The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) is where shares of Nepali companies — banks, hydropower, insurance and microfinance — are bought and sold. Getting started is more approachable than most beginners expect.
Step 1 — Open a Demat account
A Demat account holds your shares electronically. Open one through a bank or a licensed depository participant with a photo, citizenship document and a bank account.
Step 2 — Register for Mero Share and a broker (TMS)
Mero Share lets you apply for IPOs and view holdings online. To trade the secondary market you register with a licensed broker, who gives you access to the TMS (Trade Management System).
Step 3 — Understand how prices move
NEPSE has daily circuit limits, trading hours on business days, and a market index reflecting sentiment. Learn to read a chart and spot support and resistance before risking money.
Step 4 — Practise risk-free first
On StockYatra you can trade live-simulated NEPSE prices (NABIL, NICA, GBIME, ADBL and more) with virtual coins — learning order placement and position sizing without a single rupee at risk.
Step 5 — Start small and diversify
- Begin with an amount you can leave invested.
- Don’t put everything into one scrip or sector.
- Keep a trading journal from day one.
Key takeaways
- Demat → Mero Share → broker/TMS is the NEPSE onboarding path.
- IPOs via Mero Share are beginner-friendly.
- Practise live-simulated NEPSE trades before real money.
