What we got
wrong

We published

The site description read “Official NPR prices, specs & side-by-side comparison for every car sold in Nepal.” The social share image said “every car in Nepal”, and the /cars page invited you to “browse every car available in Nepal”.

Corrected to

“NPR prices, specs and side-by-side comparison for 34 cars in Nepal. Every price dated and sourced.” — and the count updates itself from the dataset, so it cannot drift again.

Why it was wrong: We track 34 cars. Several Nepali sites list more than a hundred. Claiming to cover every car in Nepal was simply false, and it was the first thing a reader saw in search results and on every shared link.

We published

A form that showed “an official dealer will contact you shortly” after a 1.5-second delay, then discarded the name and phone number.

Corrected to

A real endpoint. Details reach a person, and if we cannot take them the form says so and gives you a number to call instead.

Why it was wrong: The form was never wired to anything. It had not yet been placed on a live page, so no buyer was left waiting — but it was in the codebase ready to ship, and shipping it would have been the single most dishonest thing on the site.

We published

A placeholder phone number (+977 1 2345678), “helping Nepali car buyers since 2024”, dead social links, and two products described on the homepage — “Market Trends” and “Dealer Network” — that did not exist.

Corrected to

A number that rings, a named publisher, an accurate start year, and only features that are actually built.

Why it was wrong: Template scaffolding that was never replaced. A trust-first site cannot carry a fake phone number in its footer.

We published

Individual cars were described as sitting in a levy band based on their showroom price — e.g. “above Rs 50 lakh, so it carries the 130% levy”. Two cars quoted rates (110%, 15%) that do not appear in our own bracket table at all.

Corrected to

No car states a levy band. The levy is banded by CIF import value — what the importer declares at the border — which is not the showroom price and is not public per car. The calculator now says so on its input.

Why it was wrong: A category error on our part: we applied a CIF-based band to a retail figure. It was also propagating automatically onto every EV-vs-EV comparison page through the verdict generator, so it appeared on far more pages than it was written on. The 110% and 15% figures came from a source our own code comments flag as an outlier.

We published

Listed with a current Nepal price.

Corrected to

Removed from the site.

Why it was wrong: Import to Nepal stopped after 2022. Listing a car you cannot buy is worse than listing none.

We published

Listed as the Tata Harrier.

Corrected to

Listed as the Tata H5, with the price flagged indicative rather than confirmed.

Why it was wrong: Toyota holds the “Harrier” trademark in Nepal, so Tata sells the car here as the H5. Sources also conflict across the XZA / XZ+ / XZA+ variants, which is why the price carries a lower confidence grade instead of a number we cannot stand behind.

We published

Listed as diesel.

Corrected to

Corrected to petrol.

Why it was wrong: Nepal never received the diesel variant our data claimed. The spec had been carried over from Indian-market listings.

We published

Rs 1.25 crore

Corrected to

Rs 74.00 lakh

Why it was wrong: The worst error we have published. A 2024-era figure that was never re-checked, overstating the price by roughly Rs 51 lakh.

We published

Rs 1.32 crore

Corrected to

Rs 1.02 crore

Why it was wrong: Stale 2024 pricing, re-verified against current Nepali sources.

We published

Rs 55.90 lakh

Corrected to

Rs 61.99 lakh

Why it was wrong: Under-stated. The old figure pre-dated the 29 May 2026 tax change, which raised landed cost on most imported EVs.

We published

Rs 44.99 lakh

Corrected to

Rs 38.99 lakh

Why it was wrong: Over-stated by Rs 6 lakh. Stale 2024 pricing.

We published

Rs 47.99 lakh

Corrected to

Rs 52.99 lakh

Why it was wrong: Under-stated. Pre-dated the FY 2083/84 duty stack.

We published

Rs 38.99 lakh

Corrected to

Rs 35.75 lakh

Why it was wrong: Stale 2024 pricing, re-verified July 2026.

We published

Tata Nexon EV, BYD Atto 3 and MG ZS EV carried battery and range figures that did not match the variants actually sold in Nepal.

Corrected to

Nexon EV 30.2 kWh / 312 km · Atto 3 49.92 kWh / 345 km · ZS EV 51 kWh / 320 km — all claimed figures for the Nepal-market base variant.

Why it was wrong: Figures had been taken from international spec sheets rather than the variant imported here. Range on any EV is a claimed number; real-world figures in the hills are lower.
