The IGEP Programme, which is implemented jointly by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) of the Government of India and GIZ, has a thrust area on Sustainable Industrial Development (SID). Under the SID component, “Environment Friendly Techniques in Identified Industry Sectors” is one of the core topics. In India, the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) make up for a very large part of the industrial profile and are often characterised by the use of outdated/inefficient technologies and production processes resulting in pollution problems. The major forms of pollution include air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination, noise pollution, and thermal pollution. For the SMEs, constraints on using modern and environment friendly technologies vary from shortage of capital, limited access to technology, underdeveloped infrastructure, inadequate research and development, and the lack of awareness on the options available to them for pollution prevention and control.
