i think the ban on diesel cars is only meant for commercial vehicles that is taxi's included and not private cars.

No this ban is for private vehicles however a lot depends on what the feasibility report say's.
Quote:
The Delhi High Court on Thursday gave the government two weeks’ time to file a status report on the feasibility of banning diesel cars and make compressed natural gas (CNG) mandatory for private vehicles.
Thirteen cars run on diesel cause pollution equal to one bus running on the same fuel, the report said.
“How can the city be rid of the evil of pollution if every sixth or seventh BMW and Mercedes is run on diesel,” Justice Mudgal observed.
Government counsel Mukta Gupta submitted that a ban on diesel cars or “private light motor vehicles” would only be viable after a legislative amendment in the Motor Vehicles Act.
“The Act, as it stands now, can not ban diesel cars. Unless and until a specific amendment is introduced in the motor vehicles law, we cannot reject the applications for registration of diesel cars,” Gupta argued.
She said the Bench should direct the Surface Ministry to push for an amendment in Parliament.
