Chandigarh to Roll Out Red Carpet for Bollywood: New Film Policy on the Cards
Chandigarh administration is gearing up to launch a comprehensive film policy, aiming to transform the city into a major filming hub. The move, announced on July 9, 2025, seeks to leverage the burgeoning film industry to boost tourism and economic growth.
The policy, largely aligned with the central government’s guidelines, will incorporate provisions specific to Chandigarh’s unique needs. A key feature will be a streamlined single-window system for faster shooting permissions.
This will significantly reduce bureaucratic hurdles, making it easier for filmmakers to operate in the city. The policy is also expected to incorporate attractive incentives to lure film productions.
The long-term vision includes the possibility of developing a dedicated Film City, further solidifying Chandigarh’s position on the cinematic map of India. This project could bring substantial investment and create numerous jobs.
This proactive step by the Chandigarh administration holds immense potential for the city’s economic future. A thriving film industry will not only generate revenue but also enhance its global visibility, attracting both tourists and investors.
