The Government of Nepal’s Council of Ministers, during meetings held on Shrawan 20 and 26, 2083 BS, approved wide-ranging decisions concerning economic relief, agricultural development, transport infrastructure and public administration. According to the official four-page compilation, the government decided to provide an 80 percent premium subsidy for agriculture, livestock and medicinal herb insurance policies with insured amounts of up to Rs 1 crore, while maintaining a 50 percent subsidy for insured amounts exceeding Rs 1 crore. The Cabinet also approved a complete exemption from Value Added Tax (VAT) and the Clean Infrastructure Investment Fee for electric ambulances and electric hearses imported or manufactured in Nepal. In other economic and institutional decisions, the government appointed Yangki Ukyaab as Chief Executive Officer of the Investment Board Nepal and Nagendra Sah of Dhanusha as Executive Director of Nepal Oil Corporation. It also approved the merger of the Nepal Intermodal Transport Development Committee with Nepal Transit and Warehousing Company Limited, repealing the committee’s existing formation order.

In infrastructure and energy development, the Cabinet set a target to complete the Kathmandu–Terai/Madhesh Fast Track Project by the end of Chaitra 2086 BS, establishing a revised completion deadline for the strategically important expressway. The government also approved the acquisition of approximately 208.66 square metres of private land in Kathmandu Metropolitan City Ward No. 15 for the Kathmandu Ring Road Improvement Project, following a High Court Patan order.

These decisions support infrastructure development and energy cooperation but do not establish that construction or land acquisition has already been completed.
