India Unveils Rs 16.72 Lakh Crore Asset Monetisation Plan for 2025-30

The Indian government has launched the National Monetisation Pipeline 2.0 (NMP 2.0), targeting Rs 16.72 lakh crore in asset monetisation from 2025-26 to 2029-30. This plan involves leasing over 2,000 public assets across 12 sectors, including highways, power, ports, railways, and coal, to private investors for defined concession periods. The pipeline includes Rs 5.8 lakh crore in expected private investments for asset construction and maintenance. The initiative aims to recycle public assets to fund infrastructure development without selling legal ownership. Additionally, the government plans to raise Rs 1.79 trillion through IPOs of state-run firms by 2030.
