As you can see in the previous posts I have published every couple of months here to announce new categories (there's an overview here) the list of new categories is typically 10 or less. But this time... there's a genuine avalanche: 46!
There are quite a few new categories for specific restaurant types (as we've seen also on previous occasions). Some are from the financial sector (Business banking service and Cooperative bank), other are related to relative recent phenomena in society (like Drone shop, Electric vehicle charging station contractor or Shared-use commercial kitchen) but the most striking trend is that there is a specific focus on categories that are linked to Asia or specific Asian countries. Take e.g. Aadhar center, Anganwadi center or Government ration shop: as far as I can judge those will be specifically meant for or at least will come in very handy in India. Probably @TravellerG or @Tushar_Suradkar can provide further details here.
The full list of new categories then (in alphabetical order):

Thanks, @JanVanHaver.
About 8 of them will come in handy in Denmark as well. I hope the translations will be done quickly.
I already edited our one and only drone shop and 18 cooperative banks. Thanks.
Cheers

That's big news @JanVanHaver
If the average is 10 for a new batch of categories added each time, this is definitely a riot of new ones.
The following are clearly meant for India:

That was super-quick @MortenCopenhagen
It is well known that 'cooperative' is huge in Scandinavian countries.
In India too the Cooperative movement is big and unfortunately concentrated in the western states like Maharashtra and Gujarat.
The region around Pune where both I and @C_T live is well known for its hundreds of cooperative sugar mills.
Also, you would be surprised to know that India's largest milk producer is not a private company but a cooperative called Amul and is located in neighboring Gujarat.

Thanks for sharing the details. You might also be surprised: while in University I helped my old professor prepare his last report on Operation Flood about how the Danish Cooperative movement helped Indian farmers organize and build the dairy industry. Also, I studied the food system of some small villages just south of Mysore behind Chamundi Hill. But it is many years back.
Cheers

Indeed @MortenCopenhagen it might still take a while before they all get translated, but the experience of the last year or so is that sooner or later more or less all newly added ones also get translated. A few in that list of 46 were available already end 2020 (like, indeed, Cooperative bank), and have been translated already, but most seem to be very recent additions, so we'll have to be a bit patient there. (Last time I checked was a couple of weeks ago and at that point there were only 3 or 4 new ones compared to Octover 2020)

Thank you ever so much @Tushar_Suradkar for adding those details - with such a big list I had not had the time yet to check what exactly each of them meant, so I kinda hoped someone from the Indian community would jump in an provide the local knowledge 🙏

@Tushar_Suradkar also for 'Government ration shop' there was an Indian local guide asking for this on Connect a while ago - unfortunately I can't find his post back (it might have been merged into the huge 'Reconsider new criteria' post - but that now has 47 pages of comments to go through)
