Adjust for your area
Cities with noise limits sell more sparklers, fountains and fancy items. Towns and villages sell more sound crackers and walas. Temple towns sell more aerial items. Tell us where your shop is and we will adjust the mix.
Do not over-buy slow items
Fireworks cannot be returned. Keep expensive showpieces to what you can sell. Top up mid-season instead.

How to start a crackers shop for Diwali
A seasonal cracker stall can pay back in three weeks, if the licence is in place and the stock mix is right.
Crackers licence: what a shop needs to sell fireworks
No licence, no stock. Here is what a shop needs before the first carton arrives.
GST on crackers: rate, HSN code and invoices
Crackers are taxed at 18% GST. A proper invoice on your purchase lets a registered shop claim it back.
Crackers shop margin: what a shop really earns
Every box has a printed MRP far above the trade rate. Very few shops sell at full MRP, so plan your margin on a discounted selling price.
How bulk crackers are transported across India
Crackers go by road with carriers licensed to move fireworks. Never by courier, rail or air.
Storing crackers safely in a shop or godown
Stock that is stored well stays safe and sells. Damp or damaged crackers do neither.
