Why This Matters
Infrastructure Development Ministry gets the largest capital allocation of any federal body — Rs. 1,027.11 crore capital budget. Each km of blacktop reduces logistics costs for farmers, cuts accident risk, and opens remote communities to markets. The 4-lane Narayangadh-Butwal section alone is a game-changer for Nepal's east-west connectivity and industrial corridor.
✅ Impact
4-lane cuts travel time, reduces accidents significantly
1,000 km blacktop reduces agri logistics costs
275 bridges connect remote communities to markets
⚠️ Historical Challenge
Nepal typically absorbs only 60-70% of capital budget
Contractor quality and procurement delays remain
