I didn't understand this... what if an establishment does not have a nameplate? For example, Hilton Hotels. They have a huge name but no nameplate.
Will they have to replace it with the name in Marathi?
Or will they have to add the name in Marathi alongside the current name?
If the Hilton Hotels in Mumbai don't have a nameplate then they might not have this particular issue to deal with..
Anyway in Mumbai I have recently seen retail shops of Nike, Reebok and some other lifestyle brands having nameplates in both English and Marathi recently.
As far as i could see there was no drop in the crowds at those places after putting up the nameplate in Marathi so i don't think it will matter much to the large multinationals..
What could be more interesting is the effect of the rule on the common road-side shops/hotels
