PVR aims to operate 1,000 screens by the end of FY24, by adding 100 more screens in the next 15 months, the company’s joint managing director Sanjeev Kumar Bijli said.
The company, which on Monday achieved the milestone of 900 screens, would invest around Rs 300 crore to add another 100 screens, Bijli said.
As part of the expansion, the company is entering into newer cities, especially in the south and east parts of the country, where it has a negligible presence.
PVR is looking for smaller cities, which are unserved and have “high potential”, said Bijli.
