Centre Recommends Monetising ₹1,100 Crore Surplus Public Assets
An inter-ministerial group has recommended monetising surplus land and buildings of central public sector enterprises worth over ₹1,100 crore. The proposal needs approval through an alternative mechanism. It fits the government's FY27 asset monetisation drive, which has been helped by recent land auctions.
