The brokerage agency highlighted that in its FY26 Funds, the Karnataka authorities has proposed a state-wide cap of ₹200 on film ticket costs throughout cinemas.
Nevertheless, in accordance with the brokerage agency, the earlier such makes an attempt had been relevant solely to mainstream screens, whereas gold class seats and particular format screens—IMAX and 4Dx—had been exempted. PVR-INOX’s dearer tickets are for these particular codecs.
Furthermore, such makes an attempt confronted authorized hurdles earlier and by no means acquired formally applied.
“Apart from Karnataka, there are precedences – Andhra Pradesh Excessive Courtroom (Aug 2022) and Supreme Courtroom (Chandrachud and Narsimha bench, Jan 2023) – the place courts struck down makes an attempt to manage film ticket costs.

“Assuming common ticket worth (ATP) ( ₹252 gross ATP) and occupancy ranges (almost 24 per cent) for the steadiness screens to be identical as firm common, the total yr income affect of price-cap can be ₹19.2 crore or 0.28 per cent of revenues. The affect on EBITDA shall be even decrease,” JM Monetary stated.

A scarcity of content material, pipeline and occupancies have pressured the inventory worth. Nevertheless, these are bettering now.
“India’s GBOC for January and February 2025 was ₹2,040 crore. As well as, with a powerful line-up for March (for instance, Sikandar) and almost ₹180 crore field workplace assortment for Chhaava and Dragon in March, we imagine Q4FY25 BOC may get nearer to Q3FY25’s file GBOC of ₹3,980 crore. The content material line-up for the remainder of CY25 is promising, too. At 9 instances FY26E EV/EBITDA (pre-Ind AS), we discover present ranges enticing,” stated JM Monetary.
