NRAI hails move to scrap police nod for eateries in Delhi
NEW DELHI: The National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) has welcomed the L-G's decision to scrap the requirement for eateries to obtain a police-issued 'no-objection' certificate, calling it a transformative step for the city's food and beverage (F&B) industry. Terming it a 'much-needed reform,' the NRAI said the move would ease regulatory burdens, boost entrepreneurship, and attract investment into the sector. The order, issued by L-G, exempts restaurants and other establishments from the need to obtain the Delhi Police Eating House Licence. The licensing authority will now rest with local civic bodies like the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, New Delhi Municipal Council, and Delhi Cantonment Board. 'This change will reduce administrative hurdles and significantly improve the ease of doing business for the F&B sector,' the NRAI said. It added that the process is likely to boost investment and contribute revenue to government.

NRAI welcomes Delhi government's move easing licensing norms for F&B
The National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) on Monday expressed gratitude to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta for easing licensing norms for food and beverage (F&B) businesses in the city. As per the new directive, hotels, restaurants, guesthouses, discotheques and similar establishments operating in the national capital will no longer be required to obtain the Delhi Police Eating House Licence. 'This change will reduce administrative hurdles and significantly improve the ease of doing business for the F&B sector in the capital. This will also increase investments by the F&B sector, which will bring in additional revenue to the Delhi government's exchequer in various forms in the future,' said an NRAI statement. The decision is expected to bring major relief to restaurant owners, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, who have long struggled with the burden of acquiring multiple governmental clearances. 'We wholeheartedly thank the Central and Delhi governments for this forward-looking step. Removing the requirement for the Delhi Police Eating House Licence is a significant relief for restaurateurs who have long faced unnecessary delays and complexities,' said Sagar Daryani, NRAI president. 'We are proud that NRAI's persistent efforts have contributed to this much-needed change. This reform will not only save time and resources but also foster a more vibrant, business-friendly environment for both existing and aspiring entrepreneurs in the F&B sector,' he added. For the hospitality industry, which is still recovering from the disruptions of recent years, such a reduction in compliance burden will go a long way in encouraging entrepreneurship and boosting investor confidence. 'We hope this reform in Delhi will serve as a model for other states to revisit archaic licensing practices and move towards a more streamlined and business-friendly regulatory environment,' said K Syama Raju, president of the Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India.
