<br/><br/> The primary objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between industrial growth and environmental degradation, with reference to the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis, in the context of the Indian core industries. Both the traditional inverted U-shaped and the contemporary N-shaped industrial EKC have been empirically tested to understand the long-term environmental impact of the core industries’ growth. The findings indicate that even though the core industries’ growth is expected to help momentarily improve environmental quality for a duration, failing to emphasise the innovation of industrial products and processes can cause further ecological imbalance in the long run. –Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/indias-industrial-transformation/industrial-growth-and-environmental-degradation.html<br/>
