This study explores the significant expansion of the Indian automotive sector since the economic reforms of the 1990s, focusing on its impact on economic growth and air quality. The sector's contribution to India's GDP has grown to nearly 8%, driven by rising middle-class incomes, favourable loan policies, and substantial foreign direct investment. However, the surge in vehicle numbers has led to severe air pollution, particularly in metropolitan areas like Delhi, where vehicles exhaust are a key contributor to deteriorating air quality. The study uses correlation analysis to show the direct relationship between rising automobile sales and increased carbon dioxide emissions, highlighting the severe environmental and health consequences of this growth. Despite the inception of stricter vehicle exhaust norms like Bharat Stage VI, the surge in vehicle sales has continued to worsen air pollution levels. The study calls for stronger policies to broaden transit systems infrastructure, and improve urban planning to decline dependence on private cars. It also emphasize on need for broadening public understanding about the environmental and health risks posed by vehicle emissions. The study concludes that a multi-faceted approach, including stricter emission standards and better urban planning, is essential for mitigating the negative impacts of the automobile sector while ensuring sustainable economic growth.
