Supreme Court allows green crackers amid Iran war supply chain disruption
What happened
The Supreme Court conditionally permitted cracker units to manufacture next-generation joined green crackers on September 30, 2026. Manufacturers are reporting a 10-20% rise in cracker prices, which they attribute to higher raw material costs. These increased costs are partly driven by the war in Iran and the resulting disruption of sea route trade.

Why it matters
The combination of regulatory changes allowing new cracker types and global supply chain issues is driving up the cost of raw materials. This cost increase is being passed on to consumers in the form of higher product prices.
