The colour of the taxi had no relation to Haddock being dropped by the cow. He just missed it this time.

Actually, its not only the colour the model itself. The vehicle Herge actually drew is open from top whereas the indian taxis are Ambassadors. They are closed (permanently) from top. Thats what I meant!!!

However, the vehicle used could be of a private taxi service! Because if it was a normal taxi, the driver would have run the meter!

The number plates of all vehicles in Delhi start with DL, regardless of whether they are taxis or not. I spotted two more cars in subsequent scenes one had a WB the other started with E.

Herge's research in this respect was not as perfect as he would have liked it to be.
