Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will launch the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) in New Delhi today. It comprises a four-year pipeline of the Central Government’s brownfield infrastructure assets. Besides providing visibility to investors, NMP will also serve as a medium-term road map for the asset monetisation initiative of the government.
Union Budget 2021-22 laid a lot of emphasis on asset monetisation as a means to raise innovative and alternative financing for infrastructure and included a number of key announcements.
