This Week’s Spotlight Story

A deep dive into the headline that defined market conversations.

Government Launches NMP 2.0 With ₹16.72 Lakh Crore Asset Monetisation Target 

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched the National Monetisation Pipeline 2.0 (NMP 2.0), charting a five-year roadmap (FY 2026-2030) for unlocking value from core public sector assets. Developed by NITI Aayog, the ambitious framework estimates an aggregate monetisation potential of ₹16.72 lakh crore, which includes projected private sector investments of ₹5.8 lakh crore. This target is over 2.6 times higher than its predecessor, NMP 1.0, and aims to fund accelerated infrastructure development in alignment with the Viksit Bharat initiative.

Designed to recycle productive public assets, NMP 2.0 will mobilise capital for new infrastructure projects while minimising government budgetary outlays. The generated proceeds will flow into the Consolidated Fund of India, state funds, and respective PSUs, depending on the asset’s implementing agency. Highways dominate the new target basket, accounting for 26% (₹4.42 lakh crore) of the total expected value. This is closely followed by the Power sector at 17% (₹2.76 lakh crore), alongside Ports and Railways contributing roughly 16% each. The targeted assets are expected to be rolled out via diverse instruments, including public-private partnership (PPP) concessions and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs).

That’s a wrap for this week.
