Nepal and India have signed an agreement to expand rail connectivity for cargo transport from India’s Kolkata/Visakhapatnam to Nepal’s Biratnagar–Jogbani and Nautanwa (Sunauli).
During a meeting between Nepal’s Minister of Industry, Commerce, and Supplies Anil Kumar Sinha and Indian counterpart Piyush Goyal, the bilateral transport treaty was amended to allow all types of cargo to be transported, which is expected to facilitate trade and reduce costs.
