Mint Explainer | Why duty-free edible oil imports from Nepal are becoming a concern for Indian producers
Duty-free imports of refined edible oils from Nepal to India, the world’s largest edible oil importer, surged 17-fold to 804,000 tonnes in 2025 from 47,295 tonnes in 2023. These imports touched 284,976 tonnes in the first five months of 2026, posing a key concern for India’s vegetable oil industry. Mint explains the jump in the backdrop of Nepal’s limited edible oil domestic production.
