The Indian assurance of the soft loan came during the third bilateral LoC review meeting between the two sides.
"The Indian side assured the Nepali side that its proposal for a dedicated new Line of Credit for construction of the Kathmandu-Nijgarh fast track Road will be considered by the Indian government favourably," Indian Embassy in Kathmandu said in a statement yesterday.
The fast track road would connect Kathmandu to the country's south where a new international airport has been planned.
The amount for the new LoC has not been decided yet.

Nepal army is undertaking the construction of the road touted as North-South Fast Track link after its foundation stone was laid on November 8 last year.

The Indian side looks forward to concrete proposals which can be considered for implementation under the assistance package announced by India in June, the statement said.
