Delhi to Repeal 20-Year-Old Bed and Breakfast Law, Introduce New Policy Framework
Delhi plans to repeal its 2007 Bed and Breakfast Establishments Act, replacing the two-decade-old law with a new policy framework. The government cites significant changes in the hospitality sector and aims for a more flexible regulatory approach. This move follows a deadly fire in Malviya Nagar that exposed safety violations, prompting stricter enforcement. Over 750 B&Bs are currently registered under the existing law, and the repeal signals a major shift in regulation. The situation is developing with further updates expected.
