Chandigarh’s commercial landscape is undergoing a massive transformation. Once known for turning in early, the city is rapidly morphing into a round-the-clock hub.
More than 179 major brands—ranging from fast-food giants like McDonald’s to quick-commerce apps like Blinkit, alongside local bakeries and cafes—have submitted formal undertakings to the UT Labour Department to operate 24/7.
Driven by changing millennial lifestyles and a booming food-delivery culture, hotspot hubs like the Sector 8 inner market are leading the charge into the city’s new vibrant night economy.
