This paper assesses the implementation of the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules, 2016, in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi. Delhi, being a unique administrative and political entity that is neither a full-fledged state nor a Union Territory, presents specific challenges in the enforcement of these rules. The study examines the relevant SWM rules and the bye-laws notified by the Delhi government in 2018, evaluating their potential to effectively implement the 2016 Rules.
