NEW DELHI : Online food delivery platform Swiggy has started alcohol home delivery service in Jharkhand starting Thursday, even as the company revealed it is also in advanced stages of discussions with multiple state governments for providing similar service.
When liquor shops were reopened in Jharkhand on Wednesday for the first time after the lockdown was imposed in the state, tipplers were seen queuing outside these shops, despite an additional 25 per cent Value Added Tax imposed on liquor by the state government.
But the residents of Ranchi can now order home delivery of alcohol through the 'Wine Shops' category by updating their Swiggy app, the company said, adding that the service will go live in other major cities in the state
