Supreme Court mandates PESO certification for firecracker manufacturers
What happened
The Supreme Court allowed the bursting of approved green firecrackers in Delhi-NCR on November 7 and 8. However, the court imposed strict conditions, requiring manufacturers to hold valid certifications from both CSIR-NEERI and the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation. Manufacturers may only produce green crackers listed on the CSIR-NEERI website during the permitted manufacturing window of November 2–6.

Why it matters
The mandate requires manufacturers to obtain certification from the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation, which restricts which companies can produce and sell green crackers in the region. This ensures that only specific, approved products are available during the temporary relaxation period.
