PVR INOX's Big Picture: A Bold New Plan for 100 New Screens

Gurugram-based multiplex operator PVR INOX plans to add around 100 new screens in FY26, with 60–70% of them developed under its asset-light Franchise Owned, Company Operated (FOCO) model.

This approach allows the company to scale efficiently by reducing capital expenditure while leveraging its strong brand appeal with mall developers. Managing Director Ajay Bijli stated that 20 screens have already been launched this financial year, including 14 under the FOCO model, with agreements signed for around 120 additional screens.

PVR INOX expects to roll out another 25–27 screens in the current quarter, keeping expansion plans on track. The company is also focusing on alternative content strategies, such as film re-releases, to enhance audience engagement.

PVR INOX currently holds a market capitalization of ₹10,010 crore.
