Kathmandu, November 6, 2026 — Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has decided to keep its fuel depots and provincial offices operational during the Tihar public holidays to maintain an uninterrupted supply of petroleum products.
The arrangement has been made to ensure that consumers do not face difficulties obtaining fuel during the festive period.
According to NOC spokesperson Manoj Kumar Thakur, facilities in 13 locations will remain open depending on local requirements. These include Biratnagar, Amlekhgunj, Thankot, Pokhara, Bhairahawa, Surkhet, Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj, Dang, Janakpur, Charali, Birgunj and Dipayal.
The corporation said the decision prioritizes consumer convenience and aims to maintain the continuity of fuel distribution services throughout the holidays.
Kathmandu Valley consumers can exchange empty LPG cylinders for filled cylinders from other brands at standard prices as floods disrupt transport and fuel supplies.
