Govt sets asset monetisation targets for eight ministries
The government is weighing a plan to mandate the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) with the task of setting up an independent entity to act as investment manager for all infrastructure investment trusts and real estate investment trusts, floated by ministries and Central public sector enterprises, as part of a programme to raise ₹2.5-lakh crore through monetisation of assets.
“Considering the key role played by investment manager in the InvITs/REITs governance structure, the NITI Aayog has suggested that the practice of nominating one of the subsidiary companies of the CPSEs undertaking asset monetisation as investment manager should be avoided,” said a government official.
