The Supreme Court on Wednesday, October 15, partially lifted the firecracker ban in Delhi-NCR ahead of Diwali 2025, allowing the sale and use of green firecrackers from October 18 to 21 under strict conditions. The bench, led by CJI BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran, emphasised a balanced approach to celebrate the festival without compromising the environment. Bursting of green firecrackers is permitted from 6 AM to 7 AM and 8 PM to 10 PM, while traditional firecrackers remain banned. Police authorities have been directed to form patrolling teams to ensure only permitted products with QR codes are sold, and licenses will be suspended if fake firecrackers are found. The decision comes as green firecrackers have significantly reduced pollution over the past six years, with support from the National Disaster Response Force. Diwali 2025: Supreme Court Reserves Verdict on Delhi Government’s Plea To Allow Green Firecrackers for Upcoming Festival, Hints at Temporary Relaxation.
