It is not the first time the odd-even number plate scheme has been implemented in New Delhi, which comes as officials say all primary schools in the city will remain closed until the end of this week.
India's capital is bringing in odd-even vehicle number plate restrictions to curb air pollution. The move means private vehicles with odd number plates will be allowed on roads on odd dates, while vehicles with even number plates will be allowed on roads on alternate days. The restrictions will be in force from 13 November to 20 November. It follows a government enforced fine of 20,000 rupees for drivers who are caught using diesel or old petrol vehicles.
Pollution levels in New Delhi often worsen during November, when calm winds and low temperatures trap pollutants emitted from various sources, including vehicles and dust.
