The Government of India has unveiled a comprehensive asset monetisation plan worth ₹1,672 lakh crore for the period 2025-30, aiming to unlock value from public infrastructure assets and mobilise funds for future development needs.
Under the newly announced strategy, the total monetisable asset value over the next five years has been revised upward, reflecting a broadened pipeline of projects spanning multiple sectors including transport, energy, urban infrastructure and logistics. The plan builds on earlier asset recycling initiatives and seeks to attract private capital and operational efficiencies into government-owned assets that are operational or nearing completion.
A key focus of the strategy is on long-term leases, tolling concessions and revenue-sharing models for infrastructure assets that have matured sufficiently to support monetisation without compromising service delivery. Proposed monetisation avenues include highways, ports, airports, power transmission assets, urban utilities and other revenue-generating infrastructure.
Government officials said that the expanded monetisation target aligns with broader fiscal and investment priorities, enabling states and central agencies to channel monetised proceeds into new projects while maintaining fiscal prudence. The plan is expected to complement the existing capital expenditure programme and support infrastructure financing without adding to budgetary deficits.
The asset monetisation framework emphasises transparency, competitive bidding and contractual safeguards to ensure value realisation and protect public interest. It also incorporates digital platforms and unified procedures to streamline tendering, investor engagement and contract management.
Stakeholders from industry and infrastructure finance welcomed the expanded road map, noting that large-scale monetisation can help unlock private investment in sectors with long gestation periods and stable cash flows. They added that a clear pipeline with predictable timelines will aid planning by asset owners and potential investors alike.
The push for asset monetisation is part of the government’s long-term strategy to leverage existing infrastructure inventories for economic growth, deepen participation by private sector players and optimise utilisation of public assets. With the revised 2025–30 target now in place, authorities said detailed implementation guidelines and project pipelines will be finalised in consultation with relevant ministries and state governments.
