Industry Ministry unveils 39‑point action plan for public service delivery

KATHMANDU: The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies has unveiled a 39‑point action plan to ensure the effectiveness of public service delivery.

The plan includes policy and legal facilitation for the promotion of business governance, micro‑enterprise development for poverty alleviation, protection and promotion of traditional and local businesses of the Dalit community, and the creation of employment opportunities.

To implement the measures, the Ministry has set a mid‑February 2026 deadline to prepare the draft bill and amend existing guidelines to enable an industrial and business environment that promotes investment.

The action plan also includes process simplification to provide loans for startups, safe and systematic records management, company registration and other measures.

It addresses policy reforms on multilateral trade and the implementation of related policies and capacity building, and seeks to enhance bilateral trade and the transport system.

Ministry’s spokesperson, Jitendra Basnet, said the move is aimed at implementing projects announced in the current fiscal year’s budget and that different line agencies of the Ministry will be held accountable for implementing the action plan.
