PVR INOX Soars: Profits Double, Footfalls Rise 8%

PVR INOX Ltd. commenced fiscal year 2027 with a robust performance, demonstrating significant year-on-year growth. Revenue for the quarter reached INR 1,642 crores, marking a 12% increase. The company's operational efficiency improved substantially, with EBITDA nearly doubling to INR 230 crores, resulting in a healthy 14% margin. This period also saw a strong influx of audiences, as footfalls rose by 8% to 36.6 million guests.

Strategic financial management led to a net cash position of INR 80 crores as of June 30, 2026, offering considerable flexibility. Looking ahead, PVR INOX is on track to expand its presence by opening approximately 100 screens throughout the year. However, the company noted challenges including the absence of major blockbuster films in the initial quarters and past delays in screen openings due to regulatory issues. Efforts are ongoing to reach pre-COVID levels of return on capital employed.
