India's circular economy may create 10 million jobs by 2050: Amitabh Kant

17 Dec 2024 Evaluate

The country's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant has said that India's circular economy could generate a market value of over $2 trillion and create 10 million jobs by 2050. He said the circular economy can be a driver of growth, and this transition not only promises cost savings but also positions India to capitalise on the global circular economy market. This is a huge opportunity because, by 2050, India's circular economy could generate a market value of over $2 trillion and create close to 10 million jobs. Currently, the size of the Indian economy is $3.7 trillion.

Noting that industrialisation and urbanisation are creating an unsustainable India, he said ‘we need circular economy as a beacon of hope'. The country's natural resources are depleted at an unsustainable pace, generating massive amounts of waste. While pointing out that India is generating about close to 1.6 lakh tonnes of municipal solid waste per day, he said this underscores the urgency to move towards a model that decouples economic growth from resource extraction.

Kant said ‘It will be impossible to live in India. It will be impossible to work in India...therefore, the circular economy offers a really compelling solution to the dilemma that India is facing due to rapid urbanisation and industrialisation by keeping resources in use for as long as possible, extracting maximum value from them and regenerating natural systems.’ According to Kant, the circular model not only reduces waste and environmental harm but also creates new economic opportunities. He added that India's transition to circularity requires a deliberate and coordinated effort across sectors, and it has to be driven by innovation, R&D and robust policy intervention.
