To crowd in private investment, the government has unveiled a National Monetisation Plan (NMP) of brownfield assets, to generate upfront revenue of Rs 6 trillion between FY22-25. This proposal covers the asset handling of roads, railways, airports, stadiums, power transmission lines, and gas pipelines. Under this plan, assets will be monetised through a "structured contractual partnership". Notably, it involves monetisation of rights and not ownership. This is likely to ease the financial burden of the government (4.5 per cent fiscal deficit target by FY26).
