Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi

Industry, Commerce and Supplies Minister Gauri Kumari stated that progress has been made in resolving issues hindering Nepali tea exports to India and that confusion surrounding the implementation of Maximum Retail Price (MRP) has been cleared. She informed the House of Representatives that discussions with Indian ministries and the Nepali Embassy in New Delhi are ongoing to facilitate tea exports, and the Department of Customs has been tasked with ensuring imported goods display MRP.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Nepali tea exports to India have become smoother after diplomatic efforts led to the Indian Tea Board revising a directive that had previously disrupted shipments. Spokesperson Lok Bahadur Poudel Chhetri stated that coordination between the Nepali Embassy in New Delhi and the ministry was instrumental in convincing India to amend the directive.
