Kathmandu: Mahabir Holdings has reported a total trade volume of Rs 1.13 billion during the first nine months of the previous fiscal year.
This figure represents a notable performance for the company, which had recorded a trade volume of Rs 1.93 billion in the calendar year 2024.
The company’s historical trade data shows consistent performance in recent years, with Rs 1.93 billion in 2023, Rs 1.83 billion in 2022, and Rs 1.65 billion in 2021. However, the current nine-month period has seen a 22 percent decline in trade volume compared to previous periods, according to company officials.
Despite the decrease in overall trade volume, Mahabir Holdings has managed to maintain profitability, reporting a 5.6 percent profit margin during this period.
The company, originally registered as Mahabir Modern Pulse Industry in 2014, has established itself as a significant player in Nepal’s food import sector, specializing in the import and distribution of pulses and rice.
Operating under the umbrella of the Kedia Organization, Mahabir Holdings markets its products under the “Yasoda” and “Uttam” brands. The company, owned by Ratna Lal Kedia, has recently undergone financial rating assessments for both short-term and long-term borrowing purposes.
In financial developments, the company has secured ratings for Rs 80 crore in total borrowing capacity. This includes Rs 16 crore allocated for long-term loans and Rs 64 crore for short-term credit facilities.
These financial arrangements are expected to support the company’s ongoing operations and potential expansion plans in Nepal’s competitive food import market.
