Govt finalising plan to monetise Rs 6 lakh cr infra assets: DIPAM Secy

New Delhi: The government is finalising Rs 6 lakh crore worth infrastructure assets, including national highways and power grid pipelines, which would be monetised, DIPAM Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Wednesday.

"A national monetisation plan of about Rs 6 trillion is in the offing which will have a range of assets from pipelines to power grid pipelines to national highways, ToT and so on," Pandey said.

Speaking at the CII annual session, Pandey said the InvIT for asset monetisation of power grid was done successfully and which has led to regulatory systems, like Sebi approval, being put in place. "There are certain issues still there, in terms of further improving the InvIT system The second InvIT might be coming for the pipelines, in the GAIL side, he said.

A National Monetisation Pipeline of potential brownfield infrastructure assets will be launched. An asset monetisation dashboard will also be created for tracking the progress and to provide visibility to investors," she had said.
