Kathmandu. At one time, Hetaunda textile industry, which became the main introduction of Nepali industrial development and domestic production, has its own historical identity. When hearing the name of the industry, the image of 'quality cloth produced in the country' is still fresh in the minds of many Nepalis.
It can be easily assumed that if the Hetaunda textile industry, which has met the market demand by producing domestically, had been in continuous operation, Nepal would not have faced the situation of high dependence on foreign textiles as it is today.
However, this problem is not limited to the textile sector. In recent years, Nepal has become dependent on imports for many products, from daily consumer goods to industrial materials.
