| Abstract: | ABSTRACT: Construction and demolition (C&D) waste presents a major and growing environmental and urban management challenge in India. Driven by rapid urbanization, redevelopment, and increasing use of reinforced concrete (RCC) structures, C&D waste volumes are substantial and expected to grow in the coming decades. India’s legal framework — primarily the Construction & Demolition Waste Management Rules (MoEFCC, 2016) — and supporting technical guidance from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB, 2017) provide a foundation for segregation, processing and reuse. However, implementation has lagged because of limited processing capacity, weak enforcement at Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), poor market demand for recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), low levels of accreditation/standards, and the dominance of informal actors in collection and recycling. This paper synthesizes official documents, national reports and international case studies to (a) map the regulatory and institutional framework in India, (b) identify key operational gaps, and (c) compare India’s approach with selected international practices in China and Dubai to propose a prioritized set of policy and operational measures. Recommendations emphasise permit‑linked C&D management plans, supplier accreditation schemes, demand‑creation through public procurement, scaling of processing capacity, formalisation of informal actors, and digital manifests for tracking. The analysis is intended to support urban planners and policymakers in designing implementable reforms. "This study employs a mixed-methods approach grounded in a comparative policy review and the synthesis of primary regulatory frameworks, including MoEFCC, CPCB, and MoHUA guidelines. The research evaluates institutional instruments, infrastructure capacity, and market mechanisms by benchmarking Indian practices against international standards from China and Dubai. The scope is defined by a comprehensive analysis of secondary data and official updates available through 2025; however, the study is limited to the synthesis of published reports and document analysis, as primary fieldwork and material sampling were outside the current research constraints." |
