Gujarat govt plans to relax liquor norms in GIFT city

Lack of spirits won't become a damper for doing business in the mega financial centre Gujarat is building. The state is expected to dilute its decades-long prohibition rule for the Gujarat International Finance and Tec-City (GIFT), in its quest to make the enclave a worthy competitor to the big regional financial centres in Dubai and Singapore. Leaving alcohol out can become costly in this effort, as often business talks and deals happen around drinks.
