Page 1 of 3(a) & (b): The National Monetisation Pipeline 1.0 (NMP 1.0) included
assets with monetisation potential of Rs. 6 lakh crore during the four-
year period (2021-22 to 2024-25), against which around Rs. 5.3 lakh
crore was achieved. This included Rs. 3.87 lakh crore during the first
three years (2021-22 to 2023-24) and Rs. 1.43 lakh crore during the
fourth year (2024-25).
The achievements of the key sectors under NMP 1.0 (around Rs. lakh
crore) include: roads – 1.1; railways – 0.3; power – 0.5; petroleum and
natural gas – 0.4; coal – 2; shipping – 0.2; mines – 0.4; and urban – 0.1.
The class of project assets monetised under NMP 1.0 broadly include
toll roads, port terminals, storage warehouses, solar power plants, gati
shakti terminals, redevelopment of colonies, power generation and
transmission assets, discovered small fields, coal, mineral mining etc.
The details of the project specific aspects such as scope, investment
are maintained by the respective project sponsoring authorities.
(c) to (e): 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 MMLPs and ropeways) –
Page 2 of 34.42; 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.
NMP enables recycling of productive public assets, thereby unlocking
resources for reinvestment in new projects and capital expenditure. It
also facilitates the efficient mobilisation of funds for CAPEX in public
assets while minimising the Government’s budgetary outgo.
