India’s largest and most premium cinema exhibitor, PVR INOX, has officially entered the Jabalpur market with the launch of its first-ever multiplex in the city. Located on the fourth floor of the newly rebranded KA Mall, near Naudra Bridge, the new property promises an elevated cinema experience for local audiences.
The launch marks a significant expansion under the company’s Franchise Owned Company Operated (FOCO) model—an asset-light strategy designed to scale premium cinemas in high-growth Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The new multiplex at KA Mall houses four uniquely themed auditoriums—Red, Gold, Purple, and Teal—with a total seating capacity of 611, including 25 luxurious recliners.
The interiors boast Udine slider seating, fabric-finished walls, and elegant 'V'-shaped ambient lighting, delivering a mood-rich environment that aligns with different film genres.
PVR INOX has equipped the multiplex with Christie RGB Laser projectors, Dolby 7.1 surround sound, and a next-gen 3D system, ensuring crystal-clear visuals and immersive soundscapes.
"This launch is not just about opening a new property—it’s about introducing the signature PVR INOX experience to a vibrant city for the first time. Strategically located at KA Mall and launched under our FOCO model, the multiplex is designed to be a complete entertainment destination that blends cutting-edge technology with thoughtful design. We’re excited to begin this new chapter with a compelling title like Raid 2 and look forward to building lasting connections with Jabalpur’s moviegoers," said Mr. Pramod Arora, CEO- Growth & Investment, PVR INOX Limited.
The FOCO model allows PVR INOX to manage operations, design, and development while local franchisees own the infrastructure—ensuring faster rollouts and standardised quality.
Mr. Gaurav Bhanot, Director: KA REALBUILD Pvt. Limited, added: "Jabalpur has long deserved access to experiences that match the aspirations of its people. Bringing PVR INOX to the city isn’t just about adding a multiplex, it’s about bringing the energy, scale, and quality of world-class cinema right to the heart of the city. At KA Mall, our goal has always been to create a space that reflects the evolving lifestyle of Jabalpur, and this launch is a big step in that direction."
From its sleek exterior to the plush interiors and centrally located concessionaire, every detail of the multiplex reflects PVR INOX’s commitment to providing a best-in-class moviegoing experience. Positioned to become a cultural hub, the venue opens with the screening of Raid 2, setting the tone for a dynamic new era of entertainment in Jabalpur.
