Session brief

The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) is pleased to invite you to the dialogue on ‘Viksit Bharat 2047: Unlocking Organic Waste Circularity Potential’ on 29 May 2026, 1030–1530 IST, at The Royal Ballroom, Imperial Hotel, New Delhi.

To realize the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, India must transition to a circular bioeconomy by leveraging organic waste—which accounts for nearly half of municipal solid waste—to ensure energy security and meet climate commitments. While policy frameworks like the Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0, SATAT, and GOBARdhan have built significant momentum, ground-level implementation remains hindered by gaps in segregation, financing, and institutional capacity. Because Bulk Waste Generators (BWGs) produce an estimated 30–40% of urban waste and face increasing responsibility under the Solid Waste Management 2026 guidelines, this convening serves as a vital platform to align policymakers, industry, and civil society. By bridging the divide between policy intent and scalable action, the gathering aims to transform organic waste into a strategic resource for sustainable growth.
