The Role of Digitalization and Industry 4.0 Technologies in Accelerating India’s Circular Economy Transition

Author(s) Dr. ANJU SRIVASTAVA
Country India
Abstract Natural resource depletion, waste production, and environmental deterioration have all increased as a result of India's quick industrialization and economic growth. The traditional "take-make-dispose" linear economic model is no longer viable due to ecological imbalance, resource scarcity, and climate change. The circular economy (CE), a framework for sustainable development that prioritizes resource efficiency, waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and regeneration, has arisen in response.
Industrial processes and supply chains are being simultaneously transformed by digitalization and Industry 4.0 technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, blockchain, digital twins, cloud computing, and additive manufacturing. This study looks at how Industry 4.0 technologies and digitalization are hastening India's shift to a circular economy. The study examines sectoral applications, difficulties, and policy implications based on secondary data, policy documents, and current literature. The study comes to the conclusion that, with the right policies, institutional capacity building, and inclusive implementation strategies, digital technologies can greatly improve circular economy practices in India.
