With push from the chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, the concept of food trucks and nightlife will soon become reality in Mumbai. The chief minister has directed the officials to formulate a special policy to encourage food trucks in Mumbai. He has also directed to set up zones where pubs, bars and eateries can remain open throughout the night in South Mumbai. Unlike cities such as Bengaluru and Delhi, where food trucks can operate under a set of licenses from local authorities, Mumbai has no legal framework to get the food truck business rolling. Right from dealing with red tapism to acquiring various licenses from the BMC and Food & Drugs Administration (FDA), food truck owners find it difficult to navigate the system.
