That year, 28 international films were shot in India. In 2023, that number increased to 35. Each shooting project brings scores of artists and technicians / tourists to the country. That, combined with the soft power of Indian stories reaching global audiences through OTT platforms like Prime and Netflix, gives a tremendous boost to tourism. This session will explore how film industry can work in tandem with the Ministry of Tourism to drive tourist traffic to India.

These, combined with separate incentives given by state governments, make filming in India a lucrative venture. What has been the impact of this policy on inbound film shootings? How many films have availed these incentives so far and what are the bottlenecks in this area? This session will be conducted as a master-class by experts from India Cine Hub.
