Chaudhary Group

Towards the end of the eighteenth century, Bhuramull Chaudhary, a Marwari[1] businessman from the modern-day Shekhawati district in the Indian state of Rajasthan, was invited to Nepal at the behest of its erstwhile Rana rulers for business.

The group assembles and distributes consumer electronics (smartphones, refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, TVs, vacuum cleaners, and various other products) across Nepal.

[11] CG Group has signed a deal worth $1 million with China's Huawei to launch 4G services in Nepal.

Due to government norms, the foundation is now moving away from transitional shelter to permanent housing and working on building a "model village".

[16] One significant controversy involves the alleged privatization of land belonging to the Bansbari Shoe Factory, a government entity.

[18] [19] Additionally, one of Chaudhary Group's subsidiaries, Apollo Steel Industries, faced accusations of land grabbing in Satungal, Kathmandu.

Local communities have accused the company of usurping a public road, which is currently fenced off and part of the premises housing CG Electronics.

Investigations revealed the company's failure to obtain approval from local authorities for construction and circumvention of mandatory Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA).

[23] While his son denies allegations, stating compliance with the law, investigations suggest the use of loopholes to circumvent Nepal's legal restrictions on owning foreign assets and capital controls for global business expansion.
