Environmental Services: Opportunities For Private Organisations | Selvi G. V. K.

This paper reports some of the findings of a study undertaken to assess the Environmental Industry in India for a project of Ministry of Commerce by TERI. The study reveals the structure, composition, potential of environmental market in India and the opportunities it throws up for the private sector organizations. The demand for environmental services are far greater than its supply and the government is not in a position to invest in the environmental sector to meet the demand. Environmental services market is driven by enforcement and implementation of environmental legislations, hence the study also assesses the environmental legislations, rulings and its effectiveness in terms of protecting the environment from degradation.
