Speaking at the launch, Sitharaman said that the budget identified infrastructure as the key focus for public expenditure. She added that there is no land involved in National Monetisation Pipeline only brownfield assets. The finance minister said that public sector enterprises are ramping up CAPEX despite the second wave, and added that she will be monitoring this further. Sitharaman said that National Monetisation Pipeline will talk about those brownfield assets where the investment is already being made and where the assets are either languishing or not fully monetized or under-utilized. National Monetisation Pipeline is a culmination of insights, feedback, and experiences consolidated through multi-stakeholder consultations undertaken by Niti Aayog, Ministry of Finance, and line ministries. Several rounds of discussion have been held by Niti Aayog with the stakeholders. The pipeline has been deliberated at length in the inter-ministerial meetings chaired by Cabinet Secretary. This is therefore a whole of a government initiative.
