Infrastructural and financial support Since the early 1950s, India has made a considerable contribution to Nepal's socioeconomic development. Along with crucial social sector areas like health, education, and human resource development, other areas of relations include infrastructure like airports, irrigation, agriculture, roads, bridges, power projects, industrial estates, communication, surveys, forestry, and building construction. In 1951, Nepal and India began working together to build a modern infrastructure, and as Nepal's major development partner, India built Kathmandu's Gauchar Airport, also known as Tribhuvan International Airport which was completed in 1954. In the same year the Indian Aid Mission in Nepal was also set up for developing projects in a number of areas including health, connectivity, education, power, and government departments. In 1976, India assisted Nepal in the construction of the 21 MW Trishuli Hydropower Station with a grant of Rs 140 million. In 2014, the Nepal Bharat Maitri Emergency & Trauma Centre in Kathmandu at a cost of Rs 100 crore, and a new college block of B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan at a cost of Rs 125 crore were inaugurated. In 2019, the Motihari-Amlekhgunj Petroleum Pipeline was installed at a cost of Rs 324 crore. After the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, the Government of India committed USD 1 billion for post-earthquake reconstruction projects in Nepal. The reconstruction of 50,000 houses at a cost of USD 100 million was completed in November 2021. Other projects include construction of 132 health facilities across 10 districts and the reconstruction of 71 educational institutes in 8 districts. Also, 28 cultural heritage projects in 7 districts are in the process of being restored.

Under India's Vaccine Maitri initiative, it provided nearly 95 lakh (9.5 million) doses of vaccines to Nepal.
