Is January 1 A Dry Day In Delhi? Check Dates When Liquor Shops Will Remain Closed In 2025

Delhi Dry Days: While public sale is prohibited, private consumption is generally allowed.

Delhi Dry Days: The sale of alcohol is prohibited on certain days, including national holidays and religious festivals. While public sale is prohibited, private consumption is generally allowed. Some Indian states, like Gujarat, Bihar, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Lakshadweep, have more stringent restrictions, where both the sale and consumption of alcohol are entirely banned throughout the year. January 1, the New Year's Day, will not be a dry day. Instead, Delhi will have three dry dates on different occasions.
