â¹2,000cr loss this yr as orders dip: Sivakasi firework industry
The â¹6,000-crore Sivakasi fireworks industry said they lost â¹2,000-crore worth business as they reduced their production following last year's ban on firecracker sale in Delhi-NCR. The industry said dealers were reluctant to take orders for this year over uncertainties. Refusing a blanket ban, the Supreme Court on Tuesday restricted bursting of crackers between 8pm and 10pm for Diwali this year.
