The new liquor policy was implemented on November 17 2021 and was later scrapped by Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena in July 2022. The LG recommended a CBI inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the policy.

The Delhi government also proposed some relaxations to sellers, such as permits to offer discounts to consumers to boost sales.
