MUMBAI : Not all mall owners in Mumbai are rushing to the idea of opening 24/7 due to concerns over additional costs, manpower and doubts over footfalls late night. Several mall owners said they are yet to decide on whether they would keep their malls open all night. A spokesperson of Mumbai's leading mall Oberoi Mall declined to comment on the development. Such moves to open shops and eating joints would work only in high streets, highly populated areas, pass through places or places where there are call centres, he added. Last week the Retailers Association of India (RAI) had welcome the state government's decision to allow shops, malls and restaurants to open 24/7.
