Targeting the upcoming Nepali New Year in mid-April, Jagdamba Motors, the sole authorized distributor of TVS Motors in Nepal, has launched a new scheme for its custom­ers. The company has launched ‘Naya Barsha ko Shuruwat Jiwan Bhar ko Saath’ campaign for its new customers in which customers will receive Rs 8,001 instant cash back on every pur­chase of a TVS motorcycle or scooter. The offer, which will be valid for the next few months, is applicable to all TVS authorized distributors and showrooms across the country.  

Tea is produced in over 26,000 hectares of land, mostly in the eastern districts like Ilam, Jhapa, Panchthar, Dhankuta, Sankhu­wasabha and Terathum.

Production is growing even in Terai districts. Yet the country’s exports worth some Rs 2.5 bil­lion is miniscule given that Nepal produces 24 million kg of tea every year.

In order to boost exports, the third edition of the International Tea Festival is being held in Kathmandu from April 6-8. The event, being organized by Nepal Tea and Coffee Development Board (NTCDB), aims to better market and promote Nepali tea abroad.

It will feature 25 globally recognized tea traders from 13 countries. On the occasion, var­ious tea-related events will also be organized in different parts of the country. The icing on the cake? A tea tasting ceremony at the Mount Everest base camp on April 6.

Nepal Tea trademark will also be formally launched at the fes­tival. This is expected to help the export of orthodox tea, which is gaining popularity across the world as it contains antioxidants and low caffeine.  

Samsung has announced the launch of its latest flagships, the Gal­axy S9 and S9+, in Nepal, priced at Rs 87,900 and Rs 99,900, respec­tively. Pre-bookings for the phones have opened and the cus­tomers will be able to get their hands on the new devices on March 23.

The S9 will be available in only one color—Midnight Black while the S9+ will be available in three distinctive colors—Mid­night Black, Coral Blue and Lilac Purple. The new flagship prod­ucts are packed with innovative features such as ‘Dual Aperture lens’, and personalized ‘AR Emoji.’

Both the Galaxy S9 and S9+ fea­ture a first of its kind dual aperture lens (f1.5/f2.4) which acts similar to the way the iris of a human eye expands and contracts. The new feature automatically lets in more light when it is dark and less when it is too bright, resulting in photos that are crisp and clear.

Samsung smart­phones are well-known for their water and dust resistance with both the latest Galaxy S9 and S9+ receiving an IP68 rating, a gold standard. The devices now support expand­able memory of up to 400GB and powering them are the latest premium application processors.

With every purchase of either the Galaxy S9 or S9+, custom­ers will get 12GB Ncell data free as well as breakage insurance. Those who pre-book can choose to receive a Samsung Wireless charger or discount coupon worth Rs 5,000.

The company is also host­ing a lucky draw among all its pre-booking customers, where the first winner will be awarded a free round-trip ticket to any Turkish Airline destination.
