Abstract: This paper deals with the evolution of laws, institutions and polices relating to environmental protection in India. It considers the following questions : (a) whether the laws are evolved indigenously or influenced by external factors?, (b) how have the mixed economy model and the stage of development influenced the design of policies for internalisation of the externalities?, (c) how is liability allocated? (d) how are the laws enforced?, and (e) what is the scope for using non-market non-government institutions for achieving environmental sustainability? [MSE Working Paper].
