Cinema market and equipment in India

Major exhibitors:

India has one of the largest screen counts in the world, with a long tail of single-screen cinemas running 2 kW–3 kW lamps and multiplexes on Barco, Christie and NEC 3 kW–6.5 kW. Solar simulators at PV manufacturers and NISE are a second market.

Price sensitivity is high and buyers compare against local importers of Chinese lamps. Warranty hours in writing and a clear replacement policy are the differentiators.
