Firecracker business was brisk in Kanpur on Diwali. Residents set off firecrackers worth about Rs 10 crore within nearly 10 hours. Buyers crowded firecracker markets from the morning, and sales continued until late at night. This time, aerial fireworks remained people’s first choice.

According to traders associated with the firecracker business, prices of firecrackers had increased by around 10 percent this year. Despite this, customer enthusiasm did not decline, and markets saw heavy purchases. Demand was higher for colourful lighting and fireworks that lit up the sky.

The president of the firecracker traders said sales remained good despite inflation. People showed interest not only in traditional firecrackers but also in new designs and products with attractive lighting.

The Diwali sales brought good business for firecracker traders. However, it is also necessary to follow pollution and safety-related rules while using fireworks.
