In India, the issue of holding corporations accountable for environmental harm is of great importance due to the nation's intricate environmental issues and the significant influence of corporations on environmental outcomes. This study critically assesses the legal principles that govern corporate responsibility for environmental damage in India. It evaluates the current legal structure, including key laws like the Environment (Protection) Act of 1986 and the Companies Act of 2013, and examines notable court cases to track the development of environmental law and its impact on corporate responsibility. The study also identifies obstacles and critiques regarding the effective enforcement of corporate liability laws and conducts a comparative analysis with global legal principles to identify potential areas for enhancement. Based on these findings, the study provides recommendations for fortifying the legal framework and improving corporate responsibility for environmental damage in India.
