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.
