Not sure if it's possible but it's being reported

Hope not, as it "must" follow usual govt delays of 10-20 years more. So by 2050 probably yes.

There must be a more practical solution to take care of the emission from the vehicles. Maybe lesser vehicles on the road, or more strict regulations like UAE to have the emission levels checked on each vehicle before it is registered for another year, starting from the public transport which can be checked for fuel emissions and better their emission levels as most pollution comes from buses and heavy vehicles.

Just FYI, last I remember that since year 2000 in Delhi there is mandatory PUC (Pollution under control) test to be done once every three months and every vehicle must stick that signed and stamped sticker or else pay the fine. I heard in last few years they have tried the odd/even plate number to be used on road without any great success.

I personally think it's the population influx in Delhi causing all this great concern and govt need to control this some how:

• Delhi: 2017 - 25 Million in 1,484 km²
• Dubai: 2017 - 2.75 Million in 4,114 km²
• UAE: 2017 - 9.37 Million in 83,600 km²
