The noxious air hanging over India's towns and cities kills more than 100,000 children under five every year, a damning study published Wednesday for World Environment Day found.

India has repeatedly failed to address environmental concerns. Last year a UN report found 14 of the world's 15 most polluted cities were Indian.

Carried out by the Centre for Science and Environment , the report also found 86 percent of Indian water bodies were "critically polluted".As of last month India had 280,000 electric vehicles, a fraction of the target of 15-16 million by 2020. India also recorded a 56 percent rise in the number of industries creating hazardous waste between 2009 and 2016-17, while the number of grossly polluting industries soared 136 percent between 2011 and 2018.
