Reports now say that Swiggy, BigBasket, and Zomato are going big for liquor delivery. As reported by Economic Times, delivery companies are most likely to start off the initiative with low-alcohol beverages like beer, wine, and liqueurs.
This comes against the backdrop of several states, including New Delhi, Karnataka, Haryana, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, and more recently Goa and Kerala, who are considering pilot projects to test feasibility and implications of such services.
According to the report, authorities are currently weighing the pros and cons of expansion in the home-delivery option in alcohol beverages, citing industry executives.
Compared with other states, it is being allowed home delivered under the state-imposed COVID-19 lockdowns in Odisha and West Bengal, and with significant restrictions in some other states like Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Assam.
