Services
The main
function of NTL is to supply machinery and equipment,
industrial raw materials, construction consumer goods and goods
of daily necessities, regularly and at reasonable price with a
view to serve the needs of the people at large on the hand, and
also the needs of the country's economic development on the
other. This service motive for promoting and protecting the
interest of the country and the people especially of those
living in the far-flung areas of the country could only be
expected from a public enterprise like NTL which seldom has
profit making as sole objective.
During the
initial year of its operation, NTL was mainly engaged in
handling goods received under the commodity Aid by GoN from
some friendly countries. As time passed on, its functional
areas were extended further for the procurement and
distribution of construction materials, industrial raw
materials and consumer goods from >India and
from overseas countries as well.
Moreover,
Machinery Sales and
Repair
Center was set up in order to sell various types of machinery
and equipment required by agricultural and industrial sectors
and also to provide repairs and maintenance services.
Furthermore, Bonded Warehouse and Duty Free Shop was set up by
NTL with a view to supply duty free goods to diplomatic
personnel and tourists products to overseas countries and also
engage in barter trade with the Autonomous Tibetan Region of
the People’s Republic of china and with few other socialist
countries.
At
present, NTL is dealing in commodity Aids goods and in the
import of construction materials, industrial raw materials and
consumer goods of daily use. NTL’s Machinery Sales and Repair
Center imports various kinds of machinery and equipment like
tractors, jeep and other vehicles, and the center also renders
repairs and maintenance service to its customers. NTL also
provides procurement services to GoN and other concerned
agencies as and when necessary.
Now NTL
