## 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  National  Monetisation  Pipeline  1.0  (NMP  1.0)  included assets with monetisation potential of Rs. 6 lakh crore during the fouryear  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) -

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.

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 bu dgetary outgo.
