Nepal has reportedly sought access to two additional Indian ports, Mundra in Gujarat and Dhamra in Odisha, to facilitate trade with other nations, during the recent two-day Joint Secretary-level meeting between the two countries.
It currently uses Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Haldia in Kolkata for its international trade. India has given a positive reaction to the proposal but a concrete agreement is yet to be made, reports quoted an official of Nepal’s Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies as saying.
