Rajesh Agarwal, the Chairman of the Industry Committee of Federation of Nepal Industry and Commerce, has said that due to the unstable policy, the industrial sector could not be built. He said this at the first session of Lumbini's power on 'slow infrastructure and unstable policies, production challenges' organized by Kantipur Media Group on Wednesday.

For 20 years in Lumbini  Investing more than twice, the industrialist could not be fit for the bank, "he said. .

Lumbini province produces more than 50 percent of the country's cement and there is a possibility of export, he said. "According to the mining department, there is a reserve of 1 billion 100 million tons of limestone, the most of which is in Lumbini," he said, "If you go south from Lumbini, there is limestone only after 1000 kilometers". So there is a lot of potential for cement export.'

He said that if ICP is not available in Lumbini with trains, the cost of transportation will be higher. "One sack of cement costs 50 rupees to transport to Delhi, India, and 25 rupees to send it by train," he said. The government had to reduce the cost and operation of the industry by facilitating the infrastructure.' He told that the industrial sector will not develop because the industrialists will be limited in the conversation until they see the assurance of profit.

He said that ICP with trains should be built in Lumbini after Birganj . "When talking about slow infrastructure, ICP should have been built in Lumbini after Birgunj, but without studying, it was built in Biratnagar in the second phase and Nepalgunj in the third," he said. If the government has limited resources, the government should also calculate and invest.'

Butwal Narayanghat road is being constructed for the past 9 years  He said that he is hopeful that the one-way road will be operated this year. "A business does not run on promises, it needs a different speed to run a business," he said. We need to increase our speed capacity.' 

He says that India is building 40 km of 6-lane road per year, unless Nepal also increases the speed, the competitiveness of the industry will not increase. "After setting up the industry, its cost and operating expenses should be minimal," he said, "Industry establishment  If costs and operating expenses are not supported, we cannot survive . Even if the government provides two-level customs protection, if the production cost of goods is high, traders will import them and sell them.'
