Delhi liquor booking app opens at 208 DSIIDC outlets

Delhi residents can now reserve and pay for liquor through the Delhi Liquor Booking app before going to a shop, though they will still need to collect the order themselves.

The Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) has made the facility available at its 208 retail outlets across the capital. Users can check whether a brand is in stock, choose bottle sizes and quantities, select a store, and pay online. The app then generates a QR code for collection at the selected outlet.

Customers must be at least 25 years old and collect prepaid orders within 48 hours. They can cancel an order before pickup, but bottles cannot be returned after sale or collection.

Existing excise limits continue: an individual may buy up to nine litres of whisky and 18 litres of beer. DSIIDC said the service is intended to cut queues and pressure at payment counters, while allowing buyers to check availability before travelling to a store.

The booking option currently applies only to DSIIDC shops; there is no home-delivery service.
