  • Information

    What is the odd-even formula?

  • Private vehicles in Delhi with odd and even registration numbers are to be allowed to ply on alternate days only. However, CNG fuelled buses, taxis and rickshaws are exempt from the rule.

    Delhi Govt's proposed odd-even pollution solution

    Delhi Govt's proposed odd-even pollution solution
  • The Delhi government announced that movement of private vehicles will be restricted to alternate days in an attempt to control the deteriorating pollution situation in the capital.

    Delhi surpassed Beijing last year to become the world's most polluted city, according to a WHO report.

    The move termed "road space rationing" is widely practiced in many cities in the world including Beijing and Paris.

  • Support

    The arguments supporting the formula

    The arguments supporting the formula
  • Delhi's air pollution levels have become a health hazard over the last few years and vehicular traffic is a large contributor.

    Delhi also has severe traffic snarls during peak hours and the move will go a long way in improving traffic conditions.

    More efficient road space allocation will also improve the overall carbon efficiency of the city saving fuel and money.

  • Against

    Arguments against the formula

    Arguments against the formula
  • Many areas in Delhi don't have an efficient public transportation system.

    Frequency of metro trains will have to be increased to accommodate more passengers.

    Increasing the number of buses and taxis will have the same effect on traffic that it does now.

    A car is legal property of a citizen and such a move may infringe upon the fundamental rights of the citizen.

    Other cities with Road Space Rationing

  • Paris implemented the rule during emergency pollution situations in 2014 and 2015 and successfully curbed pollution levels both times.

    Beijing implemented the rules during the 2008 Olympics and successfully reduced traffic and pollution over one month.

    In Mexico City, the rule has been implemented since 1989 but has been largely unsuccessful.

    Colombian capital Bogota unsuccessfully implemented the rule in 2010 for two months.
