To woo global biz, Gujarat govt permits liquor in GIFT City

IndiaTimes Saturday, 23 December 2023
The Gujarat government has allowed alcohol consumption in GIFT City, the state's global financial services hub. This move, ahead of the Vibrant Gujarat Global summit, has been warmly welcomed by stakeholders, including tech companies, banks, and the hospitality sector. The decision is expected to attract global investors and make it easier for companies to recruit talent. GIFT City, with its world-class infrastructure, can now compete with global fintech hubs like Singapore and Dubai. Easing liquor prohibition will also boost the service sector and encourage top tech giants to establish a presence in GIFT City.
