Gujarat passes bill allowing shops, malls, hotels and restaurants 24/7
India
Big news for anyone who loves late-night outings or works odd hours: Gujarat just passed a bill that lets shops, malls, hotels, and restaurants operate all day and night.
The old rule forcing businesses to close between 11pm and 6am is gone, so you'll have way more options whenever you want.
Bill mandates safety, worker protections, digitization
Even with these new hours, businesses must stick to safety standards and keep things clean.
Worker protections like proper shifts, rest breaks, and leave are still required.
The bill also makes running a business easier with tech-driven processes, so it's not just about convenience but also boosting Gujarat's growth plans for the future.
