Nine Delhi malls to sell liquor from next week

NEW DELHI: Liquor shops are all set to open sales in nine malls in the city. The Delhi government’s excise department has awarded licences to nine applicants and some of these are likely to begin operations from June 20.

The Delhi cabinet had approved the proposal allowing wine shops in malls with a specified set of norms. In continuance of that decision, the excise department had called for applications from interested parties.

According to officials, 14 applications were received. Of these, so far nine have been given licenses as they conformed to all the conditions. The remaining applications are still under scrutiny.

Earlier this year, Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) had opened the first authorized government-owned wine and liquor shop at DLF Mall in Vasant Kunj area. Now, private players too will enter the market.

The malls where these shops will come up are spread in different parts of the city. Some of the areas where the applicants are going to open shop in malls include Laxmi Nagar, Janakpuri, Rohini, Pitampura and Wazirpur among others.
