The Birgunj Dry Port Customs Office in Sirsiya has reported a revenue collection of Rs 45.61 billion during the first 11 months of the current fiscal year 2024/25, reflecting a steady performance in line with government expectations.
Customs Officer-in-Charge Dhan Bahadur Baruwal stated that the revenue trend has been encouraging, with consistent monthly collections contributing to the total.
Monthly revenue breakdowns reveal Rs 3.75 billion was collected in the first month (mid-July to mid-August), followed by Rs 4.64 billion, Rs 4.36 billion, and Rs 3.79 billion in the next three months, respectively. The collection pattern remained stable in subsequent months, with revenue hovering above the Rs 3 billion mark and peaking at Rs 4.68 billion between mid-February and mid-March.
The customs office has been given an annual revenue target of Rs 60.04 billion by the Department of Customs. With just one month remaining in the fiscal year, the office must generate approximately Rs 14.43 billion to meet this goal.
Birgunj Dry Port, Nepal’s key inland port, plays a critical role in the country’s trade operations, handling a significant volume of imports and customs clearances. The office’s performance is seen as an important indicator of overall trade activity and customs efficiency.
