Vehicles made in Nepal are facing big hurdles before the law recognises them

It has been months since Lhakpa Sherpa has been trying to register his, made-in-Nepal electric bike, Yatri P-1. The bike does not have a number plate and every time when there is a traffic police check, he has to explain to the police why the bike, like other vehicles made in Nepal, does not have a number plate and how he is been trying to get one.

“When I talk to the company, they tell me there is no law to register vehicles made in Nepal. They tell me the process is ongoing and ask me to wait, but it’s frustrating,” says Sherpa who questions Nepal’s ridiculous rule about making it tough for Nepal-made vehicles to register.
