Here are all the updates surrounding the government’s plan to lease out various state-owned infrastructure as per the ambitious NMP project

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled the government’s ₹6,00,000 crore ‘National Monetisation Pipeline’ (MNP) project on Monday. Under the ambitious NMP, the government has identified 13 sectors — including airports, railways, roads, shipping, gas pipeline among others— which will be privatised as the government aims to monetise its brownfield infrastructure assets. Here’s is a breakdown of everything that is going to be privatised: Road assets worth ₹1.60 lakh crore will be monetised over four years till FY25, which will be implemented by the Road Transport and Highways Ministry and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said the potential models of road assets monetisation would be Toll Operate Transfer (ToT) and Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT).
