NEPAL
DATA CENTERS
Data-centre opportunities in Nepal should be assessed against customer demand, lawful data-handling requirements, carrier diversity, power quality, cooling, seismic risk, land and building approvals, and the economics of operating at the proposed scale.
Nepal's Digital Infrastructure Opportunity
Do not assume a blanket domestic-storage mandate or captive demand. Map the current laws, regulator directives, procurement rules, and contractual security requirements that apply separately to government, banking, insurance, telecom, healthcare, and other customers. Validate willingness to migrate and pay through documented customer interviews or commitments.
- Ask each regulated prospect which workloads may leave its premises, which must remain in Nepal, and which approvals apply
- Test government demand against live procurement plans rather than policy language alone
- Obtain carrier route maps and confirm physically diverse paths, international gateways, latency, capacity, and restoration terms
- Model current tariff schedules, demand charges, backup generation, outages, power-conditioning losses, and escalation
- Secure a site-specific utility capacity study and proposed service terms; do not assume uninterrupted supply
Investment Landscape
A data-centre proposal can involve foreign-investment approval plus communications, energy, building, environmental, security, privacy, and sector-customer requirements. Ownership eligibility and the approval route depend on the precise activities and current restricted list.
- Confirm foreign-equity eligibility and whether any local participation is required
- Verify any technology-park or tax incentive against current eligibility rules
- Confirm whether any public-sector colocation or partnership route is currently open and competitively procurable
- Request written carrier proposals covering route diversity, service levels, remedies, installation time, and cross-connect costs
- Commission climate and mechanical modelling; altitude alone does not establish cooling efficiency
