Food truck license in Delhi may take a month time before final nod

Though the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has cleared the proposal for issuing licence to food trucks at different locations in its district, the health department is still examining various factors before finalising the new policy.

Once prepared, the policy will be placed before the House for final approval and implementation, reported TNN.

“The proposal approved in the standing committee and House meeting was private and moved by an elected representative. That’s why before implementing the proposal on ground we need to prepare a policy and get the preamble passed again,” shared an SDMC official.

The department is examining various factors such as provision for taking permission from the land-owing agencies where these food vans will be placed, process for obtaining fire NOCs, their feasible timings and waste disposal process to avoid inconvenience to people living in the neighbourhood.
