Tamil Nadu’s Shivakasi, known as the fireworks capital of India, has created a new record this Deepavali season. According to the Fireworks Traders Association, the town registered an estimated ₹7,000 crore business, which is ₹1,000 crore higher than last year’s figures.
Shivakasi hosts thousands of firework manufacturing units, supplying nearly 90% of the crackers sold across India.
Due to comparatively lower wholesale prices, people from other states also flock to Shivakasi during the festive season for purchases. The booming demand this year has further strengthened the town’s position as the undisputed hub of India’s fireworks industry.
