Over the last century, industrial production in India has risen more than 50‐fold. India has made rapid industrialization strides and is one of the world's ten most developing nations. However, poor monitoring and control of emissions combined with unplanned growth have resulted in significant harm to the environment.

Industrialization is the period of social and economic transition that transforms a human civilization from an agrarian community into an industrial culture, including the comprehensive rearrangement of an economy into an industrial culture (Bhandari and Garg 2015). Industrialization in a country leads to increases in urbanization, extraction of natural resources, industrial growth, and environmental pollution, and a decrease in environmental suitability.

Industrialization is on the expansion as is environmental pollution because of emissions and waste produced from these industries. Industrial pollution because of its higher production can possibly cause irreversible responses in nature and henceforth represents a significant risk to sustainable development (Baek et al. 2009).
