Despite the setbacks, Ajay Bijli, Managing Director of PVR Inox, remained optimistic.
“FY25 was a year of transformation for us. We focused on innovation, agility, and became a future-ready organization,” he said.
Cost-Control Measures Show Results
PVR Inox managed to reduce total expenses by 13.67%, bringing them down from ₹1,712.8 crore in Q3 to ₹1,478.7 crore in Q4. These cost-control efforts suggest that the company is working toward stabilizing its financial structure amid industry-wide challenges.
Looking Ahead Amid Industry Challenges

However, with anticipated big-budget releases and a more predictable release calendar in FY26, PVR Inox may look to bounce back. Investors and moviegoers alike will be watching closely as the company navigates a challenging entertainment landscape.
