## (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 2.76; petroleum 2.63; warehousing 0.048;

(MMLPs) and ropeways) -4.42; railways -2.62; power -and natural gas -0.16; civil aviation -0.27; ports -and storage -0.10; urban -0.52; coal -2.16; mines -1.0; telecom -and tourism -0.012.

The  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.
