Abstract

Chapter 4 shows that India has major trade and investment relationship with developed countries of the world. Chapter 5 show that the structure and pattern of Indian manufacturing industries has changed over the past two and half decades. Taking into account the differences in environmental norms between the developed and developing countries, there is a concern that whether trade-oriented manufacturing growth is generating any environmental externality in India. This chapter examines the trends of manufacturing growth and pollution concentration in India, finds the relationship between manufacturing output and pollution loads at industry level and estimates the impact of manufacturing growth on environmental externalities by decomposing the total trade effect into scale, composition and technique effects.
