"Construction and demolition waste" “means building materials, debris, and rubble resulting from the construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition of any civil structure (CPCB, Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change, 2016).” The data about various categories of cities was approximated based on insights derived from the secondary literature. In 2016, the metropolitan areas in India generated an excess of 150 million metric tons of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste. (CPCB, Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change, 2016), with small and medium-sized cities accounting for about half of the total. This research examines the current evolution of standards in Nagpur city, analyzes the current situation, and proposes guidelines to improve the situation. With a focus on developing comprehensive and effective strategies, this study seeks to address the unique challenges posed by C&D waste in the urban context of Nagpur. By analyzing existing practices, understanding the specific waste generation dynamics, and proposing standardized guidelines, this research aims to contribute to sustainable and streamlined C&D waste management, enhancing environmental responsibility and urban well-being in Nagpur. A questionnaire survey conducted among practicing and reputable builders in the Nagpur region has provided valuable insights and analysis to guide specialized recommendations for reducing C&D waste production. Ultimately, this study seeks to educate decision-makers in the industry, key players, and environmental activists to promote C&D waste management and enhance urban life in Nagpur.
