- The Supreme Court asked India's pollution regulator CPCB on August 19 to examine relaxing firecracker noise limits for Diwali 2026.
- The bench told CPCB: "Please give some exception — we don't want to rush it up just before Diwali" — asking for an early decision.
- No relaxation has been approved yet — Delhi's air pollution restrictions and green cracker rules remain in place until further orders.
