<h1>Letter of Exchange expands rail transit protocol to allow containerized and bulk freight via key corridors to Nepal customs yard</h1> A Letter of Exchange amends the Protocol to the Treaty of Transit between the two countries to permit expanded rail-based freight movement-including containerized and an expanded definition of bulk cargo-along specified corridors (Kolkata-Jogbani, Kolkata-Nautanwa, Visakhapatnam-Nautanwa) and direct Jogbani-Biratnagar rail linkage to a Nepal customs yard. The instrument formalizes transit liberalization, enables multimodal transport from named ports to the Nepal cargo station, reflects grant-funded infrastructure, and anticipates complementary measures (integrated check posts, connectivity projects) to streamline customs and cross-border trade, enhancing bilateral and third-country trade routes.
