Amid the ongoing political turmoil in neighboring Nepal, the Indian government is adopting a cautious "wait-and-watch" approach as trade experts warn that prolonged instability in the country could disrupt supply chains and affect exports.

A government official said that, for now, there is no cause for concern regarding trade with Nepal. "We are, however, monitoring the situation closely and remain in regular contact with the export promotion councils to assess any potential risks," the official said.
