Odd-even scheme in Delhi will be implemented after review by Supreme Court

New Delhi: Ride-hailing platform Uber on Thursday said it has not yet received any order from the Delhi State Department on banning app-based taxis in line with Supreme Court orders on the odd-even car rationing scheme.

The odd-even scheme in Delhi will be implemented after a Supreme Court review as the city grapples with severe air pollution.

An Uber spokesperson told IANS that they have not yet received any order from the transport department.

“We would like to reiterate that all cars on the Uber platform in Delhi are CNG or electric and shared mobility helps more people travel in fewer cars,” a company spokesperson said.

State Environment Minister Gopal Rai said on Wednesday that the odd-even policy will be implemented from November 13 only after the order of the Supreme Court.

He said the transport department has been asked to prepare a comprehensive report on app-based taxis coming to Delhi from border states.

“The court has ordered that we stop taxis coming from outside Delhi and ban vehicles with orange tags. We will follow the instructions,” he said.

Earlier, the Delhi government had announced that it will implement the ‘odd-even vehicles’ policy to allow vehicles to ply on the basis of registration number in Delhi from November 13 to 20.

On Tuesday, terming schemes like ‘odd-even’ to deal with air pollution issues as mere ‘optics’, the Supreme Court directed the Delhi government to regulate the entry of orange tagged vehicles in the city.

The Delhi government is planning to cause artificial rain through cloud seeding around November 20-21.
