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

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.
