PM Oli to unveil Nepal’s first eVTOL Deepal flying taxi at NADA Auto Show

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is set to unveil Nepal’s first eVTOL Deepal Flying Taxi at the opening of the NADA Auto Show 2025 in Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu, today.

With this milestone, MAW Vriddhi, in collaboration with Chinese automaker Changan Auto, is signalling the beginning of a new era of mobility in Nepal. The eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft and Deepal EV line-up will be major highlights of the exhibition.

For the first time in Nepal, MAW Vriddhi has also showcased humanoid robots at the show. These life-sized robots will interact directly with visitors, demonstrating human-like movement and communication. With these innovations, the NADA Auto Show is expected to serve as both an automobile exhibition and a celebration of the arrival of a new technological era in Nepal.

Alongside these futuristic technologies, Deepal’s and Avatr’s cutting-edge electric vehicles – the Deepal S05, S07 ICA, E07 and the ultra-premium Avatr 11 – are on display. The newly launched Deepal S05, unveiled in Nepal just last week, has already received an overwhelming response in a matter of days. Its unique combination of luxury, style and advanced technology has quickly made the new SUV popular. As Nepal’s number one luxury EV brand, stalls A1 and A2 have been set up to showcase Deepal’s entire line-up, giving visitors the opportunity to experience the vehicles first-hand.

“NADA Auto Show has always been the stage for presenting breakthrough technologies. This year, the unveiling of Nepal’s first flying taxi by the Prime Minister himself is truly a historic achievement,” said Vivek Sikaria, Managing Director of MAW Vriddhi. “By introducing the flying taxi, humanoid robots and Deepal’s disruptive EV line-up, we are redefining the future of mobility in Nepal.”
