Delhi Allows Home Delivery of Liquor

 

Take-Away of Draught Beer from Micro-Breweries Also Permitted

Delhiites can soon order Home Delivery of Liquor through a Mobile Application or a Website, with the City Government permitting such facility by issuing a Notification, which also allows Take-Away of Draught Beer in Bottles or Growlers from the Micro-Breweries in the National Capital.

The Rules, notified on Monday, permit the Holders of the Necessary Licences to serve Liquor in Open Spaces such as Terraces, Courtyards of Clubs, Bars and Restaurants, where customers will have the choice of getting Alcohol in Bottles.

However, it will be the Sole Responsibility of Such Establishments to ensure that no customer takes the served Bottles out of the Licensed Premises.

The Move will boost the Government's Revenue at a time when Delhi's Economy is struggling in view of the Covid-induced Lockdown that has been in place since April 2019.

According to the notification, the Licensee will deliver Liquor at the Buyers' Residences only if the orders are received through An App or A Web Portal.

The Confederation of Indian Alcoholic Beverage Companies (CIABC) has welcomed the Government's Move to allow Home Delivery of Liquor in The National Capital.
