Ministers of Nepal

16 federal ministers, led by Prime Minister Balendra Shah, and 53 provincial ministers, including 6 Chief Ministers. Each row shows the person's position and every portfolio they hold. Looking for the offices themselves? See Ministries.

Snapshot as of 24 September 2026. Ministers change often. The Industry, Commerce and Supplies portfolio has no minister listed because Gauri Kumari Yadav resigned on 10 September 2026 and no successor was confirmed in the news reports we found. Karnali has no ministers listed because the source names none. Check the relevant government website for the latest.
