That is what the Montreal Protocol, meant to do away with ozone depleting substances, has become. India's phase out programme under the protocol is only helping the big businesses in the country earn some quick bucks. About US $75 million of public money has been spent 'compensating' them. Where and how they are spending the money is anyone's guess. Is the money only aiding the industry's shift from one set of dangerous chemicals - chloroflourocarbons - to another - hydrochlorofluorocarbons? Is the industry and the government playing into the hands of North-based mulitnationals? The fate of thousands of small-scale units involved in the trade depends on finding answers to these questions. NEELAM SINGH reports on how India is gearing up to meet the imminent phase out deadline.
