Presenting the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel stated that the government will lower its current shareholding—currently exceeding 90%—to expand public participation. As per the new policy, the shareholding of the general public in Nepal Telecom will be raised to 30%, aligning with efforts to promote public ownership in state-owned enterprises.
