New Delhi: In an attempt to augment the national capital’s nightlife, the Delhi government has taken a policy decision to allow bars to serve liquor till 3 AM, officials said on Friday (May 6, 2022).
A senior government officer said, the government has issued necessary directions to the Excise department and an order is likely to be issued soon in accordance with the Excise Policy 2021-22.
"Bars at restaurants are now allowed to operate till 1 AM. The Excise department will work with other agencies, including police, if the timing is extended till 3 AM," he said.
It may be noted that the Excise Policy that came into force from November 2021 recommended that the timings of operation of bars may be brought at par with neighbouring cities.
Currently, in the NCR towns of Gurgaon and Faridabad in Haryana, bars are allowed to open till 3 AM. However, in Noida and Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, bars are open till 1 AM.
