Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has stated that large industries such as iron mines and fertilizer factories are in the process of being established within the country. He also mentioned that closed industries are being prepared to operate in a new format, and thus there is no need to worry about the consumption of the energy produced.

On the occasion of the silver jubilee of the Independent Power Producers’ Association, Nepal (IPPAN), Prime Minister Oli stated in today’s program that energy itself creates avenues for consumption, so there is no need to worry about its sale. The government has prepared a roadmap to produce 28,500 megawatts of electricity within the next 11 years.

“We have eight industrial zones. We are opening the Dhauwadi iron mine and a fertilizer factory. Gas production is starting in Dailekh. Industries that were destroyed are being revived. All of these will consume energy,” Prime Minister Oli said.

Praising the contribution of energy producers who are working to modernize and develop the country, bringing it from darkness to light, he said, “You invest; you don’t need to keep giving others a share of your investment.”

Similarly, Prime Minister Oli clarified that the government has introduced ordinances to amend various laws to serve the people and accelerate development. He stated that these ordinances will be presented in the parliamentary session scheduled to take place in 15 days and will be passed within two months.
