No, the NEP was designed to be a temporary reintroduction of petty capitalism into the socialist economy. It was to last only until the economy had gotten back to where it was no longer in danger of collapse.
The New Economic Policy (NEP) was intended to reverse some of the economic ravages caused by the previous policy of War Communism had inflicted on the country.

New Economic Policy
Lenin created the NEP in response to the Kronstadt Rising that occurred in March 1921, as these Kronstadt sailors were amongst his greatest supporters, and showed him that he obviously needed to change his policy from War Communism to the New Economic Policy.
NEP is an acronym of New Economic Policy that was formulated by Vladamir Lenin. The policy represented a capitalism oriented economy that was important in the Russian Civil War which occurred between 1917 to 1922.
NEP is New Economic Policy. This was Vladimir Lenin's plan to introduce some aspects of capitalism back into the socialist economy in order to improve the economy.
Taxes on peasants mixed with small-scale capitalism
The chief architect of the NEP (New Economic Policy) was Nikolai Bukharin. A detailed description of the NEP and Bukharin's role in forging early Soviet policy can be found in Stephen Cohen's Bukharin and the Bolshevik Revolution. He was a brilliant thinker who, unfortunately, history has largely forgotten.
Stalin scrapped Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) in favor of his own Five Year Plans. Stalin and other hardline Marxist/Communists felt that Lenin's NEP was a retreat from the move from capitalism to socialism and were angered over it. The NEP was kept in place by Stalin and his co-rulers after Lenin's death until 1929 when Stalin had eliminated his opposition and became the sole power in the Soviet Union. That is when he replaced the NEP with his own program for economic recovery.
After the conflict over his succession ended with Stalin taking over.
The NEP (New Economic Policy) was designed to allow and attract foreign capital and investment into Russia to build its appallingly terrible economy. It was to allow the development of capitalism to an extent, but this capitalist element of the economy was kept small and helped the Bolsheviks establish socialism. Russia's economy under the NEP could not really be described as anything in particular (as there was not much of an economy in the first place), but if you had to put a label on it, you could say it was socialistic.
Stalin instituted the Five-Year Plans in order to quickly generate capital for, and ensure the Soviet Unionâ??s economic strength in case of, another World War. One of Stalinâ??s signature moves was to reinstate state control of the farming system which had been decentralized under Leninâ??s New Economic Policy. Stalin also wished to return the Soviet economy to the policy of Bolshevism, or a nationalized, communist economy which had been eroded under Lenin's NEP.
