This increase could be making up for the fact that ticket prices in movies have remained almost unchanged in the last two years. In fact, prices declined slightly during the financial year.

In the first quarter of 2019-10 the average ticket prices were at ₹209 in PVR and ₹199 in INOX which decreased to ₹207 and ₹196 respectively, in the second quarter.

However, according to the report, the net average ticket pricing is likely to be higher in FY21 and FY22.

Moreover, the growing number of multiplexes across urban areas in the country is targeting more people. The number of multiplexes rose from 1800 to 3,000 in the last five years.
