Nepal’s Import Basket Expands with Vegetables and Rice Imports Rising 45–68%
According to NRB’s Mid-September 2025/26 report, Nepal’s vegetable imports rose 44.8% to Rs. 2.97 billion, while rice and paddy imports climbed 67.8% to Rs. 5.60 billion.

Gold Imports Up 115% as Nepali Traders Boost Bullion Demand – NRB Macroeconomic Update
Gold imports in Nepal surged 114.7% to Rs. 3.42 billion in the first two months of FY 2025/26, driven by festive demand, strong remittance inflows, and lower global prices. The metal now represents 1.1% of total imports, according to NRB’s macroeconomic report.

Aircraft Spare Parts Imports Soar 357% in FY 2025/26 – NRB Highlights Record Increase
Nepal’s aircraft spare parts imports skyrocketed 357.7% to Rs. 4.06 billion in the first two months of FY 2025/26, driven by airline fleet upgrades, maintenance overhauls, and expanding flight operations. The aviation sector is recovering strongly, with increased investment from domestic carriers, though analysts caution that rising high-value imports could intensify the trade deficit unless offset by local aviation services and MRO development.

Transport Equipment Imports Climb 32% – NRB Reports Strong Growth in Vehicle Spare Parts
NRB’s Mid-September 2025/26 data shows Nepal’s transport equipment imports surged 31.7% to Rs. 20.58 billion, making it the third-largest import category after petroleum and crude soybean oil. The rise reflects higher demand for vehicles, spare parts, and construction machinery amid economic recovery and infrastructure expansion. Analysts warn that this growth, while positive for industrial momentum, may add pressure to Nepal’s trade deficit if local manufacturing capacity isn’t strengthened.

The spike highlights strong domestic demand and agricultural activity but also raises concerns over the growing trade imbalance and dependence on imported fuel and inputs.

Crude Soybean Oil Becomes Nepal’s Second-Largest Import with Rs 21.6 Billion in Two Months
According to NRB’s Mid-September 2025/26 data, crude soybean oil has become Nepal’s second-largest import, valued at Rs. 21.64 billion in two months and accounting for 7.1% of total imports. This surge supports Nepal’s refining industry and export earnings but also deepens its reliance on imported raw materials. Petroleum remains the top import at Rs. 39.57 billion, while refined soybean oil continues to lead Nepal’s exports — highlighting both industrial growth and trade imbalance challenges.
