Supreme Court permits the manufacture, sale and bursting of certified Green Crackers in Delhi-NCR on 7 November 2026 and 8 November 2026, subject to strict conditions, while restoring the complete firecracker ban from 9 November 2026 to protect public health and the environment.
Relaxing the firecracker ban on a test case basis, the Court directed the administration and police to ensure that use of firecrackers shall be confined between 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM on 2 days i.e., the one before and on the Diwali day.
Previously, the Delhi Government and other National Capital Region (NCR) Governments were directed to place their decisions on record before the Court, regarding a complete ban on use of firecrackers throughout the year.
Supreme Court said that the ban on firecrackers is required not only to curb the air pollution but noise pollution as well.
