This paper uses qualitative analysis through the use of graphs and data from the past 100 years to discuss relevant economic indicators and sustainability metrics. The aim of this research paper is to investigate the nexus between sustainability and economic development in India. Since the Industrial Revolution, carbon emissions have increased dramatically due to industrialization. Aiming for net-zero emissions are about 140 nations, including the US, China, India, and a large portion of the EU. By promoting deforestation, changes in land use, and energy consumption—all of which fuel climate change—urbanization makes sustainability issues worse. Socioeconomic inequality, institutional inefficiencies, and resource limitations present further challenges for India in striking a balance between sustainability and economic growth. Additionally, especially in rural and underserved communities, these problems impede fair access to basic resources like sanitary facilities and clean drinking water. Furthermore, This research shows that globalization, socioeconomic inequality, and institutional impediments make it difficult for India to strike a balance between environmental sustainability and economic growth. Investing in renewable energy, environmentally friendly transportation, and inclusive, region-specific regulations are some solutions. Stakeholder cooperation and targeted rural investments are essential. In order to strengthen sustainability initiatives, the report highlights research shortages in rural, tribal, and informal economies and promotes AI, IoT, and local studies. By examining India's economic growth in light of the SDGs, combining economic and environmental data, bringing attention to regional issues, and stressing the importance of ICT and clean energy, the study enhances the body of knowledge on sustainability. In growing economies like India, its cross-disciplinary methodology and empirical findings provide practical policy recommendations for striking a balance between environmental protection and rapid development
