Lathes, presses and workshop machinery shipped from our Batala works to Kathmandu, Birgunj, Biratnagar, Butwal and Pokhara. Nepal has been a regular market for us, not an occasional one.
Nepal imports the large majority of its machine tools from India, and a substantial share of India’s conventional lathes are built in Batala. Buying from the works rather than through a chain of traders removes two or three margins from the price, and it means the people who answer your questions are the people who built the machine.
It also means spares. A lathe bought through an intermediary can leave you hunting for a lead screw or an apron gear years later. Ours are made in Batala and can be on a truck the same week.
Hydropower construction and maintenance, agricultural implements, general engineering workshops and the fabrication trade around the Terai industrial corridor. These are the machines Nepali buyers ask for most.
The machine most Nepali workshops start with. Simple mechanics, parts available, repairable locally — which matters more in Nepal than almost anywhere, because a machine down for a week is a machine down for a week.

Payment is by bank transfer against our proforma invoice — an advance on confirmation and the balance before despatch. This is considerably simpler than a Gulf or African export and is one reason Nepali buyers deal with Indian manufacturers directly.
We ship against a Letter of Undertaking, so the machine is exported without IGST. The paperwork travelling with your machine is:
Our AD Code is registered for Nepal export customs, which is a step many first-time exporters get stuck on. It is already done at our end.
You will need your PAN or VAT registration and an import declaration for Nepal customs. Customs duty and VAT are payable in Nepal on arrival and are to the buyer’s account. Your clearing agent at the border handles this; if you do not have one we can suggest agents our customers have used.
Everything moves by road. From Batala the usual route runs down through Punjab and Uttar Pradesh to the border, with the crossing chosen by where you are:
Allow roughly 7 to 12 days from despatch to delivery depending on the destination and time at the border. Border clearance is the variable, not the driving. We quote transport separately at actuals and arrange the Indian leg; you or your agent handle clearance and onward carriage inside Nepal.
Machines up to about 2,500 kg travel on a normal open truck. Above that — the 16 foot lathes and the heavier presses — a low bed trailer is needed and lead time is longer, so tell us the size early.
Every machine is assembled, test run under power and inspected at our works before it is crated. We issue an inspection and dispatch certificate with it, and we can send video of your specific machine running before despatch — useful when you are buying across a border and cannot visit.
Foundation drawings go out at order stage so your civil work can run while the machine is being built. Installation guidance is by phone and WhatsApp, and for larger orders we can arrange for a fitter to travel.
You are also welcome at the works. Batala is a day’s travel from the border and many of our Nepali customers come and see the machine on the floor before confirming.
Message the bed length, capacity or job you need done, and where in Nepal it is going. You will get specifications, price in Indian Rupees and an indication of transport the same working day.
