New Delhi: Domestic fliers will be able to soon buy liquor at the airport with Delhi government on Monday amending excise rules permitting the setting up of liquor vends at the arrival lounge of the T3 terminal.
Currently, only passengers arriving by international flights can buy liquor at duty-free shops. The decision to allow setting up of liquor vends at the arrival lounge of the T3 terminal was taken at a cabinet meeting presided by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
"We have decided to make amendment in Delhi Excise rule, 2010, which will facilitate grant of L-10 licence for setting up of liquor shops at arrival lounge of terminal– 3 at the IGI Airport," said Dikshit.
However, the liquor vends at domestic lounge would not be duty-free, unlike in the international arrival lounge. Excise department officials said L-10 licenses are issued for opening liquor shops at shopping malls but the amendment made today would allow the government to issue licenses for setting up shops at the airport.
