Microbreweries have been allowed by the Delhi Govt

Microbreweries have been allowed by the Delhi Govt and any Hotel, Restaurant, Pub can take a Licensee by paying Rs 2 Lac per year & will be allowed to produce 500 to 1000 Ltrs of Beer per day. Of course, if it is opened in your locality, the teens & youngsters of your locality will consume it as it is to be sold in the own outlet itself, unpacked. If you want to oppose, it is the right time, as they have still to seek the public opinion.


दिल्ली सरकार ने मिक्रोबरेवेरिएस अलो कर दी हैं. अब कोई भी होटेल, रेस्टोरेंट या फिर पब, 2 लाख की फीस देकर ले सकता है, 500 से 1000 लिटेर बियर हर रोज बनाने का लाइसेन्स. अब अगर ये फॅक्टरी आपके इलाक़े मे खुलेगी तो यक़ीनन आपके इलाक़े के यंग्स्टर इसको पीकर अपनी जिंदगी बर्बाद करेंगे क्योंकि ये बियर पॅक कर के  नही बल्कि खुली बिकनी है, उसी दुकान पर जिसने इसको बनाया है. इसका विरोध कीजिए और जैसे ही सरकार इस पर आपके कॉमेंट्स / ओपीनियन माँगे, तो डॅट कर विरोध करें.

Microbreweries in Delhi - Mr D B Sood from whatsApp

There is a saying: "An open gate will tempt a saint". Scatter microbreweries everywhere. Easy access will tempt 🏫 schoolboys even girls 8th/9th class onwards, not to speak of college going ones. 

Today will be 🍺 beer,  2 morrow 🍷 wine,  day after whiskey barrels. Twist the tap, fill your jug aur tun hoker naali mein gir jao. Another sewer blockage problem. 

Bring also gaanja &  opium at every door-step.  Still Indian excise deptt. would never have overflowing coffers. Men in power will drill holes in them in no time.

After Reservation Policy now this Drink Policy.  Where are you thou, Nelson Mandela?  India is collapsing w/o a war!

Microbrewery licence norms notified

Outlets will be allowed to brew different varieties of beer and sell it within the premises

The Union Territory will soon join a select group of cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Gurugram and Hyderabad in having micro breweries with the government making necessary amendments in Excise rules. The move is aimed at boosting tourism and the business sector.
The Puducherry government has amended the Puducherry Excise Rules, 1970 and published the amendment in the government gazette and has invited applications for grant of microbrewery licence, a senior official in the department told The Hindu.
According to the official, microbreweries would make it possible to brew different varieties of draught beer or craft beer catering to the tastes of customers. The draught beer will be manufactured and served to customers for consumption within the premises with an installed capacity not exceeding more than 1,000 litres a day.The fee for grant of microbrewery licence had been fixed at ₹2 lakh a year. The draught beer so produced would not be bottled and sold outside the premises and would be served in glasses or pitchers. The alcohol content of the beer produced and supplied to customers should not exceed 8%, he said.
The licence holder will make arrangements to check the quality of raw material used and the liquor produced in the microbrewery by a chemist holding a degree in science with chemistry as one of the subjects preferably organic chemistry or biochemistry or specialisation in alcohol technology.

Quality control

According to the draft rules, the beer produced in the microbrewery should be released for sale only after it has been certified by a chemist that it is fit for consumption. The applicable Excise Duty and Additional Excise Duty would be collected on 50% of the annual installed capacity of the microbrewery in advance to be paid along with the licence fee.
The applicant on payment of applicable licence fee for FL2 tourism category licence can serve other varieties of IMFL/alcoholic drinks on the premises.

Hic...Hic...Hurray - Delhi Govt has now allowed the Microbreweries in Delhi !




Hic....Hic....Hurray! 

But are we prepared for such microbreweries in Delhi? 

Nasheyaan ne pat te Punjabi Gabhru - And now homemade chilled beer in every locality?

That's great. At least the govt will get good revenue by way of Excise. Probably that's why DDA has allowed it. Delhi Govt has allowed it. LG has allowed it. Who cares for the Masterplan of Delhi 2021?

Be assured it won't have any Law n Order problem in your locality. No Pollution, no traffic jam, no congestion, and it won't have any impact on the safety & security of women in this Rape Capital.

Moreover, it will be easy to locate the growing teens as Delhi will soon become a BEER HUB or the BEER CAPITAL of India.

Enjoy Bro...who cares for the future of our kids...as even the so-called - AAM AADMI ki Sarkar has ALLOWED it. 

DDA is already in the process of increasing the number of workers from 5 to 10 and Electric load from 5kW to 11kW for the household industries in Delhi.

Hic... Hic... Hurray!

But do you know how it started? You will be shocked to find ki sabhi ek hi thaali ke chate batte hain. Please go through the News below:

Cabinet pushes beer brewing proposal despite a ban in Delhi

The Master Plan for Delhi 2021 prohibits such manufacture


The interest shown by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) to set up a micro-brewery in Delhi appealed so much to the Delhi Government that it has almost paved the way for allowing such activity at the airport and at five-star hotels.

