Bhadau 13, Kathmandu.
Are you planning to visit the 18th NADA Auto Show 2026, currently ongoing at Bhrikutimandap in Kathmandu, with your family? Don’t miss the ‘Made in Nepal/Made for Nepal’ pavilion to see EVs, motorcycles, robots, and batteries manufactured and assembled in Nepal.
If you are planning to visit the 18th NADA Auto Show 2026, currently ongoing at Bhrikutimandap in Kathmandu, with your family on Sunday, then this time the ‘Made in Nepal/Made for Nepal’ pavilion is a must-visit place on your itinerary.
Most visitors to the auto show, who come to see cars, motorcycles, and new technology, often focus on the new models of large international brands. However, for the first time, NADA has given special priority to vehicles and automobile products manufactured and assembled in Nepal through a separate ‘Made in Nepal/Made for Nepal’ pavilion.
In this pavilion, one can directly get information about electric motorcycles and scooters produced by Nepali industries, cars assembled in Nepal, automotive batteries, lubricants, helmets, tires, and various components. According to NADA, there are 8 stalls in this pavilion.
From Vehicles to Batteries Made in Nepal
The most attractive aspect of this year’s pavilion is the attempt to showcase the potential for production and assembly in Nepal. From Yatri’s electric scooter, Meta EVs assembled in Nepal, to Hyundai vehicles and Asian Batteries’ products, all are demonstrating the potential for developing the automobile industry within the country.
The situation where all materials required for vehicle production are made in Nepal has not yet been achieved. However, the presence of Nepali industries is expanding in areas such as batteries, lubricants, helmets, and various components. Therefore, this pavilion is not just an exhibition of products, but also an opportunity to understand where Nepal’s automobile industry stands and where it can reach.
A Different Experience for Children When Visiting with Family
The auto show is not just about seeing big and expensive cars; it’s also about understanding what is being produced in one’s own country. Parents visiting with their children can also consider this pavilion as an opportunity to directly show children about Nepali industries, technology, electric vehicles, and job creation.
According to Anup Baral, coordinator of NADA, the auto show organizer, this time more than 200 stalls have been set up in an area of three lakh square feet. A total of 53 vehicle brands are participating, including 23 passenger vehicles, 17 light commercial vehicles, and 13 two-wheelers.

What to See with Family?
If you are visiting the auto show with your family, you can make your tour a bit more organized. First, visit the ‘Made in Nepal/Made for Nepal’ pavilion to learn about Nepali products and assembly.
Second, inquire with company representatives about the price, range, features, and after-sales service of any new EV, car, or motorcycle you like.
Third, educate children about new technology and future mobility. This time, humanoid robots and quadruped robots have also been featured as special attractions at the auto show.
Fourth, even if you don’t have immediate plans to buy a car, you can gather information for the future by comparing the technology and prices of various brands.
NADA Auto Show is ongoing at Bhrikutimandap from Bhadau 9 to 14.
NADA President Surendra Kumar Upreti says, “If you are visiting the auto show with your family, don’t just look at the shiny cars of foreign brands, but also don’t miss seeing the story of vehicles and automobile products that have started to be made in Nepal.”
“Watching ‘Made in Nepal’ at this year’s NADA Auto Show is not just about seeing one stall, but also about seeing the potential of Nepal’s automobile industry,” Upreti said.
