The mixed-methods research uses qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative investigation examines green manufacturing strategies of certain Indian automakers. Their eco-friendly materials procurement, energy-efficient manufacturing, waste minimization, and renewable energy integration are assessed. In addition, the research examines manufacturers' difficulties to applying these practises and their solutions. The practical results of green manufacturing adoption are examined through quantitative analysis. Different manufacturers compare carbon emissions, water use, and garbage creation.
