Centre’s National Monetisation Pipeline is a foolish decision: Chidambaram

Former Finance Minister and veteran Congress leader P Chidambaram on August 26 lashed out at the Centre’s four year National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) policy and termed it as a "foolish decision". “The recovery in 2022-23 may take us to the pre-pandemic level, provided the government does not take any more foolish decisions. Centre’s 4 year National Monetisation Pipeline is a foolish decision,” said Chidambaram while addressing a press conference in Goa. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on August 23 launched the NMP that includes the Centre's four-year plan to monetise its brownfield infrastructure assets.
