Kathmandu is gearing up for a significant automotive event as the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2026 is scheduled to take place from August 11th to August 16th, 2026 (Shrawan 26 to 31, 2083 BS) at the Bhrikuti Mandap Exhibition Hall. The Nepal Automobile Dealers Association (NAIMA) has announced that the expo will be a launchpad for more than 40 brand-new products, promising a glimpse into the future of mobility in Nepal.
What to Expect at the Expo
During a press conference, NAIMA Mobility Expo Coordinator Gaurav Sharada revealed the exciting lineup. The expo will showcase a diverse range of new vehicles, including the latest motorcycles, scooters, cars, and commercial vehicles. Beyond just the vehicles themselves, attendees can also look forward to the launch of essential automotive components such as batteries, chargers, and spare parts. This comprehensive approach highlights the growing ecosystem supporting the automotive sector in Nepal.
EVs and Beyond: A Glimpse into Nepal’s Evolving Market
The inclusion of a wide array of electric vehicles (EVs) and related accessories is particularly noteworthy. Nepal’s automotive market is rapidly shifting towards electrification, driven by environmental concerns, rising fuel prices, and government incentives. Major players like BYD (represented by Cimex Inc.), MG, and Tata (Sipradi Trading Pvt. Ltd.) are expected to showcase their latest offerings, potentially including new EV models that could challenge the current market dynamics. With the NEA charging network expanding and boasting over 1200 charging stations nationwide, the infrastructure for EVs is steadily improving, making these new launches highly relevant for Nepali consumers.
The expo isn’t just about EVs; traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and hybrid options will also be present, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of the Nepali market. The presence of established brands like Hyundai (Laxmi Intercontinental Pvt. Ltd.), Toyota, and others indicates a continued demand for a broad spectrum of automotive solutions.
