About 40% of the new screens will come from South India, where PVR INOX will have a strategic focus as part of its medium to long-term strategy. The company is also redefining its growth strategy by transitioning towards a capital-light growth model, which will reduce its capex on new screens addition by 25 to 30% in the current fiscal.
As part of this strategy, PVR INOX will partner with developers to jointly invest in new screen capex, by shifting towards a franchise-owned and company-operated (FOCO) model. The company is also evaluating monetisation of owned real estate assets, as it aims to become a net-debt free company in the foreseeable future.
According to the company, this involves a potential monetisation of non-core real estate assets in prime locations such as Mumbai, Pune, and Vadodara. The focus is to speed up expansion in underrepresented markets.
In a bid to optimize its operations, PVR INOX will close almost 60-70 non-performing screens in FY25. However, this will be offset by the addition of 120 new screens, which will help the company maintain its market share.
The decision to monetize non-core real estate assets is a strategic move by PVR INOX to unlock value from its prime properties. This will not only help the company reduce its debt but also provide a boost to its growth plans.
The company's focus on South India is also a strategic move, as the region has a large and growing market for multiplexes. By expanding its presence in this region, PVR INOX can tap into the growing demand for quality entertainment options.
Overall, PVR INOX's plans to monetize its non-core real estate assets and focus on profitable growth are positive moves that will help the company maintain its market leadership.
PVR INOX is a leading multiplex operator in India, with a strong presence in the country's film exhibition market. The company has a large network of screens across the country and is known for its high-quality entertainment options.
