Delhi's transport department has been directed to ban app-based taxis "in accordance with the Supreme Court's orders" on Wednesday the city's Environment Minister Gopal Rai said on Wednesday.

While Delhi Chief Minister Arind Kejriwal's Odd-Even-Rule might have faced a lot of criticism in India, it seems to have inspired Spain's capital city, Madrid, to follow suit.

Scores of diesel taxi drivers, affected by the recent ban imposed by the Supreme Court, today staged a protest outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in New Delhi.

Livelihood of more than 30,000 drivers and their families is in jeopardy with the Supreme Court banning their diesel-run taxis from plying in Delhi-NCR region, the union of drivers said.

After the Delhi government, the Centre has now approached the Supreme Court seeking relief from the crackdown it ordered on diesels cabs in Delhi and neighbouring areas. The ban will impact the BPO industry which uses diesel-run taxis to ferry employees and earns the country billions of dollars every year, the government said.

India's business process management or BPO sector could face a potential loss of $1 billion if the ban on diesel taxis in the Delhi NCR region continues for 2-3 weeks more, industry body Nasscom has said.

As protests by taxi owners crippled traffic in Delhi for the second straight day, the state government has asked the Supreme Court for two more days to submit a detailed roadmap on how to phase out diesel cabs from the city.
