The government, that had quit the retail liquor business after implementing Excise Policy 2021-22 on November 17, will get back to running alcohol vends from September 1.
After reverting to the old excise policy, the Delhi government is likely to operate 500 liquor vends from September 1 in the absence of no private players in the retail sale of alcohol, officials said on Thursday.
Following a meeting on Thursday, a sub-committee of the government has given a report stating that the four undertakings -- Delhi Tourism and Transport Development Corporation (DTTDC), Delhi State Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC), Delhi Consumer's Cooperative Wholesale Stores (DCCWS) and Delhi State Civil Supplies Corporation (DSCSC) -- will set up these vends by the end of this month.
Another 200 liquor vends will be opened by December 31, the report said.
Of these 700 outlets in total, each of the corporations will run five premium vends to sell high-end brands, it said. Two of these five vends are likely to be opened by the month end and the rest by December 31.
