The Delhi government has told the Supreme Court that the odd-even scheme will see 10 lakh vehicles off the Capital’s roads, considerably reducing congestion and pollution in winter.
The government said the total number of vehicles registered, excluding electric cars, in Delhi are 20,74,194 as on November 8, 2023.
An affidavit by the Delhi government quoted scientific reports that the odd-even scheme of vehicular pollution control was an “effective emergency measure which reduces 30% personal car traffic on the roads during winter months”.
