New Delhi : Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has granted initial approval to the Food Truck Policy, aiming to transform the national capital into a bustling 'Food Truck Capital'. Recognizing the enormous potential of the food truck industry, the Chief Minister highlighted its positive impact on employment and the overall economy.
With this policy, Delhi residents will soon have the pleasure of enjoying a diverse array of delicacies, even during late hours, adding to the city's vibrant culinary landscape, as stated by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO).
PWD Minister Atishi emphasized the government's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of aesthetics, sanitation, and hygiene at all food truck stations. She reassured the public that the government's comprehensive approach focuses on creating a safe and enjoyable dining environment that prioritizes the well-being and satisfaction of patrons.
The Food Truck Policy will initially commence with the operation of food trucks in 16 carefully selected locations across the city. Once successfully implemented, this model will be replicated throughout Delhi, extending the reach of this unique culinary experience to various neighborhoods.
Additionally, the introduction of food hubs across Delhi showcases the government's dedication to enhancing India's food culture. These hubs will serve as focal points for culinary enthusiasts, providing a platform for local vendors and aspiring entrepreneurs to showcase their delightful creations, according to the CMO.
Chief Minister Kejriwal took to Twitter to announce, "The Delhi Government will soon introduce a 'Food Truck Policy' to boost the economy and employment in Delhi. It was approved during today's meeting. With this scheme, Delhiites will be able to enjoy delicious food even late at night, providing employment opportunities and strengthening the economy."
The primary objective of the Delhi Food Truck Plan is to establish Delhi as the 'Food Truck Capital'. The government aims to support small businesses, generate employment opportunities, and invigorate the city's night-time economy. Delhi residents will soon have the convenience of savoring delectable cuisines at any time, fostering the growth of the food truck culture in the capital.
The PWD department of the Delhi government has initially identified 16 locations, including popular marketplaces and neighborhoods across different districts, to establish these food truck hubs. The plan will kickstart from these locations, with subsequent food truck hubs opening up throughout the city.
Food trucks have gained immense popularity in major cities and tourist destinations worldwide, and now Delhi is joining this global trend. The Kejriwal government aims to promote the food culture of Delhi, allowing residents to experience the culinary diversity of various Indian cities, similar to their international counterparts, according to the CMO.
"The Food Truck Policy prioritizes the maintenance and upkeep of these food hubs, with a designated agency entrusted with their operation and maintenance. This agency will ensure the cleanliness and proper organization of the food hubs, as well as ensure that all food trucks operate exclusively within the government-designated food hubs," added the release.
