Systematic removal of trade barrier across many industries during the early 1990s raised a debate over the role of trade on the environment. This thesis attempts to gain a deeper understanding of the environmental implications of trade liberalization in India. The study concludes that differential impact of average tariff reduction during trade liberalization in India promotes heavy polluting industries.
