Introduction
Under the Union Budget 2021-22, monetization of assets has been identified as one of the three pillars for enhanced and sustainable infrastructure financing in the country. The Budget also envisioned preparation of a ‘National Monetization Pipeline’ (‘NMP’ for short) to provide a direction to the monetization initiative and visibility of investors. NITI Aayog was tasked with creation of the NMP for brownfield core infrastructure assets. Niti Aayog announced the NMP during July 2021. The report on NMP is of two volumes-
- Volume I – Guidance book for asset monetization;
- Volume II – Roadmap for asset monetization over the medium term including the pipeline of infrastructure assets.
Objectives
The objectives of NMP are-
- To serve as a medium-term roadmap for the line ministries and agencies;
- To provide medium-term visibility to investors on infrastructure assets pipeline;
- To provide a platform for ministries to track asset performance;
- To bring in greater efficiency and transparency in public assets management.
The NMP looks to raise ₹ 6 lakh crore in a span of four years from FY 2022 – 2025. The following table shows the sector wise monetization value in NMP-
