National Monetisation Pipeline 2.0 (NMP 2.0)

On 23rd February 2026, the Union Government launched the National Monetisation Pipeline 2.0 (NMP 2.0), developed by NITI Aayog.

The initiative operationalises the Asset Monetisation Plan 2025-30 announced in the Union Budget 2025-26 and aims to recycle public assets to support fresh infrastructure investment.

Aspect	Details
Monetisation Potential	The monetisation potential of NMP 2.0 is estimated at Rs. 16.72 lakh crore, including Rs. 5.8 lakh crore from private investments, representing a 2.6 times increase over NMP 1.0.
Strategic Goal	Aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat, the pipeline aims to recycle brownfield public assets to finance new capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects while reducing budgetary pressure.
Top Contributing Sectors	Highways account for the largest share at 26%, followed by Power (17%), Railways (16%), Ports (16%), and Coal (13%).
Governance Mechanism	Progress under NMP 2.0 is monitored by the Core Group of Secretaries on Asset Monetisation (CGAM), chaired by the Cabinet Secretary.
Revenue Allocation	Proceeds from monetisation flow into the Consolidated Fund of India, State Consolidated Funds, and direct PSU/private reinvestments.
NMP 1.0 Performance	The first phase of the pipeline (2021-25) achieved nearly 90% of its Rs. 6 lakh crore target.
Consolidated Fund of India	The Consolidated Fund of India is established under Article 266(1) of the Constitution, into which all government revenues are credited.
