Firms with at least five transaction advisory projects in their portfolio in the last 10 years pertinent to monetisation of land and building can apply.

The amount raised through sale of non-core assets would form part of the disinvestment proceeds.A Request for Empanelment (RFE) has been reportedly floated by the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) to empanel international property consultancy firms or firms engaged in transaction advisory services, asset monetisation or project management.
