68 tonnes of aid across 4 flights: PM Modi's love for Nepal reflected in swift relief efforts
Since August 26, India has sent four military flights carrying emergency relief material, temporary shelters, blankets, hygiene kits, solar lamps and more.
On 26 August 2026, an Indian Air Force C-130J Hercules airlifted 10 tonnes of emergency relief material from India to Nepal, marking the first major nation to deliver aid after devastating flash floods. Four subsequent flights delivered a combined 68.5 tonnes of supplies, including temporary shelters, blankets, hygiene kits, solar lamps, and medicines.
The swift aid delivery highlights Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to the "Neighbourhood First" policy, reflecting India's first responder reputation. Nepal has collected over NRs 5 billion in the PM's Disaster Relief Fund, but many countries and international organizations have also pledged or begun providing assistance.
