The article investigates the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation in India using the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). The EKC shows that pollution initially increases with income, but then decreases as income rises further. In India, after 1990, the growth rate of CO2 emissions is lower than the growth rate of GDP, indicating that India follows the EKC pattern. This suggests that as India's economy grows, environmental quality may improve.
