National Monetisation Pipeline — every sector, one playbook

NITI Aayog's National Monetisation Pipeline lists brownfield, de-risked public assets — roads, railways, power lines, pipelines, airports, ports, warehouses, stadiums — that the Union government leases or concessions to private capital for a fixed term, recycling the proceeds into new infrastructure. Ownership stays public; operations, upgrades and revenue risk move to the concessionaire.
