Delhi Airport Liquor Outlet Faces Stock Shortage Despite Contract Renewal
Imagine a store at the Delhi airport that sells alcohol.
For about three months, the store has had very little alcohol to sell, even though the contract to run the store was recently extended for two years.
This has caused the store to lose money.
The people in charge of the airport have asked the company that runs the store to get more alcohol.
The company explained that there were some issues when they first started running the shop at the airport and they needed to renew their contract.
They are now working on getting more alcohol in the store soon.
Delhi Airport's liquor outlet at Terminal 3 is experiencing a shortage of stock for about three months.
Despite contract renewal, the shop has faced revenue losses due to the lack of alcohol.
Airport authorities have contacted the Delhi Consumers’ Cooperative Wholesale Store Ltd (DCCWS) to replenish stock.
DCCWS cited operational issues and contract renewal processes as contributing factors to the shortage.
The shop reopened after two years following an investigation into Delhi's excise policy.
