According to NAC Spokesperson Ramesh Poudel, the corporation has paid more than Rs 5.79 billion in installments up to mid-July 2024 since he assumed the management of the corporation.


The NAC has requested the EPF and the CIT to waive the interest, fines and penalties and to facilitate the repayment of loan obligations as the NAC’s business, too, was hit hard by the adverse effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
