It has been powers to issue directions and also to exercise the powers under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986
- Previously, NMCG was the implementation wing of the National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA).

The council has the overall responsibility for superintendence of pollution prevention and rejuvenation of river Ganga Basin.
