Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, which was implemented in November last year, changed the way how alcohol was sold in the city, with the government withdrawing from the business and allowing only private operators to run liquor shops. Delhi was divided into 32 zones inviting firms to bid for a license.
