Maharashtra Cabinet Approves Asset Monetisation, Urban Challenge Fund, and PPP Concessions
The Maharashtra Cabinet has approved multiple initiatives to enhance urban development and financial sustainability. A new Asset Monetisation Policy enables local bodies to generate revenue by developing underutilised public assets through public-private partnerships. Complementing this, the Urban Challenge Fund aims to invest Rs 44,800 crore in infrastructure projects across smaller cities via government funding, bonds, and private investment. Additionally, concessions under the PPP policy will expedite redevelopment of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation land to create non-fare revenue while retaining ownership.
