The government had set an ambitious asset recycling target of ₹6 lakh crore under the first NMP over the four years through FY25, by monetisation of operational assets in sectors such as roads, mining, power, petroleum and airports.

The NMP-1 achievement has been at ₹3.85 lakh crore, or 90% of the ₹4.3 lakh crore targeted in the first three years in upfront revenues as well as revenue sharing from operations and capital expenditure from private parties. For FY25, the final year for the first NMP, the target is ₹1.67 lakh crore, which is likely to be exceeded, sources said.
