Dates as planning margins, not delivery promises
| Milestone | By |

| Diwali | 8 November 2026 |
Leftover wax is not wasted. Unused soy wax keeps for months stored sealed and cool (CSI 464 and CSI 468 state 60 months), so a buffer carries into Christmas and New Year orders.
Diwali 2026 is closer than your stock sheet thinks
You are reading this with Diwali on 8 November 2026 and the festive season already moving. Navratri begins on 11 October, Dussehra follows on 20 October, Karwa Chauth on 29 October and Dhanteras on 6 November. Gifting orders can land well before Diwali week, so your 1,000 candles need to be poured and cured well before the date on the calendar that everybody watches.
The decision: order all at once, or in two parts
The full plan for 1,000 × 200 g with a 10% buffer is 202.4 kg of CSI 464, which runs to just over a lakh of rupees at listed prices. That is a lot of cash to commit in one go. A sensible split is to order your tested wax for the first half of production now, pour and sell into Navratri, then place the second order once you see how the first candles are moving. Split it only if you have already confirmed with CSI on WhatsApp roughly how long an order takes to reach you, because delivery times are not quoted and the festive weeks are busy for everyone.
The trap: a buffer on wax, but not on oil
Makers who add 10% to wax often forget to add it to fragrance. At 16 g a candle, 1,000 candles need 16 kg of oil. With a 10% buffer that is 17.6 kg, so at least 18 bottles of 1 kg, and more once you round up scent by scent. Running out of your best-selling oil in late October is harder to fix than running out of wax, because you cannot simply swap in another scent that customers have not seen.
Another common one: using the festive run to try a new wax. The weeks before Diwali are the worst time to learn how a wax behaves. Pour the wax you have already tested.
What happens to the buffer if you do not need it
Unused wax is not lost. CSI 464 states a 60-month shelf life in cool, dry storage, so whatever is left after Diwali goes into Christmas orders for 25 December and the new year. That is why a buffer on wax is cheap insurance: the worst case is that you have bought January's wax early.
Your next step
Today, confirm your test batch results, message CSI on WhatsApp to confirm how long an order takes, and place the first-half wax and oil order this week.Where this page fits

Argue against interest
Buy the wax your candle needs, not the bag that looks professional.
We would sell more by telling you to buy 10 kg. On most of our waxes it is not cheaper per kilogram, and wax you cannot use before summer is a storage problem.
Price the candle, not the kilogram.
