The monetisation pipeline has been created for a four-year period from financial year 2021-22 to 2024-25.The NMP will serve as a roadmap for the asset monetization of various brownfield infrastructure assets across sectors including roads, railways, aviation, power, oil and gas, and warehousing, the parliament was informed. https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/govt-prepares-portal-to-speed-up-rs-2-5-trn-plus- asset-monetisation-drive-121072600903_1.html Nirmala Sitharaman introduces IBC (Amendment) Bill 2021 in Lok Sabha Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha to replace an ordinance that amended the insolvency law.The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill, 2021 was introduced amid Opposition ruckus over various issues.Sitharaman is in charge of both finance and corporate affairs ministries.
