Bursting crackers in Jaipur: the 2026 timings
Diwali falls on 8 November 2026. Here is what is actually permitted in Jaipur and the rest of Rajasthan, and where to check before you buy.
This page is a summary, not the law. The bursting window and the permitted items are re-notified every season by Jaipur Police Commissionerate, the district administration and the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board, and they can differ by district. Check the current 2026 notification before Diwali.
The permitted window
Bursting in Rajasthan is normally notified for 8:00 to 10:00 PM on Diwali. Outside those hours it is an offence, including on the days either side of Diwali.
Green crackers only
Rajasthan permits certified green crackers alone. Look for the CSIR-NEERI green logo and the QR code printed on the box, and keep the box until you have burst everything in it.
Silence zones
No bursting within 100 metres of a hospital, school, court or place of worship, at any hour. Many streets in Jaipur sit inside one without a sign.
Your gated community
The housing societies and apartment towers of Jaipur, along Jagatpura, Tonk Road and Ajmer Road, often set their own rule on top of the city's: one open area, a fixed hour, or nothing in the common areas. Check with the society office first, and buy to fit its rule.
Rajasthan follows the Supreme Court's two-hour window, normally notified as 8:00 to 10:00 PM on Diwali, permits certified green crackers only, and the state government and district collectors reissue the order every season. The parts of Rajasthan inside the National Capital Region, around Alwar, Bhiwadi, Bharatpur and Deeg, follow their own, stricter orders, and we do not ship crackers anywhere a ban is in force.
What to buy if you are in an apartment
Certified green, silent or low noise, and safe on a balcony or a shared terrace. 8 boxes from the list that meet all three.
Ordering in time
Parcels reach Jaipur in 6 to 8 days from Sivakasi, and the transport lines are at their busiest in the final week, so an early order in the season lands with time to spare. See crackers delivery in Jaipur for how your parcel actually arrives. Fireworks are classed as explosives, so they may not be carried on Jaipur Metro, on RSRTC or city buses, or by ordinary courier.
Jaipur cracker timings: questions people ask
What time can I burst crackers in Jaipur for Diwali 2026?
The Supreme Court's standing direction limits bursting to two hours, and in Rajasthan that window has normally been notified as 8:00 to 10:00 PM on Diwali. The order is reissued every year, so confirm the 2026 notification before Diwali on 8 November 2026.
Are only green crackers allowed in Rajasthan?
Rajasthan has permitted certified green crackers only in recent seasons, following the Supreme Court's orders. Look for the CSIR-NEERI green mark and the QR code printed on the box; each box this site labels green has both. The rule can change by season, so confirm the current notification.
Do you ship to Alwar, Bhiwadi, Bharatpur and Deeg?
These four sit in the National Capital Region, where cracker orders have been stricter than in the rest of Rajasthan and change from year to year. We do not ship crackers anywhere a ban is in force there, so ask us on WhatsApp before you order for an address in that belt.
What is a silence zone?
Any place within 100 metres of a hospital, a nursing home, a school, a court or a temple, mosque, church or gurudwara. No bursting is permitted there at any hour, and many lanes of Jaipur's walled city fall inside one without a sign saying so.
What if someone bursts crackers after the permitted hours?
Bursting out of hours can be booked under the Environment (Protection) Act and the Noise Pollution Rules, and complaints to the police on Diwali night are followed up. We are not lawyers and this page is not legal advice: treat the notification from the Jaipur Police Commissionerate, the district administration and the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board as the authority.
Can I carry crackers on Jaipur Metro or a bus?
No. Fireworks are classed as explosives and may not be carried on Jaipur Metro, on RSRTC or city buses, or by ordinary courier. For the same reason every order from us goes by registered road transport and nothing else.
