Swedeshi Bazaar being held on Saturday

Kathmandu, Dec. 10

The Make in Nepal – Swadeshi Campaign, operated in collaboration between the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI) and the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies (MoICS), is organising Swadeshi Bazaar 2025 with the support and coordination of the Department of Industry.

The one-day exhibition, scheduled for Saturday, December 13 at the International Club in Sanepa, Lalitpur, aims to promote quality Nepali products under the theme 'Made in Nepal – Nepal’s Identity'.

The event intends to enhance the capacity of domestic industries and enterprises, promote Nepali production, and support local producers in expanding market access, the CNI informed in a statement on Wednesday.

To promote small, medium and cottage industries, the exhibition will provide stalls free of charge and free entry to the general public. More than 3,000 visitors are expected to participate.

Around 40–50 industries and enterprises will take part in the exhibition, representing sectors including agriculture and agro-technology, food and processed goods, textiles and clothing, handicrafts and arts, ayurvedic and health-related products, decorative items, tea and beverages, and various manufacturing industries.

"Through this platform, participating industries will showcase their products and services publicly, interact directly with consumers, and engage in networking programmes with potential buyers, distributors, business partners and stakeholders," read the statement.

CNI President Birendra Raj Pandey expressed confidence that Swadeshi Bazaar 2025 will highlight the identity of Nepali industry, skills, innovation and entrepreneurship at the national level, and contribute to strengthening the national economy by promoting the consumption of domestic products.

With the government adopting a policy to promote domestic products and industries, the event is expected to boost the morale of Nepali industrialists, said the organisers.
