Wow!
Airbus must be one happy bunny, just when doubts were being raised as to whether they could break even on the A380 program.

Where is EK planning to fly these many whales though? Any word about India lifting the ban?

I think these 50 A380s will be replacements for the current ones. If I'm right, EK replaces their aircrafts once they are old, although they still have few 15 year old B777s on operations.

I don't see whether they can have all of their aircrafts in full occupancy with 100 A380s operating at the same time.
