SIVAKASI’S famed fireworks industry recorded sales worth around %6,000 crore this Deepavali — nearly matching last year’s figures — but manufacturers are optimistic that turnover will rise in the coming years following the lifting of the blanket ban on crackers in the Delhi-NCR region.

Speaking to TNIE, T Kannan, general secretary of the Indian Fireworks Manufacturers Association, said the withdrawal of the ban has started to show results. “We had sent at least 14%-15% of our crackers to Delhi, intended for sale in states such as Gujarat during Deepavali and for other festive occasions like weddings.”
