Inox Leisure stated that in Q3 FY23 it added 15 new screens at four locations in the country, taking its number of screens to 722 across 170 properties. 

The company, which is in the process of merging with PVR, also stated that it is expecting the process to be completed by March 2023.

It also stated that it is Net-Debt free, as per the filing in BSE.  

Siddharth Jain, Director – INOX Leisure, said, “The inevitable cheerfulness and buoyancy is back on the cinema floor, and is clearly reflecting on our quarterly performance. This quarter not only reiterates the fact that normalcy is back, but also reconnects us with our usual journey of growth and profitability. Our constant pursuit of innovativeness and our desire to offer the best cinema-viewing experience have played significant roles in a quarter which may be termed as a remarkable one. Content, like always, remains the most critical aspect, and would continue to play a pivotal role in the coming quarters as well. With the new merged entity with PVR soon to take shape, we look forward to the new journey, which would have top-notch guest-experience forming the core of all its decisions.”
