How does the ban on surge pricing affect the companies, customers and the economy? Recently, there has been a ban on surge pricing in two of India's busiest cities, namely Delhi and Bangalore.

I understand that surge pricing is a method to maintain the balance between the supply and demand. So, it's ban would affect the taxi aggregator companies. 

However, is it really doing benefit to the consumer, as the Govt. claims?

Overall, how does the ban on surge pricing affects the taxi aggregator companies, the consumers and the economy as a whole?

I have read through articles this this, however, they give a very naive explanation. So, I'm looking for something clearer from a microeconomics point of view.

PS: Delhi has an odd-even rule too (for combating excessive traffic and pollution), which means that cars with an even (registration)number [the one on the number plate] are only allowed in the even dates, and the ones with an odd number o the odd dates. For example, if I am DL 23 BK 1900, I am only allowed on the road on even days, and not in odd days.
It depends.

If customers are currently making informed decisions when they book a surge-priced car, then banning surge pricing punishes customers, drivers, intermediaries, and the wider economy. It deliberately introduces an economic inefficiency.

If, however, a lot of customers are making uninformed decisions and are effectively being conned by surge pricing that they didn't expect or didn't understand, then banning surge pricing stops economically inefficient activity, protects consumers, and can be a net contributor to the economy.

Or if surge pricing increases negative externalities, then banning it could give a net benefit: for example, if the worst-polluting cars only come onto the road when surge pricing is available.
