Abstract: India is one of the leading countries in textile manufacturing and exports almost to the entire world thanks to the natural resource abundance. However, the current scenario of textile industries in India is quite behind the internation standard in terms of implementing new strategies and norms. Several scholars have studied the obstacles to adopting a circular economy within the textile industry. However, this study aims to not only identify the barriers involved in the implementation of circular economy in the Indian textile industry from a supply chain perspective, but also form a cause-effect relationship between the barriers and provide the importance rating of all these barriers. This study used the technique of fuzzy DEMATEL (decision making trial and evaluation laboratory) and MCDM (multi criteria decision making) to analyze the barriers and to reduce the vagueness and increase the judgement preciseness of the inputs received by industry experts in linguistic terms. This research provides fundamentals of strategies to be implemented by management of textile factories in India to execute the principles of circular economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
