Trade through the Korala border point has exceeded Rs 11 billion since full operations began in late September, driven largely by a surge in electric vehicle imports from China. Imports reached Rs 10.82 billion, while exports stood at nearly Rs 190 million, mostly handicrafts. More than 2,000 EVs have entered Nepal, generating over Rs 5 billion in customs revenue. Despite extreme winter temperatures in Mustang, steady cargo movement continues, supporting cross-border commerce and Nepal’s shift toward electric mobility.
