Green crackers in Nashik: 76 CSIR-NEERI certified boxes from ₹17

A city built around a wine-tourism economy and a temple town that periodically hosts the world's largest religious gathering has a structural interest in air quality that goes beyond the festival calendar. Nashik's grape belt depends on visitors coming for open vineyard air, and the district's experience managing Kumbh-scale crowds at Trimbakeshwar means its administration is not unfamiliar with treating pollution notifications as something to actually enforce, not just publish.

Whatever the state adds, two nationwide orders come first. Supreme Court, 23 Oct 2018 (WP(C) 728/2015): permitted manufacture/sale of green crackers, banned barium-salt and joined crackers, limited Diwali bursting to a ~2-hour window (commonly 8–10 PM). NGT, 9 Nov & 1 Dec 2020 (O.A. 249/2020): ban on firecrackers in poor-air-quality regions including the NCR. Our green crackers guide explains what the CSIR-NEERI formulations change.

For anything newer, check the 2026 notification from the Nashik city police or the Maharashtra pollution control board. Every item in this catalogue is sourced to meet the CSIR-NEERI standard; the green crackers guide walks through what that formulation changes versus a conventional cracker, and how to check the certification mark on the box itself.
