In a formal memo on Thursday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds the excise portfolio, instructed the department to extend restaurant closing times and guarantee that no establishment is harassed if it stays open until 3 a.m.

“In November 2021, the Delhi government adopted the New Excise Policy, which allows eateries to open till 3 a.m., in line with the operational hours of NCR areas such as Gurugram and Noida. Other authorities, including the Delhi Police, are coordinating the final implementation “Sisodia’s note should be read.
