.

Earlier, the Motor Vehicle and Transport Management Act-2049 BS and Working Procedure 2060 had made it mandatory to have customs declaration and customs receipt for vehicle registration. Now, the deck has been cleared to register all types of electric and petrol-diesel vehicles made in Nepal. The electric bike ‘Yatri’ made in Nepal had been warning the government to stop its production after it did not get the number plates.
