Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has launched the second phase of the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP 2.0) in New Delhi, marking a significant step toward accelerating infrastructure development and boosting economic growth.
The second phase has been developed by NITI Aayog in consultation with infrastructure line ministries, in line with the mandate outlined under the Asset Monetisation Plan 2025–30 announced in the Union Budget 2025–26.
₹16.72 Lakh Crore Monetisation Potential
The National Monetisation Pipeline 2.0 estimates an aggregate monetisation potential of ₹16.72 lakh crore over a five-year period from Financial Year 2025–26 to 2029–30.
This includes ₹5.8 lakh crore in private sector investment through the asset monetisation pipeline of Central ministries and public sector entities.
Success of NMP 1.0
Addressing the gathering, Sitharaman congratulated various ministries, departments, and NITI Aayog for achieving nearly 90 percent of the ₹6 lakh crore target set for four years under NMP 1.0.
She stated that NMP 2.0 aligns with the vision of building a “Viksit Bharat” through accelerated infrastructure expansion. The Finance Minister emphasized that the initiative has the potential to further fuel India’s growth momentum by unlocking value from public assets and attracting private investment.
The launch event was attended by the CEO of NITI Aayog, Secretaries of infrastructure ministries, officials from the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Law, and the Chief Economic Adviser.
With the rollout of NMP 2.0, the government aims to deepen public-private partnerships and strengthen India’s infrastructure-led development strategy.
