India is likely to offer Nepal´s new Prime Minister help in building an east-west railway line and better access to its ports on his first visit, as it tries to regain ground lost recently to China. Discussions are on at the railway line stretching from Mechi in east Nepal to Mahakali in the west that India will help build. The project that runs parallel to Nepal´s 1,030 km east-west highway has been talked about in the past, but the two countries are now discussing financial terms.
