EV4 min readNepal Needs 10,000 EV Chargers by 2030 — a Tenfold Leap That Will Decide Its Hydropower BetThe opportunities the study sets out are genuine — lower operating costs and job creation, cleaner air, modernized public transport and fewer road accidents, more efficient urban mobility and added appeal for tourists. But each of them is contingent on closing the same gaps: the chargers, the standards, the financing and the skills. Whether Nepal can turn 1,000 stations into 10,000 is, in the end, the test that will decide whether the rest of the promise is realized.Dipesh Ghimire·8 Jun, 2026

From Insurance4 min readFrom Insurance Vaults to the Trading Floor: 59 to Face Charges as Insurers' Billions Allegedly Fueled Private Share DealsIt is under sections 140 and 141 of that Act that the CIB has recommended prosecution — for misappropriation of insurance funds, insider trading and price manipulation in the securities market — seeking maximum imprisonment, fines and confiscation of the established bigo. For now, these remain charges yet to be tested. Several of the names belong to prominent figures in Nepal's business establishment, and the real measure of the case will be whether it holds up in court against well-resourced defendants — with the presumption of innocence intact until it does.Dipesh Ghimire·8 Jun, 2026
government4 min readNepal Finally Swings the Axe on 31 State Bodies — the Real Test Is Whether the Savings MaterializeUltimately, this is where Nepal's reforms have always been decided — in the gap between announcement and execution. Routing the cull through the budget and accompanying legislation gives it more force than the bare pledges previous governments made and abandoned, which is reason for cautious optimism. But whether the 31 bodies actually wind down rather than linger on paper, whether their people and assets are redeployed, and whether the promised Rs 20 billion ever shows up in the books — that, and not the length of the list, is what will tell whether this time was different.Dipesh Ghimire·8 Jun, 2026
Top3 min readWhy a Stock's Price Falls After a Bonus Share — and Why 'Free Shares' Are Not Really FreeThe bottom line is liberating in its simplicity. A bonus share increases the share count, lowers the per-share price and leaves total value unchanged. Lasting wealth in the market comes from a company's earnings actually growing — not from slicing the same pie into thinner pieces. The wise investor reads the arithmetic before chasing the announcement. Dipesh Ghimire·8 Jun, 2026
Money Came Home2 min readMoney Came Home, the System Didn't: Why Returnee Migrants' Businesses FailThat is why, on returning from abroad, it is essential to bring back more than money — business systems and processes, sound management capacity, the skill to build teams and lead them, and long-term business thinking and planning. Because the future is built not by money alone, but by systems and by thinking. The conclusion is simple: only if you can build a system do you become, in the true sense, an owner rather than a worker. Otherwise, the capital earned abroad risks running dry at home — and the same departure ticket waits to be bought all over again.Dipesh Ghimire·8 Jun, 2026
