ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF STATISTICS & PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION; MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE (RAO INDERJIT SINGH) (a) & (b) The Union Budget 2025–26 announced the launch of NMP 2.0 to plough back Rs. 10 lakh crore to further accelerate infrastructure creation in the country. Accordingly, the National Monetisation Pipeline 2.0 (NMP 2.0) was launched on February 23, 2026. NMP 2.0 estimates an aggregate monetisation potential of Rs. 16.72 lakh crore, including private sector investment of Rs. 5.8 lakh crore, through the monetisation of core assets of the Central Government over the five-year period from FY 2026 to FY 2030. In terms of annual phasing by value, assets with indicative values (in Rs. lakh crore) of around 2.49, 3.26, 3.46, 3.68, and 3.81 are envisaged to be rolled out in FY26, FY27, FY28, FY29, and FY30 respectively. The sectors included, along with their indicative asset values (in Rs. lakh crore) are around: highways (including Multi-Modal Logistic Parks (MMLPs) and ropeways) – 4.42; railways – 2.62; power – 2.76; petroleum and natural gas – 0.16; civil aviation – 0.27; ports – 2.63; warehousing and storage – 0.10; urban – 0.52; coal – 2.16; mines – 1.0; telecom – 0.048; and tourism – 0.012. Page 2 of 3The details of the assets to be monetised under NMP 2.0 are not maintained on state-wise basis. (c) to (e) Asset monetisation is expected to generate upfront as well as future revenue streams, which provide additional capital for new infrastructure development. Further, NMP includes projects with private sector investment of Rs. 5.8 lakh crore enabling accelerated infrastructure development. NMP enables the recycling of productive public assets, thereby unlocking resources for reinvestment in new projects and capital expenditure. The Projects under NMP are governed by the respective contracts which broadly include frameworks to ensure efficient delivery of services and improved asset utilisation. A Core Group of Secretaries on Asset Monetisation under the chairmanship of the Cabinet Secretary monitors the progress of Asset Monetisation programme. NMP 2.0, by enabling capital recycling and attracting private sector investment, is expected to result in higher capital expenditure on infrastructure creation and have a direct positive impact on the country’s economic growth. **** Page 3 of 3
