Pumps are the mechanical device used to increase the pressure energy of fluids. Pumps of different types and size are being used in Nepal, for different applications. Despite the wide spread applications of pumps not much have been done to manufacture pumps in Nepal. This study investigates the opportunity of manufacturing pumps in Nepal. It shows the history of usage of pumps in Nepal and also depicts the problems faced by the pumps used in different projects. It discusses about the current market trend related to the import of pumps from foreign countries and develops an argument to start a new business for manufacturing pumps. Role of research institutes like Turbine Testing Laboratory in design of pumps has been discussed as a future prospect for Nepalese academia and industry.
