Firecrackers are still banned in Delhi for Diwali 2026, with no new relaxation announced by the Supreme Court. The court questioned authorities on enforcing existing restrictions and indicated it is not in favor of a complete ban. Diwali falls on November 8, but Delhi residents cannot assume permission to burst even green crackers. The Delhi government maintains a perpetual ban on manufacture and sale of all firecrackers.
