“Nepal chose China over the United States”: The explicit warning appears to be an alarm to Indian auto manufacturers EV

India has lost a main car market – not in Europe or Africa. It is Nepal. For the first time ever, Chinese car makers exceeded Indian brands to become the largest car sellers in Nepal, where they got a market share of 52.5 % in the fiscal year 25.

“This is a huge deal,” the Jayant Mondhra market was written on LinkedIn. “Maruti, Tata, Mahendra and other India cars have dominated the Nepalese car market.” He says this hegemony has now evaporated – and what is worse, this happened in a level stadium.

Nepal, a nation in power that includes 85 % of the electricity obtained from the clean hydroelectric power, has seen that electric vehicles are a strategic step to reduce their dependence on gasoline and imported diesel-and all came from India. The definitions and import duties have reduced EVS, making electric cars much cheaper than the ICE.

The result? “In the fiscal year 25, it was 75 % of all new cars sold in Nepal Electric,” Mondahara indicated. “70 % of these came from China.” Chinese car manufacturers were not just a dent – they swept the market.

To mundhra, the numbers put an uncomfortable fact. ))

It also refers to the Indian market, where Chinese brands such as MG’s Windsor and BYD make fixed achievements. He said: “Windsor Nixon Tata and others left in dust – even while pushing heavy import duties. However, their cars are cheaper.”

The only reason that Indian car makers face the same survey here? “They must sit and thank the government of India for maintaining the Indian market protected. Otherwise, things had played just like Nepal.”
