NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2026 has been announced as one of the largest automotive events in the country, bringing together more than 55 vehicle and mobility brands at Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu. According to the organizers, the expo will run for six days, from August 11 to 16 (Shrawan 26–31), and is positioned as a key platform for new vehicle launches and future mobility technologies.

- Electric passenger cars
- Motorcycles and scooters
- Commercial vehicles

Final prices will depend on individual distributors and tax structures at launch.

Organizers say the expo will host 51 exhibition stalls, representing:

Alongside vehicles, visitors can expect to see charging equipment, connected-vehicle technologies, fleet and logistics solutions, and other mobility-related products.
Why it matters for Nepali buyers
Nepal’s market is rapidly shifting towards electric and low-emission vehicles, supported by tax incentives and rising fuel costs. The NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2026 is expected to mirror this trend, with electric and hybrid products taking a large share of display space.
For buyers considering an EV or a new family car, the expo offers:
- A chance to compare multiple brands and models side by side
- Early exposure to vehicles that may arrive later in the year or in 2027
- Direct interaction with brand representatives about warranty, after-sales support, and charging options
Learning sessions will also be a part of the expo, offering insights into mobility and finance, battery management, and emerging technologies like ethanol solutions. International speakers and experts from government and the automobile industry will participate, providing a comprehensive view of current and future mobility challenges.
With dozens of forthcoming models under one roof, the Bhrikutimandap event is set to give a clear view of how Nepal’s vehicle choices are evolving, especially in the electric segment.
