Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched the second phase of the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP 2.0), targeting an aggregate monetisation potential of Rs 16.72 lakh crore over five financial years (FY2026-FY2030). Developed by India===NITI Aayog, NMP 2.0 aims to unlock value from public infrastructure assets across 12 sectors, including highways, railways, power, and ports. The plan includes Rs 5.8 lakh crore in private sector investments and is aligned with India's 'Viksit Bharat' mission for accelerated infrastructure development. It builds on the success of NMP 1.0, which achieved 89% of its Rs 6 lakh crore target. The proceeds will flow into the Consolidated Fund of India, direct private investment, PSU/Port Authority allocations, and State Consolidated Funds, facilitating reinvestment in new projects and capital expenditure while minimizing government budgetary outgo.
