New Delhi – November 15, 2026: Unveiling an unprecedented economic blueprint for sustainable industrial expansion, a comprehensive empirical study released by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) reveals that transitioning to a structured circular economy model can generate over $45 billion in domestic manufacturing value and create three million green jobs in India by 2030.
The research report analyzes key industrial value chains including automotive dismantling, electronic waste recovery, critical battery metals recycling, textile repurposing, and industrial wastewater reclamation. The findings demonstrate that closing material loops substantially reduces dependence on imported virgin raw materials, insulating domestic manufacturers from global commodity price shocks.
CEEW economists highlighted that reclaiming valuable metals—such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper—from discarded electronics and electric vehicle battery packs is vital for national supply chain security. The report recommends establishing standardized extended producer responsibility (EPR) credits, tax rationalization on recycled feedstocks, and dedicated industrial recycling parks equipped with zero-liquid-discharge infrastructure.
Industry leaders hailed the report as a timely roadmap, proving that environmental resource conservation and aggressive industrial profitability are mutually reinforcing economic drivers.
