Government Achieves 90% of First Asset Monetisation Target Under NMP

The Indian government has successfully achieved 90% of its target under the first National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP), raising ₹5.4 lakh crore out of the planned ₹6 lakh crore by monetizing core public sector assets. Key contributors include highways, coal, and mining sectors, which collectively generated ₹2.7 trillion. The initiative focuses on recycling capital to fund new infrastructure projects without outright selling government assets. Building on this success, the second phase of NMP (2025-30) aims to raise ₹10 lakh crore for advancing India’s infrastructure goals.
