A circular economy is an economic model aimed at eliminating waste and pollution by redeploying products and materials in the process.

Participating in a panel discussion on “Infrastructure and Ecological Balance” at the Business Standard Samriddhi Event in Lucknow on Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited (UPPTCL) Managing Director Mayur Maheswari said the government has envisioned a circular economy road map for the industry, spanning both public and private sector entities.
