Center

The Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) launched the Delhi Liquor Booking app for online liquor reservations.
Officials say the app was introduced to promote transparency, digital governance, and stop brand-pushing in liquor retail.
The app recorded 3,629 transactions worth Rs 13 lakh, then 10,730 transactions worth Rs 30 lakh in 2025-26.
AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj and Congress’s Sandeep Dikshit called the scheme anti-people and urged its withdrawal.

Right

The Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) launched a Delhi Liquor Booking app for online reservations at Delhi retail outlets.
The app forces customers to collect purchases within 48 hours via QR code, with no home-delivery.
Service is limited to DSIIDC’s 208 stores, a fraction of Delhi’s 700-plus government liquor shops.
Buyers must be 25+ and limited to nine litres whisky or eighteen litres beer.

Blindspot

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj and Congress figure Sandeep Dikshit said the Delhi Liquor Booking app is anti-people, urging the BJP-led Delhi government to withdraw it.
Within this story's sources, this angle appears mainly in Center-leaning coverage and receives less attention in Right-leaning coverage.

History

India’s e-governance drive began with the National e-Governance Plan, approved on 18 May 2006. Building on early digital licensing trials, the 2024 Delhi Liquor Booking app limits purchases to 208 stores and 9 litres per order. The rollout of Mission Mode Projects such as the NSDG in 2008 underpins today’s debate over digital control.
