To what extent was the first National Monetization Pipeline (NMP) able to meet its objectives? What are the objectives of the new Asset Monetization Plan 2025-30 as announced in the recent 2025 Budget?

Missed opportunities: 1. ₹6 lakh crore target missed - dependence on railways and highway for major sources of revenue generation. 2. Lower synergy among departments. 3. Limited private sector interest. Objectives of new NMP 2025-30: 1. Increase participation by private sector and local players. 2. Enhaced land pool and assets to be monetized. 3. Targets to be assessed annually. 4. Participation of all tiers of government. 5. Strengthening local level bodies' revenue generation capacity. Thus NMP will play a crucial role in generating revenue for government without sale of assets, achieving SDG 11.
