About Us
Bijuli Power is part of Aloi, a fintech company, providing accessible financing to electric vehicle mobility for micro-entrepreneurs in the informal sector in Nepal.
We have started with the iconic Safa Tempo, or electric minibus in Kathmandu Valley. Safa Tempos have been providing public transportation services for around 30 years in Kathmandu Valley, with the majority-owned and operated by women. With over 700 Safa Tempos, we are a green city pioneer.
We are continuing this legacy by helping Safa Tempo owners continually update their technology by having access to affordable finance. We have been working with Standard Chartered Bank to provide lithium batteries loans to women micro-entrepreneurs. We also have been providing driving training loans to new drivers for Safa Tempo through our partner financial institutions.

Safa Tempo Booking
Bijuli Power provides access to safa-tempo for private hire promoting green mobility. It has empowered 20+ women with its services and has given women safa-tempo drivers affordable access to finances through Aloi.
Bijuli Power was started back in February 2020. It was originally established to help safa-tempo women drivers to earn additional income to help pay back the loan they accessed through our parent company, Aloi. As time passed we felt it was necessary for safa-tempo women drivers to have a platform where they can earn and make their private hiring service easily accessible.

I have started driving safa tempo for 8 months now. I got a loan from Mahila Sahayatra laghubitta Sanstha supported by Aloi Pvt. Ltd and BijuliPower in digital token via sms. I used it for the task that I wanted loans for. Now I can support my children's education and household activities by being a Safa Tempo driver. My work is also hard. I get up at 5:00 in the morning and work late till 8:00 pm. But I am happy everything is going well.

In total there are 50 safa tempos in Ajambari Yatayat Charging station. 30 safa tempos are in working condition. Bijuli Power has helped us to install lithium ion batteries in our Safa tempo through women entrepreneurship loans from financial institutions. This support from Bijuli Power has helped women entrepreneurs to earn and support their family. Use of lithium batteries have helped women entrepreneurs to get more profit.

Charging Station Owner
I have been driving Safa tempo since 2000 A.D, after a few years in driving became safa tempo owner. In the tenure of Safa tempo, lots of battery were introduced, due to the technical problems in battery many vehicles were grounded now lithium battery is introduced which is convenient but expensive which costs 10 lakhs, when covid spread in 2019 my vehicle got grounded, from the support of Bijuli Power I received women entrepreneurship loan worth 10 lakhs which helped me to buy lithium battery.
