The Ministry of Infrastructure Development (Nepali: पूर्वाधार विकास मन्त्रालय) is a federal ministry of Nepal established on 13 May, 2026. This ministry is responsible for planning, implementation and oversight of the nation's large scale physical assets including road networks, transport systems and urban facilities.[1]
The ministry was established under the administration of Balendra Shah-led government after approval of Nepal Government (Work Division) Regulations, 2083. The ministry was formed through the merger of formerly separate Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Urban Development alongside the absorption of Water Infrastructure wing from the dissolved Ministry of Water Supply.[2]
