Delhi NCR is now one of the most stressful areas in the world in terms of the environment. The stress on the environment in the Delhi NCR region has been caused by rapid urbanization, lucrative development, artificial cooling, and more transport. The Delhi NCR is experiencing a couple of pollution-related problems in this environment, which include similar issues as weakened air, weakened water, excessive waste, and excessive noise. Overall, in the malignancy of the existence of a few environmental regulations and programs, the stance of pollution within the Delhi NCR area is veritably elevated, and this issue is of intense concern with regards to the performance of the governing structures within the region. This paper analyzes the pollution-based issues in the Delhi NCR area in terms of practice and governance. Within this setting, the research focuses on the aspect of the development of the megacity, augmented transport, new edifices, and the consumption of energy in the issues relating to the pollution in the Delhi NCR area. The paper also looks at the success of the environmental programs and the systems of governance in solving the pollution- related issues in the Delhi NCR region. The qualitative system with use of secondary data is used in this research. With this kind of environment, the study is based on government publications, policy studies, environmental studies, and academic publications. As the results of this paper indicate, the pollution- related issues of the Delhi NCR area are not confined to the landscape; the pollution- related issues are connected to the overall development procedures and the regimes in the area in a variety of ways. Based on the research findings, the Delhi NCR area pollution related issues can be resolved by the effective perpetration of the environmental governance systems in the area. Within this context, the study comes to the conclusion that the overall pollution- related issues in the Delhi NCR area can be resolved with the help of the combination of the overall environmental policy with the overall sustainable growth policy in the area. Within this setting, the general pollution issues in the Delhi NCR region can be solved with references to the general sustainable megacity planning in the area.
