India has strict anti pollution laws on the books. It also has virtually zero useful enforcement. I know this well from being there for many years. A few bucks and inspectors find a way to not notice anything.

India also has one of the dirtiest coal industries one could dream of with very low grade (high ash) coal. The industry is highly unionized and totally resistant to change.
