The government of Nepal has officially blacklisted ten construction and supply companies, preventing them from engaging in public procurement activities for specific periods. This decision was made on Ashar 25.
The Public Procurement Monitoring Office (PPMO), which falls under the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, issued the ban. It acted based on decision made in accordance with Sub-section (1) of Section 63 of the Public Procurement Act, 2063.
Key Blacklisted Companies and Ban Durations
Among the companies facing this ban is Mahadev Khimti Nirman Sewa Pvt. Ltd., a construction firm owned by Ravi Singh, who is a former president of the Federation of Contractors’ Associations of Nepal. This company has been banned for three years. Additionally, Pappu-Mahadev JV, a joint venture between Singh’s company and Sumit Rauniyar’s Pappu Construction Pvt. Ltd., was also blacklisted for three years. This action followed a recommendation from the Hulaki Highway Directorate in Itahari.
Another company, Shrestha Construction Company (Hetauda) Pvt. Ltd., owned by Subash Shrestha, also received a three-year ban based on a recommendation from the Itahari office. Global Drugs Suppliers (Dhangadhi), owned by Taraprasad Pudasaini, was blacklisted for one year following a letter from Triveni Municipality of Bajura.
