The project aims to connect multiple provinces and districts to enable high-speed data transfer, voice, and video communication . The expansion project began in 2012 with an initial goal of completing the network within two years, but progress has been slower than planned, with only 46.16% of the work completed by mid-2021 .
The expansion project has faced several hurdles:
The NTA continues to plan for the completion of the remaining fiber optic network, aiming to connect all districts along major highways and expand broadband access nationwide. The project is funded through the Rural Telecommunications Development Fund and involves consultation with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology . In summary, while 1,600 km of fiber optic cables have been installed, the total planned network is significantly larger, with several thousand kilometers still pending completion across various provinces in Nepal .
