Abstract

Highlighting the negative aspects of the strategy of promotion of the small-scale industries (SSIs), this chapter discusses environmental and health impacts of polluting industrial clusters. Improving the environmental performance of these SSIs has become crucial in this era of globalization as the increasing awareness regarding the environmental impacts of industrial activity. Common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) are being propagated as a policy response and a collective solution to deal with the water pollution problem from the SSI clusters. Based on qualitative evidence on the performance of CETPs in industrial clusters, the analysis suggests that in spite of being operational for almost two decades now, the performance of the CETPs has been unsatisfactory. Based on empirical evidence from other developing countries, various alternatives to improve the environmental performance of SSIs in India have been discussed.
