Ojas Engineering has begun conducting a feasibility study for establishing a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at the Korala border point between Nepal and China. The study, financed by an Rs 1.8 million allocation from the Ministry of Finance, covers an area of 254,366.41 square meters designated for customs facilities, warehouses, and immigration offices. Engineer Roshan Sapkota said the Mustang Customs Office has already collected more than Rs 5 billion in revenue this fiscal year despite operating from just five small rooms. Since August, imports worth nearly Rs 11 billion have passed through the border. Local business communities have urged the government to replace existing tents and temporary shelters with permanent infrastructure.
