Gurugram-based multiplex chain PVR INOX plans to open around 100 new screens in FY26, with 60–70 percent developed under its asset-light franchise owned, company operated (FOCO) model.
This strategy reduces capital expenditure while leveraging strong brand appeal with mall developers. Managing Director Ajay Bijli said 20 screens have been launched so far in this financial year, 14 under FOCO, with agreements signed for about 120 more. An additional 25–27 screens are expected this quarter, keeping expansion on track.
The company is also investing in alternative content like film re-releases to boost engagement. PVR INOX’s market cap stands at Rs 10,010 crore.
