The Ease of Doing Business Index 2017 by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), World
Bank Group places Nepal second only to Bhutan among all South Asian Countries.

China’s rapidly growing economy also provides duty free access to approximately 8,000
products in Nepal.

Currently, the nation’s major focus lies in the hydropower sector where the GoN intends to
install 26 GW (42 GW considered to be financially viable) of hydropower capacity by 2035.

Currently Nepal is in the midst of an energy crisis. 40 % of the people of Nepal have no access to
electricity. 70 % of the energy consumed inNepal comes from burning wood for fuel
From the existing 800 MW of installed capacity, domestic demand is expected to grow to more
than 6,000 MWs by 2030. This will require more than approximately US$ 6.45 billion in down
stream infrastructure investment.

This massive development will only begin unlock Nepal’s energy sector potential.

The GoN’s current plans are to develop 6,000 MW of storage and run of river projects which will
collectively produce 10,000 MW by 2026.

hydropower sector has attracted most of the country’s foreign direct investment
(FDI). According to the Department of Industry, 73 (only 2% of the total) projects have been
registered as energy projects. But in terms of the foreign investment pledged, energy-based
projects comprise 46% of the total.
