Business Review Magazine Environmental In their article How can the Indian economy help incentivize climate-conscious entities?, published in MBAEx 'Business Review' magazine (sixth edition, 2025), Mr. Aditya Shukla and Mr. Bhawanshu Singh envisage a future where every product carries a climate impact label, empowering consumers to make informed decisions. The article lays emphasis on incentivizing climate conscious entities, by which India can not only mitigate the impacts of climate change but also stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and enhance global competitiveness. The Indian economy can play a pivotal role by supporting campaigns that educate consumers about the environmental impact of their choices. Incentives like tax breaks for companies adopting sustainable practices, offering preferential lending rates for green projects by Indian financial institutions, can be a game-changer. Such fiscal incentives would encourage industries to pivot towards greener alternatives, thus embedding sustainability into the core of business operations. Furthermore, developing green bonds and climate bonds could mobilize much needed capital for large-scale environmental projects. By supporting and encouraging climate-conscious businesses, India can create a robust green economy that not only tackles the urgent issues of climate change but also paves the way for a prosperous future for all its citizens, thus becoming a leader in the global green market.
