NADA is set to host the 18th NADA Auto Show 2026 from Bhadra 9 to 14 at Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu. This year marks NADA’s 50th golden year, with HP Lubricants as the main sponsor. The event will highlight the full spectrum of the automotive ecosystem, emphasizing the 'Make in Nepal' initiative and featuring a diverse range of international and local brands.
Visitors who buy digital tickets in advance through the Khalti app or by scanning the official Khalti QR code will get up to 50% early-bird discount on both regular and student tickets. This offer is for a limited time only, so buyers who want cheaper entry will need to book early.
The exhibition will cover 300,000 square feet and host 53 vehicle brands, including 23 passenger vehicles, 17 light commercial vehicles, and 13 two-wheelers. Notably, the show will spotlight two-wheelers and four-wheelers assembled in Nepal, aligning with the government's policy to promote local production. This initiative has led to the operation of over half a dozen assembly plants in Nepal, aiming to build public trust in the quality and reliability of these locally produced vehicles.
In addition to vehicles, the show will feature over 200 stalls offering auto technology, parts, lubricants, finance, and insurance services. 70 companies will provide essential parts and technology, such as tires, batteries, engine oils, helmets, bearings, gaskets, filters, diagnostic tools, garage equipment, GPS, telematics systems, and EV charging equipment.
For those looking to purchase vehicles, the show will serve as a 'one-stop solution' with 10 commercial banks and financial institutions offering competitive interest rates and instant loan approvals at their stalls. Special financial packages for electric vehicles will be a key attraction, making the process seamless for buyers.
NADA has invited auto fans, young buyers, and students to visit the show and check out the latest mobility trends in one place. The event is expected to inject new enthusiasm into the market, highlighting the evolving role of the automobile sector in Nepal's economy.
The exhibition will also feature an International Business Pavilion and a 'Made in Nepal / Made for Nepal' pavilion to promote domestic production and assembly. According to NADA's president, Surendra Kumar Upreti, the show aims to change the traditional perception of auto shows by highlighting the industries that keep vehicles running for years.
