expected to increase country’s GDP by 40 lakh crore rupees over the next 5 to 10 years. NITI Aayog’s

investment and supporting economic growth by unlocking value from existing public assets and
reinvesting the proceeds into new infrastructure projects.

financial year 2026 to financial year 2030 under NMP 2.0 are expected to be approximately 4.6 lakh crore
rupees. NITI Aayog also said that NMP 2.0 aims to achieve 16.72 lakh crore rupees through monetization
of assets across 12 sectors during the five-year period. This target includes private sector investment of
5.8 lakh crore rupees.

The report emphasized that asset monetization under NMP 2.0 will help accelerate infrastructure
development, increase private sector participation, and strengthen the country’s long-term economic
growth prospects by enabling higher capital investment and improved utilization of public assets.
