In a push to enhance tourism and drive economic growth, the Delhi government on Wednesday granted approval for 24-hour operations of restaurants in Aerocity, a prominent hospitality zone near the IGI Airport.

Already home to some 4-star and higher-rated hotels operating around the clock, Aerocity will now see its restaurants follow suit, offering greater access to diverse dining options, an official statement said.

It said Chief Minister Atishi approved the proposal aimed at attracting more tourists and increasing government revenue through enhanced licensing fees.

This 24×7 model is not only expected to enhance visitor experiences but also contribute significantly to the state’s revenue, the statement added.

The initiative mirrors a similar policy in Haryana’s Gurugram, where restaurants have seen revenue gains by operating extended hours in exchange for extra fees.
