Govt seeks feedback on policy for independent food outlets

THE Delhi government has sought public feedback on its draft policy concerning independent food outlets in the national capital that seeks to ease licensing norms and aid their expansion. The policy was announced in the Rozgar Budget 2022-23 by the then finance minister Manish Sisodia.

The last date for public feedback is July 20.

According to the draft, the govt has decided to recognise the existence of independent food outlets as a separate activity since most of the stakeholder departments of the govt do not have a separate category named ‘Independent Food outlets’ in the policy regime.

“The term ‘independent food outlet’ shall include other similar terminology such as cloud kitchen, ghost kitchen, dark kitchen, base kitchen, satellite kitchen and virtual kitchen etc.,” it said.
