PVR INOX reported a net profit of ₹187 crore in the March quarter, compared to a ₹125 crore loss in the same period last year.
Revenue rose 26% year-on-year, supported by stronger ticket sales, better movie releases and higher spending on food and beverages. Improved theatre occupancy and advertising income also boosted earnings.
The multiplex operator said operational efficiency and a strong film lineup helped drive the recovery. The company has now returned to profitability after a weak previous year, reflecting a revival in cinema-going demand across India.
