Abstract
In recent times due to the Indian economic growth, there is a surge in construction activities. This surge has led to an excess amount of demolition waste that is produced. According to the Building Material Promotion Council, India generates an estimated 150 million tons of C and D waste every year. Some existing initiatives and the significant stakeholders' involvement have created the demolition waste management systems essential in the building’s demolition phase. The research in the C and D and Awareness program for C and D waste that initiated has led to the implementation of some waste management systems in the building's demolition phase. In India, the amount of demolition waste produced is higher than the construction waste produced while constructing buildings. So, it is essential for the demolition waste mitigation plan in the building's demolition phase. The study aims to know circular construction and current demolition waste management performance in the Indian construction industry. Through literature review, demolition waste management systems that are carried out all around the world are collected. The current practices carried out by different stakeholders practicing in India are known through a questionnaire survey. Data interpretation is made using the data collected in the literature review and the questionnaire survey. This research identified the significant benefits, barriers, and motivation factors to implement the waste management system, and proposing any necessary changes. Designer innovation and BIM deconstruction is considered as one of the barrier-breaking innovation in adopting the circular construction.

Data collection is done through online sources like an already published research paper, books, conference proceedings, etc.; Google Forms will be used in collecting the data in a questionnaire survey to have insight about obstacles faced in adopting the circular construction during the demolition phase of the building
Summary
Accelerated urbanization, industrialization, and a surge in economic activity put pressure on the construction industries in an urban area. In 2011 India had 370 million people in an urban place alone, which has been estimated to be doubled in 2030. The Indian construction industry increased at an average rate of 10% yearly. It has been involved in increasing India's GDP from USD 20 billion to USD 60 billion in the past decade, 2000 to 2010. It has been estimated that this growth of India’s GDP equals 8 percent[1] This increased growth in India has encouraged people to build more infrastructure, which leads to the demolition of the existing building to occupy the present scenario population growth in the urban place. It has been estimated that globally 35 tons of non-metallic minerals were
