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 trades from 11:00 to 15:00, Sunday to Thursday. Each scrip has a ±10% daily circuit limit, trades settle T+2, and the NEPSE index reflects overall sentiment. Learn to read a chart and spot support and resistance before risking money.
Step 4 — Practise risk-free first
On ShareRocketPro you can trade every NEPSE scrip (NABIL, NICA, GBIME, ADBL and more) in a 24/7 practice market with Rs. 10,000 in practice money. Practice prices start from the real NEPSE price and move within the ±10% circuit, and orders are in kitta (minimum 10), so you learn order placement and position sizing without a single real 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 NEPSE scrips in a practice market before real money.
- Start small, diversify, journal every decision.
