Delhi markets to follow new excise regime from today

A new excise regime is set to hit Delhi markets from Wednesday, with the liquor business now being handled completely by private players. 

The Delhi government on Tuesday bid adieu to the retail liquor business as a new excise regime is set to hit the city markets from Wednesday, with swanky liquor outlets having walk-ins and some having tasting facilities to enhance the user experience.

Tuesday was the last business day for nearly 600 government-run liquor shops operating across the national capital.