Hush-hush discussions


On Monday, the Delhi Cabinet discussed the issue, but in a hush-hush manner, and while a number of schemes were announced following the meeting, not a word was said on the pushing forth of this liquor business proposal.
While the issue would be discussed again at the next Cabinet meeting, a note circulated on the matter admitted that as per the Master Plan for Delhi 2021, industry manufacturing “barley malt and extract” and brewery and potable spirits” shall be prohibited within Delhi.
The note said “a micro-brewery is a small-sized modern brewery that produces a limited amount of beer” and such projects would “provide freshly-brewed beer, free from additives and can be easily made available at the hotels, etc., that have a clientele of different profile.”
It also mentioned that following the “interest” shown by DIAL, a proposal in this regard was submitted before the Delhi Cabinet in the draft Excise Policy for 2009-10 and in September 2009, the Cabinet approved the proposal for introduction of licences to micro-breweries in form L-55. Accordingly, it said, the Delhi Liquor Licence Rules, 1976, were amended and licences in form L-55 were introduced for retail in vend of beer, manufactured by any micro-brewery.
Despite the Master Plan prohibiting such manufacturing, the Delhi Government pushed the matter and took “clarifications” from Delhi Development Authority and its own Industry Department.
In its response, DDA stated that a “micro-brewery is not in the list of industries but addition/alterations to the list of prohibited industries could be made in public interest and if considered appropriate by the Central Government.”
Thereafter the Delhi Pollution Control Committee and Central Pollution Control Board were also approached by the Delhi Government. DPCB demanded that the opinion of CPCB be taken and the latter submitted an Inspection Report to the DDA.
Later, the Excise Department of Delhi Government received a reference from the Union Ministry of Urban Development that the “DDA has forwarded the proposal for approval of the Ministry regarding permitting setting up of micro-brewery/brew hub at IGI Airport and hotels in Delhi rated five-star and above.”
The Excise Department in turn told the MoUD that the Delhi Government has “accorded its concurrence to set up a micro-brewery only at IGI Airport and for allowing micro-breweries at five-star hotels.”
The note also said the proposal has “become all the more important keeping in view the fact that Delhi is an important destination for foreign tourists and generally mild liquor/fresh brewed beer is preferred as compared to hard liquor.”

Delhi Aajtak Conclave - Power minister on fixed charges - B S Vohra

Why don't we elect the representatives on the qualitative lines ?

Life goes out of gear at almost every downpour in the city. The so-called sewer lines, that were laid some 40 years ago have become choked & hence null n void. But there is none to care for the national capital and residents face severe hardships every monsoon with knee-deep water, potholes, etc. It is the most Polluted city. It is the most congested city. Encroachments all over. Traffic Jams have become a part of the life. Large uncontrolled Landfill sites and open Dhalao in every locality are responsible for the woes of the residents.

If this is the status of Water Logging in Delhi, Can you guess which Civic Agency is working for the City, seriously?

The question is that how long this will continue? When the voters will come to their senses to elect the representatives on the qualitative lines.

TOI: Moderate rain creates ugly splash, again

BS Vohra, who heads the East Delhi Joint RWA Forum, questioned the claims of civic officials and demanded accountability. “These scenes are repeated every few days. Do the civic bodies have the right then to collect taxes?” he said. “We pay penalties when we don’t pay taxes. Similar treatment should be meted out to the officials if their work fails to meet expectations.”

Meeting with the Power Minister of Delhi

Today, we had a meeting with the Power Minister of Delhi at his residence along with Mr. Rajiv Kakria and Mr. Saurabh Gandhi. Though we discussed all the issues concerning the Fixed charges of Electricity but seems it will be difficult to crack the nut so easily. You too will have to join us in the efforts to raise the issue.

Please note, we are paying the Fixed charges of Electricity on the Total Sanctioned Load of 22,876 MW, while the Highest Ever Peak Load of Delhi is just 7,115 MW. We are regularly raising the issue since March 2018 onwards, when DERC had announced a massive hike in the Tariff of Fixed Charges. 

Why don't you join us in our efforts and send a mail or a tweet to the Power Minister of Delhi asking,"why we have to pay the Fixed charges of Electricity on the Total Sanctioned Load, while the Highest ever Peak Load of Electricity is much lesser ?".

Load reduction of Electricity ?

Discoms had sent a Notice for the Load reduction along with your Electricity bills after March 2018. Please check all those bills and if any such message is there, you can move forward. Though for the Sanctioned Load of up to 5 kW, they had done it automatically, those having a Sanctioned Load of above 5 KW, consumers had to go to the Discoms office to get the Load Reduction. 

Similarly, those having Lifts in the home with 11 kW sanctioned load had the opportunity to get the Load Reduction. It was converted into 3 kW or 5 to 6 kW at different periods of time. Please check your bills after March 2018.

Load reduction of Electricity ?

Grateful to the Forum for taking-up the common cause reg. woes faced by citizens reg. Sanctioned Load. I too am a victim of unreasonable & unprecedented hike in electricity bills taking the magnitude of the sanctioned load as the benchmark.

Meanwhile, I want to get my "SANCTIONED LOAD" reduced from BYPL by 'online' mode to get immediate relief.

KINDLY GUIDE ME BY RETURN MAIL: HOW TO GET THE LOAD REDUCED FROM BYPL 'ON-LINE'
