National Monetization Pipeline: Market Analyst Deepak Talwar sheds light on new program
The decisions, as quoted by the government of India, have been made after taking into account the inputs and consultations from line ministries and departments.
Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Nirmala Sitharama, unveiled a National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP), aiming to raise Rs 6 lakh crore by leasing out state-owned assets over the next four years. The proposal vows to introduce a clear framework for monetisation and give potential lift to the Indian economy without pressuring government finances. Seasoned market analyst Deepak Talwar explains that NMP is envisaged as a medium-term plan, and will help in identification of projects, which can be easily leased out to generate profits.
To understand how NMP would work, Talwar stated that it has three core mandates — monetisation of rights and not ownership; brownfield de-risked assets and stable revenue streams; and structured partnerships under defined contractual frameworks with strict KPIs and performance standards.
