The environment is becoming a problem that is far more important on a global scale from an economic, social, and political perspective. In recent years, concern for the natural world has emerged as one of the most crucial components of societal responsibility. Because of the alarming rate at which environmental externalities caused by corporations have increased, it is absolutely necessary to put effective environmental protection measures into place. As a direct consequence of this, a significant number of associations and organizations acknowledged the gravity of the circumstance and started working to advance and protect this cause. Environmental consciousness and the obligation to account for it are rapidly growing as issues of concern in the modern world. As a consequence of rising concerns about environmental responsibility and the development of a more sustainable industrial economy, a cutting-edge and completely brand-new subfield of accounting known as environmental accounting has emerged as a response to these challenges. By elucidating the environmental effects that are the result of the procurement and processing of materials, as well as the manufacturing, sales, distribution, usage, maintenance, and disposal of products, environmental accounting will be able to more accurately determine the costs that are actually incurred. It can provide assistance to companies and organizations in the development of innovative solutions to modify resource use, eliminate resource limitations, fulfill regulatory standards, and prevent environmental problems. Accounting for the environment's long-term viability is the focus of green accounting, also known as environmental accounting, a subfield of accounting that is still in its infancy but experiencing rapid growth as a subject of study. The discipline of environmental accounting is just starting to take off in India right now. Even though Indian businesses abide by the laws and rules that pertain to the preservation of the environment, no clear-cut policies have yet been established at the national, state, or even corporate levels to guarantee the degree of compliance with environmental standards. This is the case despite the fact that Indian businesses comply with the laws and rules that pertain to the preservation of the environment. The purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive overview of environmental accounting and reporting in India. [Citation needed] In addition to this, the report intends to present potential solutions to a number of environmental accounting practices that are lacking in India. The main environmental criteria that Indian corporations reported as a part of their environmental reporting procedure are also a primary focus of the study.
