CHITWAN: The Sixth Chitwan International Industrial Expo is to be organized in Chitwan from December 17 to 19.

It is being co-organized by the Chitwan Association of Industries and the Confederation of Nepalese Industries.

Information about this was shared at a press meet here today. The preparations for the expo have reached the final phase.

Association President Trilochan Kandel said the expo will feature 200 stalls, including 50 from India. The expo aims to promote the industrial sector hit by COVID-19. It is estimated to cost Rs 25 million to conclude the event.

The institutional saving is, however, expected to be just around Rs 500 thousand to Rs 700 thousand. The objective of the expo is to support reviving the nation’s economy hit by the pandemic instead of securing a profit, he said.
