Nepalese pharmaceutical sector had never always been in the same pedestal as it is now. A few decades earlier, neither prescribers nor the consumers believed in the quality and efficacy of products from the indigenous houses. Market of Nepal was driven entirely by Indian and Multinational Pharma products. To build the actual foundations of NPL and the whole of the Nepalese pharma sector, it took years of hardships and tumultuous journey spearheaded by Mr. Mahendra Bdr. Amatya and his team which became a revolution in upbringing the whole Nepalese pharma sector.

Mr. Mahendra Bdr. Amatya, with the plethora of knowledge in the Pharmaceutical sector was acquainted with the field of medicine when he got involved with Madhyamanchal Distributor, a wholesale firm he established with his elder brother Mr. Shailendra Bd. Amatya and brother-in-law Mr. Mahesh Kr. Gorkhali. As the firm grew, so did the interest in the medicine business sector. This was the turning point where Mr. Amatya moved from a medicine importer to a medical manufacturer and NPL, as we know it today, was born. On 9th June 1985, NPL was registered to the Department of Industry and completing numerous legal procedures, the first operation began on 12th January 1987. Since the quality and efficacy were the main issue regarding gaining credibility from the market, NPL’s apex priority was to maintain the quality of every product that came out of the NPL manufacturing plant. Therefore, the company decided to strictly follow quality parameters to such extent that they set their mission statement to be “Quality in the service of millions” and following the statement wholeheartedly led them to achieve great achievements throughout NPL’s history.
