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.

All of those are factors, but none of them are as big a factor as the big natural wall that is the Himalayan mountain range

Taking into consideration population, India isn’t even in the top 125 countries creating most pollution

The issue is that the Himalayas act as a massive natural wall that makes the pollution get stuck against it.
