本研究は、インドの持続可能な産業化に向けた国民の認識、中小零細企業（MSME）の課題、クラスター型グリーン移行を分析。66人の調査結果から、90.9%が持続可能性を認知、97.0%が産業の汚染寄与を認識、70.8%が環境配慮企業を選好。54.8%が再生可能エネルギーへの追加費用負担に前向きで、MSMEの最大の障壁はコスト・資金調達（50.8%）。政策・金融・経営の統合的介入を提言。

This mixed-methods study examines sustainable industrialization in India, analyzing public perceptions (survey of 66 respondents), MSME challenges, and cluster-based strategies. Findings show 90.9% awareness of sustainability, 97.0% believe industries cause significant pollution, and 70.8% prefer eco-friendly companies. 54.8% support renewable energy even at higher prices, while 50.8% identify cost/finance as the key barrier for MSMEs. The paper recommends phased policy, financial, and managerial interventions for a just transition.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
インドの産業クラスターとMSMEのグリーン化事例は、日本の中小企業や産業集積地（例：関東・関西の工業地帯）の脱炭素政策に示唆を与える。特に、共有インフラによるクラスター型アプローチは、日本の「カーボンニュートラルポート」構想とも親和性が高い。
In the global GX context
This India-focused study offers global lessons on engaging MSMEs and building cluster-based green infrastructure, relevant for just transition policies in emerging economies. The strong public support for green industrialization (80% favoring fair jobs) signals social license for ambitious climate action.

📄 Abstract（原文）
For India to balance social justice, environmental protection, and economic growth, sustainable industrialization has become a national imperative. Greenhouse gas emissions reached an estimated 3.22 billion tonnes of CO2 in 2025, even as renewable energy capacity crossed 50.07% of total installed power (484.82 GW), enabling India to meet its COP26 targets ahead of schedule. However, industrial activities continue to generate pollution, deplete resources, and deepen regional and social inequalities. This study uses a mixed-methods design combining a primary survey of 66 respondents across India, secondary data from government and international reports, case studies of industrial clusters, and an extensive literature review. The analysis identifies four interlinked pillars for a sustainable industrial future: unified policy frameworks, technological innovation and circular economy practices, green finance and MSME empowerment, and cluster-based strategies for collective compliance. Survey findings reveal that 90.9% of respondents are aware of sustainability concepts, 97.0% believe industries contribute significantly to pollution, and 70.8% prefer buying from companies that follow eco-friendly and fair practices. A total of 54.8% are willing to support renewable energy use even at higher prices, while 50.8% see high cost/finance as the key barrier for MSMEs to adopt green practices. The results highlight strong public support for inclusive green industrialization, with 80.0% favouring fair jobs and inclusion of women and weaker sections and 70.3% endorsing cluster-based industrial development with shared green infrastructure. The paper recommends phased policy, financial, and managerial interventions to promote MSME greening, strengthen cluster governance, and advance a just transition aligned with India's net-zero 2070 commitment.
