The Delhi government has imposed a comprehensive ban on the production, storage, sale, and use of all kinds of firecrackers across the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, effective immediately until January 1, 2025. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) announced the ban, which includes prohibitions on manufacturing, storing, and selling firecrackers, including delivery through online marketing platforms.
