The Delhi government is planning to open more premium vends in the city to serve high-end customers ahead of Christmas and other festivals, an officer said Tuesday.
These stores would be bigger in size, ideally over 500 square metres, with customers given the option to select their preferred brands off the shelf. After the excise policy 2021-22 was spiked in August 2020 and private operators shut down liquor vends in Delhi, four corporations handle all liquor trade in the city.
These are Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC), Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC), Delhi Consumer's Cooperative Wholesale Store (DCCWS), and Delhi State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited (DSCSC). At present, more than 45 premium vends are in operation at major shopping hubs and malls in the city. However now, the four corporations have been directed to find suitable locations to rent out for opening more premium vends, officials said.
The new premium stores in the capital will likely be opened in the malls and shopping complexes depending upon rented space availability, the person said.
