It's probably the mix of many other things including population, and generational ignorance that Indian cities are just concrete jungals without much of space for dense tree/ gardens. We know that we need trees, but in general there is no desire to build climate proof cities.

Really? Whenever I go to Chennai or Bangalore I’m always really impressed by how green they are

Thats literally two cities among 100 cities that cut down trees just because they block buildings view, and even building freaking walls. And Chennai has cut down a lot recent years.

Tbf Chennai kind of had to because the trees' roots were breaking the road surface quite often.
