Delhi Restaurants And Bars In High-End Hotels Can Run 24x7

Restaurants and bars in high-end hotels will now be allowed stay open round the clock as licensing rules were eased in what has been pegged by the authorities as a New Year gift to the hospitality industry.

In four and five-star hotels, restaurants and bars can stay open 24 hours. Those within the airport, railway stations, and the ISBT (Inter State Bus Terminus) too can operate round the clock. The eateries in three-star hotels can operate till 2 am and the rest are allowed to run business till 1 am.

The changes come following a report by a panel set up in November by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to ease the license requirements for restaurants.
